by Dat Guy, 6 years agoThis is BS!! TOTALLY USELESS!!! Not only it doesn't provide a proxy list to choose from, but it doesn't even allow you to import, if you have managed to snug one from somewhere, unless you.. pay?? Really? Who would do this and for what sake?! If one would have to pay at all, rather go for a 'vpn' add-on that's so much easier to use, especially on mobile device.

posted 6 years agoYou do not have to pay. You can get proxy servers from many free sources, but since they are free, they are not very reliable and they are generally very slow. I do not provide free proxy lists because they change all the time and their quality is poor.
You can buy proxy servers from many places, not just me, and use them with the FoxyProxy add-on. At the moment, import works with FoxyProxy servers and previous versions of FoxyProxy, but I am working with other proxy vendors to get them added to an import list. However, it requires their cooperation to get it right. Not all vendors respond to me.
Regarding VPN: all firefox add-ons that are called "VPN" use proxy servers behind the scenes. It is just a marketing choice to call it VPN instead of proxy.
Good luck!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Alt Grey, 2 months agoIt do not work on the browser start for the first moments. So, the browser loads previously opened tabs without using a proxy.

posted 4 days agoThat is how browsers work and it is out of the extension's hand. An extension only works after it is loaded by the browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14274837, 2 months agoSince I am unable to directly reply to other users' comments, I am commenting here instead.
Regarding the issue reported by some users that the extension cannot be used, it is suggested to try changing the value of the "network.proxy.type" setting in about:config. If the value is 0, you can try changing it to 1. If it is PAC, you can change it to 5. - Rated 1 out of 5by cxtbs, 2 months ago
