- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13132104, 4 years agoI have been looking for something to easily switch between my local VPN/Proxy and the non-vpn forever. It was tedious going through the menu to turn it on and off for one or two sites.
And then I found this and it's awesome. Thank you - Rated 5 out of 5by Alex, 4 years agoWorks perfectly. The only think I need - better icon. I think there should be some color difference between states. Let's say, add green or red color to icon when proxy is enabled.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Manuel Maurer, 5 years agoSuper easy to use. However, it will only detect internal IPs or specific internal domains. Domains that are mapped to an internal IP via DNS are not detected. I've tested it with Line 103 of background.js changed to return(isLocalIPv4(host) || isLocalIPv4(dns.resolve(host))); and it seems to work (needs dns permissions though)

posted 4 years agoI'm not sure what the performance impact of that is, since that function is called for every request the browser makes. Not resolving DNS was a deliberate choice, and is why the option text mentions LAN IPs. It's fast (since we're just doing a simple pattern match) but imperfect.
It might be that it doesn't make much difference if the lookup is always cached internally by Firefox already, but the resolve documentation is a bit light on detail, so I don't know if we can rely on that or not. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16178132, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10203599, 5 years agoFoxyProxy kept failing to connect to my socks5 proxy after every update. This one just works.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13450520, 5 years agocan you add support for dark mode (auto switching if possible?), it's almost invisible under darkmode.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThis should already be supported, but it only works if the relevant setting is enabled (there are details in the addon description). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15311978, 5 years agoThanks Richard for explaining the new needs for the perms. Love this addon for use in my regular SSH tunneling.
If I could request, it'd be pretty cool if the button was instead a dropdown rather than a toggle, to select from a list of user-configured proxies.Developer response
posted 5 years agoI'd rather keep configuration as simple as possible, and my time to work on this is fairly limited, so I don't plan to add support for multiple proxies. Anyone is welcome to fork the code and do that though (I think the main nuisance would be overhauling the settings UI). - Rated 5 out of 5by p1973, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by 12042069, 5 years agoRichard, thanks for explaining why the add-on needs this new permission.
Also, fuck Firefox for not being able to replace the previous permission by another one that is at least as explicit as the previous one ? - Rated 5 out of 5by rozwell, 5 years agoWhy does new version wants to "Access your data for all websites"? This makes no sense, what is the purpose of this??
EDIT: ok, got it, thanks for the info! :)
