FoxyProxy for Chrome simplifies configuring browsers to access proxy-servers, offering more features than other proxy-plugins. Proxy servers are specialized Internet servers built to relay IP traffic from one set of addresses to another, in order to make traffic from one address look like it is coming from another. Hi, I am the developer of FoxyProxy. Some users have requested that it work with PortableFirefox. I haven't used Portable Firefox yet, but I'd like to know what generally needs to be changed to make an extension work with PFF. FoxyProxy has a settings file which, by default, is created and stored in the user's profile (this can be changed, however). Open the FoxyProxy options window by going to, Tools > FoxyProxy > More > Options in the browser menu. In the FoxyProxy options window, you will see a Default proxy which is your direct internet connection. You can add your own custom proxy by clicking on the “Add New Proxy” button. Give your proxy a name by filling in the “Proxy Name” field.

Proxy Switchy! is pretty similar. Annoyingly, on Linux, it requires a Gnome or KDE environment.

Don't confuse it with Proxy Switchy!中文汉化版 (I haven't looked into it at all). Another option for Chinese speakers in Switch Proxy.

According to FoxyProxy's website, they do indeed have a version for Google Chrome. You can find the extension on the Google Chrome webstore.

Unfortunately, Proxy Switchy! is not open source:http://code.google.com/p/switchy/issues/detail?id=56

I found two other extensions, but they're not better:

  • Proxy Tool is also not open source
  • Switch Proxy only works on Windows

For people who use proxy servers to access a private network or the internet in general, FoxyProxy is an application that will help them correctly set their proxy settings. Indeed, the application features simple tools and menus that let you create proxies for your websites.

Once FoxyProxy has been setup, you should be able to define which websites should connect using the proxy connections and which one should not. Furthermore, it is possible to bypass websites that are registered in foreign countries which is quite convenient.
