Please add vital feature : "Always use and download with a direct connection without using a VPN extension connection."

[audacieuxnumber1]

Hello, many users from the West and others countries complain of the problem is the abusive Cloudflare Recaptcha tests that are making our life a nightmare, and for me cloudflare loop captcha abusive tests preventing me from accessing my favorite anime streaming sites....

So I found the solution: use a free VPN extension, and Cloudflare Recaptch abusive tests are gone!

but the problem downloading with a vpn will be slow because i use free vpn extension used by millions of people who throttle the speed of download and streaming,

so our dream please is Mr @alireza-amirsamimi adds new feature

to use system os proxy to bypass VPN connection to download directly without a VPN connection

in settings

to avoid the use of vpn extension connection thus we can download the video quickly without using the vpn connection, thanks!

Update : Hi again !

I have new important things

regarding my request to use a direct connection to download videos and avoid using slow vpn extension connection,
I have sensational new good news !

Today I also made the same request to greet Mr Puemos the developer of "hls-downloader" who accepted my request and after a few minutes achieved the technical feat of adding this feature in a new commit !!! :

https:// github. com / puemos / hls-downloader/ pull/ 461

feat: allow toggling system proxy
feat/add-enable/disable-proxy-feature

Summary
add proxyEnabled option to config slice
add switch on Settings page to toggle system proxy
apply proxy settings in background and request proxy permission
Testing

pnpm test:background
pnpm test:popup

So we hope please that great FDM Team will try to add this vital life saver feature please into FDM extension, thanks!

to test because some streaming sites can be blocked, here is my secret document where I group the anime streaming sites and secret streaming sources :

Also i find new trick that I just invented and tested to avoid captcha and download directly without vpn :

The ProtonVPN extension is always enabled. I install this awesome extension manager made by great Mr @ rNeomy which allows me to toggle the most important extensions, like ProxyToggle, so I can quickly and easily enable/disable them:

https://github.com/rNeomy/addon-manager

And by enabling ProxyToggle:

https://github.com/PlayerYK/ProxyToggle

The ProtonVPN extension no longer works=
and I can use Stream-Recorder extension to download directly without a VPN!

But ideally, the video download extension should never use a VPN connection for greater speed and simplicity!

so to be clear : this is my new trick that i tested and works to download video directly
without using slow vpn extension extension :

Here's my favorite streaming site:

https://v6.voiranime.com/anime/dragon-raja-2/dragon-raja-2-06-vostfr/

Without a VPN extension, I can have 10 consecutive captcha tests before I can access the video player, but with the free Proton VPN extension:

https://protonvpn.com/download-chrome-extension

Cloudflare's abusive recaptcha loops disappear!

So here's my new trick that I just invented and tested to avoid captcha and download directly without vpn :

The ProtonVPN extension is always enabled. I install this awesome extension manager made by great Mr @ rNeomy which allows me to toggle the most important extensions, like Persepolis extension and ProxyToggle, so I can quickly and easily enable/disable them:

https://github.com/rNeomy/addon-manager

And by enabling ProxyToggle:

https://github.com/PlayerYK/ProxyToggle

The ProtonVPN extension no longer works, and I can use the HLS-Downloader extension to download directly without a VPN!

but the ideal we hope the video download extension should never use a VPN connection for greater speed and simplicity!

also I found another solution:

i enable external parser "N_m3u8DL-RE" in Cat-Catch extension settings and i add this command:

--use-system-proxy

https://github.com/xifangczy/cat-catch/releases
https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE

and the dream becomes true: i can use vpn extension to bypass captcha and download video directly with N_m3u8DL-RE without using vpn extension connection, but the negative point sometimes downloads fail with N_m3u8DL-RE maybe because it stills in beta, that's why i prefer use web browser extension internal downloader....

to test this solution of using external parser N_m3u8DL-RE without vpn with Cat-Catch :

we should put N_m3u8DL-RE, ffmpeg, and URLProtocol in the same folder, then rename N_m3u8DL-RE.exe to m3u8dl.exe and click on URLProtocol:

Protocol name: m3u8dl
Target program: C:\m3u8dl\m3u8dl.exe

All that to say it is possible to download videos by bypass avoid slow vpn extension connection !

Hello
Why don't you use proxy tab?

[audacieuxnumber1]

Thanks you so much Mr @alireza-amirsamimi for your precious advise ! 💯

The only little problem is that it's too difficult to find reliable, long-lasting free proxies. It's also difficult to configure them manually , and it's very more easier to find free VPN extensions with a reliable, unlimited free connection, so please, Mr @alireza-amirsamimi :

our dream please is :

the ideal for even easier and simpler use is a proxy settings section with four capital options:

-no proxy
-use system proxy configuration
-get proxy configuration from the environment
-use manually specified proxy configuration

Just like "media-downloader" which has all these important four proxy options. Thanks!
