Proxy List for Firefox SwitchProxy Add-on

In a previous post, I have explained how to install and use SwitchProxy add-on to hide your IP. SwitchProxy allows you to easly switch between several proxy configurations. You can use this feature to browse anonymously. If you don’t have SwitchProxy installed you should first check the above mentioned post.

In order to hide your IP you need first to find some good anonymous proxies. There are a lot of sites, like samair.ru or proxy4free.com, that list tens of fresh proxies every day. Unfortunately, SwitchProxy is not able to import proxies directly from these sites, so you have to add them manually. Not very confortable!

Recently, I found a proxy list that can be used with SwitchProxy. A guy from a forum wrote a script which parses the Xroxy anonymous proxy list and returns them in format that can be imported by SwitchProxy add-on. The URL to this list is: http://www.shroomery.org/ythan/proxylist.php

Here is how to get this list imported by SwitchProxy:

1. Open Firefox. Go to Tools -> SwitchProxy -> Preferences
2. Press Manage Proxies
3. Press Add (add a new proxy configuration)
4. Choose Anonymous and click Next
5. Import the proxies from the provided URL (http://www.shroomery.org/ythan/proxylist.php). Here is how:

Switchproxy configuration

6. Save the configuration
7. When you want to browse anonymously you just have to go to Tools -> SwitchProxy and select the desired configuration (Xroxy in my case)

I hope this helps :) .

Do you know other proxy lists that can be used with SwitchProxy? Don’t hesitate to share them with us!

P.S. Are you looking for premium proxies? Here is what I recommend: Anonymous Proxies.

    I made a proxy site myself, I believe the right to privacy on the internet is important, new ruling about the police in britain being able to hack into people compmuters without warrant is crazy. Anyone remeber george orwells 1984?

    It doesn’t work for me. When I press the ‘load’ button it says that there aren’t any valid proxies. Is there an other link???
    Thanks.
