How a disabled set behaves
Rules in a disabled set are skipped entirely during matching. They are not deleted, their order is preserved, and turning the set back on restores them exactly as they were. A rule that belongs to no set is always active. Assign a rule to a set with the set selector on its row.Typical uses
- A Work set holding the rules for internal hosts, off outside working hours.
- A Testing set that routes a staging domain through a specific proxy, on only while you are testing.
- A Region set per country, with one enabled at a time.
Deleting a set
Deleting a set does not delete its rules. They become ungrouped and therefore active again. If you meant to stop them routing, disable them individually or move them to another set first.Because a disabled set changes which rules route, toggling one re-applies the proxy configuration immediately. On Chrome and Edge the PAC script is recompiled; on Firefox the next request picks up the change.
