This idea of selectively turning on your proxy for certain websites can save you a lot of time if you are manually turning your proxy on and off. You can set up FoxyProxy so that your proxy remains inactive until you go to the website that you are banned from.Īs soon as FoxyProxy recognizes the URL you have predefined, it automatically opens the website using a proxy and will keep it active until you leave the site. So as a simple example let’s say that you have been kicked out of a forum and want to be able to continue posting by running a proxy and changing your IP address. The main strength of FoxyProxy is that it allows you to set up pre-defined “rules” so that FoxyProxy can automatically switch between one or more proxy servers depending on which website you’re browsing.
I would like to introduce FoxyProxy which is a little bit different from the rest of the competition. There are many great proxy related add-ons for Firefox, but most of them are relatively similar.
