Gemini local proxy says invalid token cc-switch

Quick fix

Move the Gemini provider channel from codex back to gemini. With the local proxy enabled, this avoids wrong routing and invalid token errors.

Symptom

Section titled “Symptom”
Error output
gemini开启本地代理后对话说无效令牌
English translation

After enabling the local proxy, Gemini chat reports invalid token.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

The root cause is not Gemini validating the proxy. It is a cc-switch routing group error: the Gemini provider (ID: xx-5d21-4e8d-xx-xx) distributor was configured under the codex group instead of the gemini group. With the local proxy enabled, Gemini model requests were sent to the codex group, so the token appeared invalid after the wrong path. With the proxy disabled, requests did not use that wrong route and worked normally.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Open cc-switch and go to the Gemini provider channel/distributor configuration.

  2. Move that Gemini provider distributor from the codex group to the gemini group, then save the configuration.

  3. Re-inject routing, enable the local proxy, and run the Gemini CLI test. If it still shows invalid token, verify the third-party relay forwarding path, such as newapi.

FAQ

Section titled “FAQ”
If enabling the local proxy reports invalid token but disabling it works, must the proxy be disabled?
No. Disabling the proxy only bypasses the wrong route. The root cause is that the channel is in the codex group; move it back to the gemini group.
Was the token modified while passing through the proxy to upstream?
Some users suspected this, but analysis shows the core issue is that cc-switch routes Gemini requests to the codex group, not token modification.
