Tunnel VSCode network requests through WireGuard using wireproxy for enhanced security and bypassing regional restrictions. Automatically activates on startup to ensure seamless, secure connectivity.
⚡ Installation
Install the Extension:
Search for WireGuard for VSCode in the VSCode Marketplace and click Install.
Windows: Add the wireproxy.exe directory to your PATH:
Open System Properties → Advanced → Environment Variables.
Edit the Path variable and add the directory containing wireproxy.exe.
Linux/macOS: After installation, wireproxy is typically added to PATH automatically.
❓ Usage
Click the status bar item (WireGuard: No Config or similar) in the bottom-right corner of VSCode.
Select a WireGuard configuration file (.conf) via the file picker.
The extension will automatically start wireproxy, set the proxy, and update the status bar to WireGuard: <profile_name>.
💡 How It Works
The extension automates secure tunneling of VSCode’s network traffic (e.g., extension downloads, telemetry):
Sets http.proxy to http://127.0.0.1:25345 in VSCode settings.
Spawns the wireproxy process with the selected WireGuard .conf file.
Displays real-time connection status via the status bar with a tooltip showing the current status and port.
Handles errors gracefully, resetting the configuration if wireproxy fails or the config is invalid.
Uses "*" in activationEvents to activate immediately on VSCode startup, ensuring the proxy is set up before other extensions make network requests, allowing their traffic to be securely tunneled.
