Is there any way to easily change proxy in macOS without going to System preferences > Network > advanced > proxy > etc

I daily need to switch proxies in macOS and going every time to System Preferences > Network > advanced > proxies > enable HTTP proxy and secure web proxy, is really frustrating.

Is there any way or app that acts similar(on macos) to foxyproxy in browsers?

Thanks in advance

I think the most macOS way is to use Locations:

  1. Go to System Preferences > Network,
  2. Select "Location" dropdown menu,
  3. Select "Edit Locations",

  1. Choose Duplicate location and make a copy from your default Automatic:

Select a name corresponding to your Proxy name.

  1. Switch to new location and edit the proxy under Advanced

  1. Once all Locations are added, feel free to use them from 🍎 menu:
