Description
Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)
Version 2.35.0 (23500)
macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)
12.0.1 (21A559)
Steps to reproduce
- Before launching Proxyman, system proxy is set to a company server, say proxy.example.com.
- Launch Proxyman. System proxy is set to local host (now goes through Proxyman).
- Lose Internet connection because outgoing traffic no longer goes through designated company server.
Expected behavior
Proxyman reads original system proxy settings before applying override, and sets original proxy servers as Proxyman's external proxy settings, if supported.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the macOS system-proxy handling and the external-proxy settings, then trace how launching Proxyman replaces the system proxy. Done means the original supported proxy is retained as Proxyman’s external proxy so traffic continues through the company server.
