Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/200

Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

Proxyman 1.4.3

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

macOs Mojave 10.14.5

Steps to reproduce

open Proxyman (Proxy Settings are active)
force-quit the app (right click on app icon and hold down the option key while clicking 'close')
other apps are unable to connect to the internet
current fix for this is restarting Proxyman (and then optionally correctly shutting it down)

Expected behavior

traffic of other apps should not depend on termination style (force quit / crash) of Proxyman

As we discuss. Here is the proposals:

If Proxy Helper tool is already installed, the we force quitting Proxyman -> Helper Tool could detect and revert automatically -> This approach is more reasonable, since Helper Tool is dependent process, and it doesn't affect by parent process.
If not: It's impossible to revert the Proxy Setting, unless you manually revert it in Network Preference.

I suggest I'd implement the 1st one, since it's feasible 👍

Thank you for the report 💯
