FoxyProxy is an advanced proxy management tool that completely replaces Firefox`s limited proxying capabilities. It offers more features than SwitchProxy, ProxyButton, QuickProxy, xyzproxy, ProxyTex, TorButton, etc.
FoxyProxy is a Firefox extension which automatically switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns.
Simply put, FoxyProxy automates the manual process of editing Firefox`s Connection Settings dialog..
FoxyProxy allows you to switch the proxy server based on the loading URL and the switching rules you define.
Animated icons show you when a proxy is in use. Advanced logging shows you which proxies were used and when.
QuickAdd makes it a snap to create new URL patterns on-the-fly. FoxyProxy is fully compatible with Portable Firefox, has better support for PAC files than Firefox itself, and is translated into more than 25 languages.
Note: The add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Here are some key features of "FoxyProxy":
· Animated statusbar/toolbar icons show you when a proxy is in use
· Define multiple proxies
· Define which proxy to use (or none!) for arbitrary URLs using wildcards, regular expressions, whitelists, blacklists, and other conveniences
· No more wondering whether a URL loaded through a proxy or not: FoxyProxy optionally logs all URLs, including which proxy was used (if any), which pattern was matched, timestamps, etc.
· Out-of-the-box support for Tor with the unique Tor Wizard - zero configuration!
· Temporarily or permanently dedicate all URLs to go through a particular proxy
· Temporarily or permanently disable use of a proxy
· Automatically add blocked sites to a proxy and have them reload through the proxy
· Optional status bar information about which proxy is currently in use
· Complete Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) support
· Download a link using one of your defined proxies with a simple right-click (coming soon)
· Unobtrusive presence, stable execution, premier support
· Optionally force Firefox to perform DNS lookups through a SOCKS4a/5 server. Note that Firefox without FoxyProxy always performs DNS lookups through a SOCKS5 server if you`ve defined one. Only with FoxyProxy can you instruct Firefox to not use defined SOCKS5 servers for DNS lookups.
