Why ProxyDeck?

When my job moved work resources behind a jump host, I needed a proxy extension for easier access—and I also didn't want to route my personal traffic through the corporate network. I tried half a dozen existing solutions, and they mostly fell into these categories:

• Too complex: The most popular extensions were overwhelming to configure. I could probably figure them out given enough time, but they weren't well-designed and some options didn't work as expected.
• Too simple: Many lacked the features I needed for proper traffic routing and management.
• Hosted solutions: The rest were VPN/proxy services that doesn't fit my needs.

What I wanted was straightforward:
- Easy to configure (yes, you need to know regex, but that's it)
- Easy identification through icon badges
- Easy verification of traffic routing with built-in monitoring

And thus ProxyDeck was born.

Key Features

Firefox Container-Based Routing

• Assign specific proxies to work, personal, banking, or custom containers
• Keep client environments isolated with dedicated proxy connections
• Maintain multiple authenticated sessions through different proxies
• Perfect separation of concerns for security and privacy

Smart Pattern-Based Routing

• Route development servers through corporate proxies
• Isolate sensitive traffic through secure connections
• Test applications across different network paths
• Combine with container routing for ultimate flexibility

Smart Badge System

• Tab-specific badges show which proxy is active on each tab
• Single-letter abbreviations identify proxies at a glance (e.g., "C" for Corporate, "V" for VPN)
• Color-coded badges match proxy priorities for instant recognition
• Badges update in real-time as you navigate between tabs

Real-Time Traffic Monitoring

• Monitor total upload/download traffic across all connections
• View per-proxy bandwidth consumption
• Identify which proxies are handling the most traffic
• Make informed decisions about proxy usage and performance

Multiple Proxy Management

• Support for SOCKS4, SOCKS5, and HTTP proxies
• Secure authentication with encrypted credential storage
• Visual priority system with color-coded proxy indicators
• Drag-and-drop priority reordering
• Enable/disable individual proxies without losing configurations

Intelligent Priority System

When multiple proxies match a URL pattern or container, ProxyDeck automatically selects the highest priority proxy. Easily adjust priorities to fine-tune your routing preferences and ensure critical connections always use the right proxy.

Professional User Interface

• Clean, modern design that adapts to light and dark themes
• Popup interface for quick proxy toggling and status checks
• Comprehensive options page with integrated container management
• Visual feedback showing which proxy is handling current tab traffic
