The Import / Export tab moves proxy configurations in and out of the extension. Everything happens on your device; nothing is uploaded at any point, including when you encrypt.

​
Importing

Choose a file or paste the content into the box, then press Import. Leave the format on Auto-detect unless you have a reason not to. It identifies the file by its structure, and it recognises exports from other proxy extensions as well as this one — a JSON backup from a different proxy manager imports without you having to say what it is. Recognised input:
  • ProxyJam JSON, including files written by builds before 1.0.0
  • JSON backups from other proxy extensions
  • Plain text, one host:port per line
  • CSV with a header row containing host and port

​
What comes across

Profiles, bypass entries, and auto-switch rules, where the source file has them. Rules are resolved to the profiles created in the same import, by name.

​
The report

Every import ends with a report, and it is worth reading. It counts what was created and separately lists:
  • Rejected entries — a duplicate, or over a limit.
  • Skipped entries — malformed, with the first few reasons shown.
  • Rejected rules — a condition this extension cannot express, or a target it could not resolve.
Malformed input never disappears silently. If a line could not be turned into a profile, the report says so and why.

​
Encrypted files

If you paste or select a file the extension recognises as one of its own encrypted exports, a password field appears. Enter the password used to create it. A wrong password and a modified file are reported the same way, because they are indistinguishable — that is what the authentication tag is for.

​
Exporting

Pick a format and press Export. The file downloads immediately. Only ProxyJam JSON round-trips completely. Text and CSV carry profiles alone.

​
Passwords

Exports omit usernames and passwords unless you turn on Include passwords. When you do and you are not encrypting, the tab warns you that the file will contain plaintext credentials — because it will.

​
Encryption

Turn on Encrypt with a password to wrap the export in AES-256-GCM. Three things change automatically, and the interface shows each one:
1

The format is forced to ProxyJam JSON

An encrypted envelope wraps this extension’s own format; the other formats have nothing to wrap.
2

Credentials are always included

A backup you cannot restore from is not a backup. Inside the envelope they are encrypted.
3

The file lands as .pjenc

So it is obvious what it is, and so importing it prompts for the password.
The password must be at least 8 characters and is asked for twice.
The password is never stored and never leaves your device. If you lose it, the file cannot be recovered — by you or by anyone else.
