Please add vital feature : "Always use and download with a direct connection without using a slow 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 Recaptcha 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 @giantpinkrobots 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

pnpm test:background
pnpm test:popup

So we hope please that great @giantpinkrobots will try to add this vital life saver feature please into Varia 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:

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 Varia extension and ProxyToggle, so I can quickly and easily enable/disable them:

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

And by enabling 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 !
