Unproxy

Magically remove the proxy addresses from email links and images.

Remove proxy addresses from email links and images. Mail providers rewrite the URLs in a message to point at their own servers. Gmail turns an image URL into ci3.googleusercontent.com/meips/… and keeps the original tucked on the end after a "#". When the original lives somewhere the provider's servers cannot reach — a VPN-only host, an internal staging environment, a private network — the image simply never loads. Unproxy sends the request straight to the original instead, and the image appears. FEATURES • Images load from their real source. Requests to a proxied address are redirected to the original before they leave your browser, so pictures hosted on internal or VPN-only servers finally render in your inbox. • Works in Gmail out of the box. Install it and open your mail — there is nothing to configure. • Add your own provider. Options → Add a provider handles other webmail services: give the site you read mail on and the addresses it routes through, and say where the real address hides — at the end after "#", in a labelled parameter, or inside scrambled text. • Try it before you save. Paste a broken URL into the tester and see exactly what the rule will turn it into, so you are never guessing. • Cannot read your email. Unwrapping happens at the network layer, using Chrome's declarativeNetRequest rules. The page's contents are never touched or examined — the extension has no access to your messages at all. This is the reason for the design, not a side effect of it. • Display unwrapped links (optional). Turn this on to correct the addresses shown in the page itself, so links look right and copy right. It needs to read the page, so it stays off until you enable it and grant access. • Scrambled (base64) addresses. Some providers encode the original rather than appending it. Those can only be decoded inside the page, so they work for links, and only with the option above enabled. • No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Unproxy collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere.
