🛡️ WireGuard for VSCode

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

1. Install the Extension:

   • Search for WireGuard for VSCode in the VSCode Marketplace and click Install.

2. Install wireproxy:

   • Download the wireproxy binary from wireproxy releases.
   • 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

1. Click the status bar item (WireGuard: No Config or similar) in the bottom-right corner of VSCode.
2. Select a WireGuard configuration file (.conf) via the file picker.
3. 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.

🌟 Contributing

This is a small personal project to simplify secure VSCode networking, but I’d love contributions! Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests on GitHub.
