2024-12-07 Firefox user 13448238 Is this extension capable of using the ssh of a virtual server as a proxy?
2024-11-19 Vasya I need sock5 proxies for my work and I'm happy to use this extension. But there are several feature requests if you don't mind: 1. SOCKS5 proxies can use login/password. I see no way to specify this. 2. Ability to store up to 5 proxies. And an easy way to switch between them. Because now I have to edit proxy IP manually each time I need to change it. That's not cool. Still, thank you for this extension.
2024-10-26 baller It works with Orbot. That's what I need.
2022-03-05 Korwin К сожалению, дополнение не позволяет указать в настройках каждого из сохраненных SOCKS v5-прокси соответствующие им логин и пароль. Да и прокси позволяет прописать лишь один.

2020-12-24 blaird Simple and straight forward works like a charm for a quick "oh man" and way easier than bouncing through the settings every time to proxy something for 5 seconds. How I never found this sooner is beyond me NOTE: I probably changed over firefox revisions, but you *MUST* give it private browsing permissions or it will silently just not enable.
2020-10-10 Alex I my case it was impossible to turn off proxy by clicking on socks icons. The sock turns grey from green, but proxy remains active. Firefox 81.0 (64-bit) Linux Mint
2020-05-12 Kjetil Torgrim Homme KISS! perfect little plugin for me since I only occasionally have an SSH SOCKS proxy running.
