Easy to use advanced Proxy Management tool for everyone
FoxyProxy is an open-source, advanced proxy management tool that completely replaces Chrome's limited proxying capabilities. No paid accounts are necessary; bring your own proxies or buy from any vendor. The original proxy tool, since 2006. FoxyProxy has been owned and developed consistently by the same team since 2006. It has never been sold and never will.
WHAT IS IT?
FoxyProxy is a Chrome and Firefox extension which switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers:
1. by point-and-click of colored icons
2. by URL (define URL patterns with wildcards or regular expressions)
3. by browser tab - set individual proxies per tab: assign up to 4 proxy servers for use on 4 different tabs.
FoxyProxy automates the manual process of editing your browser's proxy settings.
* Customize colors and country flags to make it easy to see which proxy is in use
* Proxy per tab, by URL, or by point-and-click of colored icons
* Import/Export all of your settings, or just URL patterns, to share with others (fixed in 8.0 and above)
* Select a proxy specifically to use in Incognito Mode
* Keyboard shortcuts
* Globally exclude any domain from proxying
* Create patterns with wildcards or regular expressions. A pattern tester is included.
* (optional) Automatically synchronize all of your proxy settings with your other Chrome instances when you use Sync.
* Turn WebRTC on/off to further limit discovery of your IP address
* Built-in predefined selections for tor, privoxy, and psiphon
* Extensive built-in help

PERMISSIONS
* downloads: Required to export the extension settings to a file. Users can import that file to other Chrome/Firefox instances, or share it with colleagues, in order to keep the same settings. It can also be backed up and used later.
* proxy: The core function of the extension is to allow users to set the proxy server used by the browser.
* storage: Required to store proxy server settings (hostname, port, username, and which proxy
server is enabled by the user).
* tabs: Required so that users can set separate proxies to use per tab. It is also needed for "QuickAdd" to quickly add a URL pattern that applies to the current/active tab. It is also used to open a URL to getfoxyproxy.org where there is online help.
webRequest: Required to authenticate with proxy servers via webRequest.onAuthRequired
webRequestAuthProvider: Required to authenticate with proxies servers via webRequest.onAuthRequired
* browsingData: Required so the extension can delete cookies, indexedDB, and localStorage when requested by the user on the Options page (Delete Browsing Data button)
privacy: Required so the extension can call browser.privacy.network.webRTCIPHandlingPolicy to turn on/off webRTC in Chrome (Limit WebRTC checkbox in Options page)
* host permission: Required to proxy all webRequests and provide proxy server authentication. <all_urls> is used because users may choose to load any/all URLs through proxy servers (chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired and chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener) . Required to proxy all webRequests and provide proxy server authentication. Also needed to get accounts details from FoxyProxy servers, if requested by the user with the Import FoxyProxy Account on the Import tab.
** No remote code is used in this extension. **
* Why is there a crypto javascript library in the extension?
This crypto library is needed to migrate encrypted settings from version 3.x to version 8.x. It is not used to encrypt anything; only to decrypt old data when upgrading from version 3.x -> 8.x.
Latest reviews
- (2023-11-03) Apmyp: Stopped work correctly. Always works using proxy even disabled. To disable proxy i need to turn off extension.
- (2023-09-07) Angelo Neacsu: I used it for years now, and it's very reliable
- (2023-08-25) Vladimir Shamrai (pixelqiwi alt): At some point stopped caring about what proxy I have chosen, always works with the one on top, even if I pick "Disabled" it still connects through the proxy. I have to disable the entire extension to disable my proxy now.
- (2023-08-08) Олег Бездомный: Добавление прокси работает отлично. Но фильтры сайтов не удалось настроить, расширение на фильтры не реагирует.
- (2023-08-08) Jon Trudel: I've been using it for Chrome for a while, but ran into a configuration issue, so I unintentionally deleted the extension. I reloaded it, and asked for a co-worker's proxy config. He sent it to me, and it's a json file, since he uses Firefox. His config was incompatible with the Chrome version. It was at that point that I realized the Chrome version is 3.071, and the latest version in FireFox is 7.5.1. Why the huge discrepancy? I am still disappointed, because the problem now is that I've recreated the proxies as I thought they were, but I can't get it to work. This, of course, is due to the 3.071 version does not save/backup the config! Quite disappointed, but I guess their audience uses other browsers than chrome. Time to reinvestigate the state of Firefox!
- (2023-08-03) 蔣博元(JeangBY): 要用foxy proxy的話建議去firefox上用。chrome上的功能很糟,按export沒反應,選了Disable FoxyProxy後有時proxy還是繼續開著。
- (2023-07-06) Zach: This plugin worked until recently. Now it does not switch between proxies, but sticks to my top proxy. When I select "disabled" it behaves as if it is still enabled.
- (2023-06-12) M M: Fishing , scum. Stole your data
- (2023-04-25) Dmitrii B: not working
- (2022-12-28) Raphael Galerme: J'avais besoin de mettre un proxy socks 5 sur localhost avec des tunnels ssh. J'ai tout tester pour mettre des exclusion avec la blacklist des urls pattern rien ne marche. Il ne prend pas en compte mes config, après 1h a tester j'ai essayé proxyOmega ca a marché direct
- (2022-11-15) Данила Володарский: Doesn't connect to password-protected SOCKS5 proxies, despite having the options to do so. Actually, does connect to the very same proxies when on Firefox!
- (2022-08-22) Hamid Hajiparvaneh: perfekt!
- (2022-04-10) Alex Z (GarageMAN): Am I the only one who can no longer use the plugin? It stopped working a few days ago. The issue has been resolved. I have another vpn plugin. Chrome used its settings for proxy. This interfered with FoxyProxy's work. Now everything is fine
- (2022-02-19) Kent Hulick: This is a powerful tool and great power comes with great complexity--it's not for the average user. But as someone who routinely tunnels multiple networks with ssh for remote support and who always tunnels my connections out of corporate environments, this tool allows those connections to just work without constant messing with proxy settings. It is a must have in my developers tool kit. If you're not of the mindset of a developer you will probably find this useless frustrating and give it one star.
- (2021-12-02) John Bauer (johnebgood): When this extension is enabled and I search for something on Google the browser sits and spins indefinitely. If I go to an incognito window without the extension or disable it and everything is fine. Fix. Your. Plugin.
- (2021-10-03) Дмитрий: После перезапуска Google Chrome теряет все настройки. В процессе работы не с первого раза перенаправляет, и приходиться повторно обновлять страницу. Задумка хорошая - реализация плохая. Учитывая насколько сильно распространён Google Chrome.
- (2021-09-11) Erik Gordon: It doesn't work in Chrome at all. Dead extension. Firefox version works, but not this one.
- (2021-05-26) Stephen Daniels: Works fairly well, however it is LONG overdue an update. C'mon, 6 years? The Import/Export doesn't work, and logging has never been enabled in the Chrome version.
- (2021-01-12) Сергій Бойко: Хороший додаток. Але є проблема - імпорт налаштувань не працює.
- (2020-12-04) Andrey “DronSF” Pominov: Использую для торрент сайтов. Удобно что по маске можно использовать, в остальных случаях загрузка без прокси. Но не работает экспорт настроек. не сохраняется файл. Браузер Яндекс 20.11
- (2020-11-08) yolemon: Doesn't work with SOCKS with authorization, just refuses to connect. The same Firefox extension works.
- (2020-10-04) Ashraful Shakil: Awesome. I mean can switch too different proxies easily. Great ext. Thanks developer.
- (2020-08-17) W: Cannot export to file, please fix
- (2020-03-25) SALAH DZ PRO: GOOOD
- (2019-11-13) k m: With the last version dating back to 2015 it would seem that dev of the extension is stalled, contrary to what is being offered in the Moz WX store for FX
- (2019-10-01) Dmitry Vladimirovich: С простыми прокси всё замечательно, но с логином и паролем не работает. В мозиле всё работает. Спасибо разработчикам, но прошу подружитесь с хромом.))
- (2019-07-09) weijie luan: 怎么加黑名单不管用呢
- (2019-05-31) Rafael Fernando Haindinger da Silva: Um dos melhor para utilização do proxy no browser
- (2019-02-13) Use this extension on firefox daily, but it does not work on chrome.
- (2018-12-10) Jacob Holmes: - "Proxies" list does not always show up (have to exit out and come back in) - Does **not** remember login / password credentials for each proxy. When Chrome is closed then re-opened, all login / password credentials will be blanked. - For me, I have had Foxy Proxy disable itself with NO input from me whatsoever on multiple occasions. (Foxy Proxy extension menu spontaneously goes to "Disable FoxyProxy" on its own!) That is ***HUGE***. USER BEWARE OF THIS!!! Running version FoxyProxy 4.6.5 on Firefox is rock solid. This in its current state is a complete disaster. I can't for the life of me understand why everyone wants to use Chrome.
- (2018-11-15) BANZAY: Список исключений не работает!!! Расширение явно не доделано, без этой функции ничем не лучше других расширений подобного типа!
- (2018-10-31) LL M: Perfect on Linux Chromiun 65. Im-Export via Storage Eplorer. Thanks
- (2018-09-25) Ray Tyler (Ray): The best for me, use it every day. I use it with ssh tunnels.
- (2018-09-02) Leilani Medina: IT DIDN'T WORK AT ALL!!!!
- (2018-07-30) Walter Pratt: Folks completely broken both import and export. Export is destroyed by google API change, which is not followed by developers. Import is seriously ducked up because it would not accept Firefox's config. Add here Google's ducking with user's profile with often and constant user data deletion, and voila: you have FoxyProxy isolated in vacuum of stupidity. I 'm not going to config this extension manually ever again. Either developers fix import/export, or GTFO.
- (2018-07-30) 谈笑: 挺好用用,不过比火狐上的版本的界面要丑一点
- (2018-06-27) marwan ahmed: رائع
- (2018-06-23) Роман: К сожалению, авторизацяи работает невнятно. При старте браузера если указано использовать прокси с авторизацией - все запросы улетают все равно без авторизации. Время от времени при старте браузера вылезает окно с запросом авторизации, но если в нем нажать "Отмена" все работает как ни в чем не бывало.
- (2018-06-20) Bryan Wyatt: Current version seems to just consume an entire CPU core and cause websites to completely stop loading randomly (working one minute, then stop) until the plugin is disabled. Even when no sites are using a proxy (using the default rule with direct access). Things were fine until a couple weeks ago.
- (2018-06-01) Abdulsattar Chaudhry: works fine for me
- (2018-05-25) Alessandro K.: Doen't working well.
- (2018-05-13) TeachMeFly07: Работает плохо, постоянно какие-то тормоза (приходиться выключать и включать расширение), но вот заменить просто нечем, функционал нужен очень, так что полезно, но придется страдать
- (2018-05-04) Mikhail Dymov: Не работает. Проверено в Chrome 66. При этом foxyproxy для мозиллы работает без проблем с тем же прокси сервером У меня прокси с авторизацией
- (2018-03-30) Milad Amirzadeh: Actually it's the best of its kind..
- (2018-03-18) B4SHAR 05: awosomeeeeeeeeeee
- (2018-03-06) Fraa mhde: روعة
- (2018-02-10) Антон Скориков: The best! And can be used instead HostAdmin and e.t.c
- (2018-01-28) Game Cheats & Exploits: it Helps Me Very Good!
- (2018-01-22) Billc Kindell: This is really GREAT.
