Description
When using External Proxy → PAC in Proxyman, PAC rules that return SOCKS5 127.0.0.1:1080 are ignored (requests don’t get forwarded to the upstream SOCKS proxy).
Changing the exact same rule to SOCKS 127.0.0.1:1080 immediately makes it work.
MacOS Native PAC engines accept SOCKS5 as a synonym of SOCKS.
Workaround
Use SOCKS host:port instead of SOCKS5 host:port in the PAC file consumed by External Proxy.
Environment
- App version: Proxyman 5.24.0
- macOS version: macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
