Firefox version 68.4.2. Standard addon .

I enter a proxy IP and port, set either "*" or "getfoxyproxy.org" pattern, open https://getfoxyproxy.org/geoip/ and it displays my real IP.

Please consider renaming black patterns and white patterns to something more inclusive and clearer. Besides that associating black with not passing and white with passing, is kind of offensive, I'd also think that the function of the two lists can be more clearly communicated when being renamed to e.g.

Proxy patterns and By pass patterns

Other projects have undergone similar changes. While a typical replacement seems to be blocklist / allowlist 'bypass' might be more suitable in the context of a proxy service(?) I'm not a native English speaker, maybe there is even a better term?

Currently, FoxyProxy add-on uses red striked out icon, when it's disabled (in Firefox toolbar). It would improve general appearance, if instead it would simply gray out the icon (like for example uBlock Origin does). It fits better with modern desktop design (like in KDE), where icons are often using neutral tones, and bright red usually indicates something that requires attention.

With last version if in a foxyproxy profile we define a proxy with authentication, it doesn't appear the pop-up window of "Authentication Required" then if you close the browser the pop-up windows appear.

The options "Use Enabled Proxies By Pattern and Priority" or "ignore patterns" don't exist for me.
This is how I think it is supposed to be:

And this is what I have:

I am using FoxyProxy Standard version 7.4.1 in Firefox 70.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.

Received via email:

Hello,

I mainly use v.4.6.5 in Palemoon and was surprised to see different regexps for "local IPs" in v, 7.4.1 for Firefox. Checking further, I come to the conclusion that they are wrong:

A pattern that only contains '[\w-]+' (words and a 'minus') for the hostname will not match a string like 127.0.0.1 - and the 'pattern test' clearly shows that! You must change the third pattern from

^https?://(?:[^:@/]+(?::[^@/]+)?@)?[\w-]+(?::\d+)?(?:/.*)?$

to

^(?:[^:@/]+(?::[^@/]+)?@)?(?:[\w-]+|127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)(?::\d+)?(?:/.*)?$

Further, in 4.x there was a pattern

^https?://185\.39\.10\..*$

that I miss in the local IP patterns of 7.4.1.

FYI I use it in Firefox under Linux.

Thank you for the huge effort you have put into this whole project!

Instead of only matching given patterns, FoxyProxy matches ALL URLs on first proxy option, on first pattern. Pattern itself does not contain any wildcards (basically, matches one hostname).

Issue Description:
If you launch browser by trying to click on link in any other application - the following link ignores foxyproxy settings completely (uses default internet connection). At minimum - it leads to leak of your real IP. At worst - to inability to open web page, if site has been banned by your ISP.
Luckily, following issue only appears to affect the direct url, you open - if you will try to get to any other link or just reload the same page - it will follow foxyproxy settings correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

• Setup foxyproxy to use some socks5 as your current proxy
• Exit all currently running firefox windows
• Re-open browser by following link from some messenger (or just type in terminal: firefox https://getfoxyproxy.org/geoip/)

Expected Behavior:
Connection to web page happens via proxy (geoip page will show ip of your current proxy)

Actual Behavior:
Browser ignores proxy and tries to load page directly (geoip page will show your actual ip)

Tested on:
Linux, Firefox 72.0.1, Foxy Proxy Standard 7.4.3

The problem exists even when foxyproxy is in default mode. This happened with today's update.

I had to disable the plugin in order to re-authenticate. After that I can connect to the site even after plugin enabling (probably until browser restart).

Please revert today's update.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm setting up FoxyProxy to work around some ISP limitation on certain domains, some are subsequent request by the webpage. Although I tried different settings and patterns, I couldn't get the sub request routing to work. Logs revealed that the target URL don't match any pattern I configured. I tried to use pattern tester to fix the problem but it shows some inconsistency. At the first try, it will return false but reloading it return true, no matter wildcard or regex.

However, filter set for the address bar URL works beautifully. I have no idea what went wrong.

It seems that v7.1 has not solved #32:

I tried loading the current git version but that seemed not to solve the issue either.

From an email sent to me:

When the extension is pinned to the overflow menu, the name of the Button is simply "Disabled" (or whatever mode it is in). This is confusing. Most other extensions seem to have settled on including the extension name, such as "uBlock Origin (disabled)".

From email to me:

Hi. FoxyProxy Firefox addon is a great tool and I've used it for months. Thanks for the great tool.

There is an inconvenient thing within the addon though, when I want to enable/disable proxy, I have to click on FoxyProxy addon icon, then wait for it to show dialog, and finally select proxy. I have only one proxy configured within FoxyProxy, so I hope I can have a "click to switch" feature, turn on/off proxy by simply clicking on the addon icon (without selecting proxy profile by using proxy config dialog box).

I hope my suggestion can be accepted, and thanks for reading!

Container support would allow using different proxy configurations depending on the container the domain has been visited in. (e.g. For domain example.com: use proxy A when visited in Work profile, use proxy B when visited in Personal, otherwise use proxy C).

I recently updated to 7.3, after being on 6+. I've noticed that v7 does not seem to put the name of the proxy currently used over the icon in the toolbar. I was using this to get a visual indicator of what proxy is used.

Is this expected behaviour, and if so, is there a way to turn it back on? If it is not expected, can we get a fix for that, please?

Dear: ericjung

One of my Crawler program, need often automatically to modify foxyproxy Settings, I don't know how to do it now.Of course the most simple way is to read the config file

Unfortunately, I can't find it. I need to change the user name and password of the proxy IP address port at any time. Can you tell me how to automatically handle these settings of FoxyProxy?

When you have a lot of proxies, currently you have to scroll down the list for it, and it's fairly frequent operation for a lot of users

Firefox 68.0.2 (Fedora 29)

The paterrn matching dose not work in any order of proxis.

My HTTP proxy requires authentication for some sites. Depending on the site, the CONNECT request to my HTTP proxy may respond with a HTTP 407 requesting either NTLM or Basic authentication.

HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required
Proxy-Authenticate: NTLM
Proxy-Authenticate: BASIC realm="Domain_Auth"

Under normal Firefox operations (no addon), I am prompted with a login prompt. A valid user and password is entered and the HTTP CONNECT proxy request is retried with authentication headers. The connection then successfully establishes and the page loads.

With the FoxyProxy addon enabled but unconfigured, the connection attempt hangs indefinitely and the page never loads.

Some other notes:

• FoxyProxy is configured to Turn Off (Use Firefox Settings).
• Firefox Proxy Settings are configured to Use System Settings.
• Following the packets in WireShark, I don't see any additional HTTP requests from Firefox after the 407 when FoxyProxy is enabled.
• FoxyProxy 7.4.3
• Firefox 72.0.2
• MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
• Maybe related to #30?

• Windows x32_64 10.0.20170.1000
• Mozilla Firefox 80.0a1 (2020-07-20) (64-bit)
• FoxyProxy Standard 7.5

If extensions.webextensions.remote option in firefox set to false (needs restart), foxyproxy standard options page does not opens from toolbar icon button.

Attempted to disable the Send DNS through SOCKS5 proxy option at GUI, no luck; when saved changes and re-opened the DNS was still there.

Re-importing all settings did not fixed the issue, neither deleting the extension and reinstalling it, and reimporting it.

Had to went all the way down to version 6.6.2 to import valid backup and be able to disable the DNS option for SOCK5 proxy.

Hello. I am using Shadowsocks + Cloak to hide my internet connection from censorship. I can use this with many programs fine, and I use FoxyProxy with firefox to route to this proxy locally. However, when my local proxy times out or I accidentally plug the internet off, Firefox does the following things:

1. Unresponsive to tab switches, JavaScript stops working
2. Hovering over works, but the mouse cursor doesn't change at all and scrolling is not possible
3. Firefox starts gaining memory at about 70MB/s

I usually leave my computer on when I go to work, and sometimes I come back to find that Firefox has taken up so much memory that it caused me to swap over 2GB, and eventually Firefox itself died. This only happens when FoxyProxy is enabled. How can I debug this issue?

FoxyProxy version: 7.4.3
Firefox version: 72.0.2, but this has been happening since at least Firefox 65.

Hi and thanks for the great work.

This is a very minor UI feature request:
In Firefox, when I select a proxy from the toolbar icon menu the menu stays open until I click elsewhere.

Is there a use case for leaving it open? I'd rather be able to click my choice and be done with it, as with any regular menu behavior.

Thanks once again

From an email sent to me:

When the extensions is installed in a new Firefox, there is seemingly no way to enable sync without adding a dummy rule. It would be preferable if I could ask it to import these rules without having to adding a meaningless rule first.

Indeed the "You do not have any proxy settings. Please click Add to start." covers the sync button

First, Great thanks for this very useful Extension.
I test this in the PC Firefox, it works fine. however, if install in the Android Firefox, sock5 proxy not work.(the browser progress bar stop at about 20%.)
I checked the code, and it seems that it's not necessary store the settings in the local and sync --- the two diff storage area, and I suspect that the stop is in the certain async-await code block.
If you agree, I will submit a pull request and only use local storage, (the only complex is, the "pattern" proxy match, because I don't have http/https proxy for testing...).
Any suggestion? And Thank you very much !

Firefox 77
FoxyProxy 7.4.3
Test site: https://www.dnsleaktest.com/
Using a SOCKS5 Proxy, DNS lookups go through this proxy.

I have the following wildcard rule in FoxyProxy
*.dnsleaktest.com

Step 1: Open DNS leak test site
Step 2: Start extended test

Expected result: Only DNS of my SOCKS Proxy is shown
Actual result: SOCKS proxy DNS and normal DNS is being shown

The only domains that are being hit are *.dnsleaktest.com domains so it shouldn't show my OS DNS? The log shows that all dnsleaktest.com domains are being pushed through the SOCKS5 Proxy.

It says PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

But if set to use proxy for all urls ignoring patterns then all works!

I have set up proxy a:

    "type": 3,
    "color": "#b5aacc",
    "title": "a",
    "active": true,
    "address": "localhost",
    "port": 1338,

      {

        "active": true
      }
    ],
    "blackPatterns": [],
    "pacURL": "",
    "index": 0

Alongside proxy b:

    "type": 1,
    "color": "#ccc977",
    "title": "a",
    "active": true,
    "address": "localhost.example.org",
    "port": 4444,
    "proxyDNS": false,
    "username": "",
    "password": "",

        "pattern": "*.mytld",
        "type": 1,
        "protocols": 1,
        "active": true
      }
    ],
    "blackPatterns": [],
    "pacURL": "",
    "index": 1

Expected behavior

Whenever proxy b matches, i would expect the address, localhost.example.org to match the rule in proxy a, resulting in the following traffic flow.

firefox --> localhost:1338 --> localhost.example.org:4444 --> destination

Actual behavior

Traffic flows like shown below (Wireshark).

firefox --> localhost:4444

Hi!

Edition: FoxyProxy Standard
Version: 7.4.2
Platform: Windows 10

I have opened an SSH tunnel to a server on port 10000 with Putty. I would like to access a remote website through the tunnel by IP address. Proxy configuration: SOCKS5 on localhost:10000.
Working scenario:

• Set to use proxy "for all URLs"
• Open website over HTTPS, for example: https://1.1.1.1/requested-path -> opened

Not working scenario:

• Create white pattern: 1.1.1.1 (pattern test passed, however it ignores paths)
• Set "Use Enabled Proxies By Patterns and Order"
• Open website over HTTPS, for example: https://1.1.1.1/requested-path -> unable to connect
• The proxy is working with other white patterns, like *.mydomain.com

Am I missing something or the pattern is wrong?

Hi,

I find proxy name and address widths are too small, I usually put provider name and proxy location as name. But since it's too small, I can't tell which proxy I'm gonna edit or delete.

With todays update FoxyProxy requests the "Access your data for all websites" permission. Please update the "About this extension" section on Firefox Add-ons (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-basic/) and describe why this (formerly not needed) permission is required now.

Hi,

• Do not use for localhost and intranet/private IP addresses

  Impossible to USE SOCKS 5 on internet and keep the local connection for localnetworlks (10.0.0.0/8)

Hello! First, I want to thank you for the great job building foxyproxy!
How the title says, I can't import any .xml file settings to FoxyProxy. I'm using Firefox 75 and FoxyProxy 7.4.3.
When I select the .xml file that I want to import, I receive this message: This will overwrite existing proxy settings. Are you sure?
I click in "Ok" and after that I just see a symbol of loading and nothing happens. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I tested in two different machines and the same problem occurs.
Thanks!

I add many Chinese website to black patterns, then i find i couldn't open google.com. Finally i found it does matter with the website name: le.com. A chinese webiste called 乐视, very famous. I don't know why, maybe it's a bug.

The wrong log

Correct log

If you have your Firefox set to save your session on shutdown, in certain cases when you reopen Firefox, the proxy will not be enabled immediately and your real IP will leak to the initial pages that open.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure "Restore previous session" is checked in Firefox options.
2. Have a proxy enable in FoxyProxy.
3. Open a page like https://www.whatsmyip.org/ in a new tab.
4. Clear the Firefox cache (Privacy & Security -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content) so this page will be rerequested on startup.
5. Navigate back to the tab in (3).
6. Exit Firefox.
7. Reopen Firefox.
8. Website should list real IP rather than Proxy IP.

Hello. I experienced the known issue of foxyproxy not working after upgrading Firefox to 71, I reinstalled the extension, and everything seemed to work perfectly again, but I notice that when I open a link on a private window, or I open a New Private Windows entirely, the extension is not there anymore. It completly dissapear from the address bar, and the connection is not redirected to my proxy anymore.

Hi, foxyproxy used to work with thunderbird, but since recently, the thunderbird are using the new framework(the Quantum engine) as the firefox. I would suggest foxyproxy can still support recent thunderbird. Thanks.

I have Foxyproxy configured to use a proxy that is listening on localhost. When the port is unreachable (proxy down), I was surprised to find that, after a short delay of a couple of seconds, it still retrieves the pages through the regular connection. This is potentially a privacy concern.

When instead, I use the Firefox settings to point at my localhost proxy, stop the proxy and try to retrieve a page, I do get a "Proxy unavailable" error message from Firefox. This would be the expected behaviour with Foxyproxy as well.

Can anyone confirm this?

It looks like bug, which blocked support PAC, WPAD etc, was fixed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443259

Hi! I am currently using the latest version of Firefox (75.0) on all my devices but the settings synchronization doesn't work unless you add at least one proxy to be able to toggle "Synchronize Settings" button on, because this button is missing. Without doing so the settings synchronization doesn't work and it is not obvious why.

I use FoxyProxy in Firefox with Tor as a SOCKS5 proxy to work around some blocked domains. I'm trying to add a new pattern to this proxy that already has about 140 patterns, but it doesn't save the newly added pattern. I thought I've reached the maximum number of allowed patterns, but then I tried removing a pattern, and it didn't save the removed pattern either. I removed and installed the add-on again, but the problem persisted.

Adding patterns to an empty proxy works fine and saves the changes. I tried exporting patterns and importing them back to a new proxy. The pop-up is shown that some number of patterns are imported. Then I press save, but come back to patterns that are not saved. They reset to their previous state.

Finally, I removed patterns until I had 89 whitelisted patterns, and everything started to work normally. So there is a maximum limit on the number of patterns now?

Is there any possibility to support GFWlist?

As the title says, the log file/list is ignoring the limit making my firefox freeze for about a minute when i navigate to the log page.

Has anyone else the same issue?

hello, foxyproxy does not work. I can't click "Add to start"

In the latest update of Foxy Proxy (v7.4.1), the title label over the extension is 3 characters instead of 4 characters. I usually tend to use the title label to define the port it is set to and due to most of my ports being in the same range 8100, 8110, 8120... etc. It is difficult to see what port the proxy is running on with multiple Firefox sessions open.

Screenshot:

Details:
Browser Version: Firefox Developer 72.0b2
Extension Version: FoxyProxy v7.4.1

Currently enabling sync means that enabling patterns or a particular proxy is synced to all devices in addition to syncing the proxy configurations.

It would be nice to have an option to sync only the proxy configurations but not what's enabled - I like having the same config on all devices, but NOT use a certain proxy on all other devices just because I enabled it on my laptop.

A button to copy between the synced and local set of proxies would be nice as well.
