Proxy Tool Addon for Firefox and Chrome

@Portalweb This is actually a GREAT plugin, thanks for the awesome work. I'd like to add a suggestion based on what I use to do with my own tools when it comes to faking the user agent. A quick look at any webserver log reveals that common user agents are followed by a string like: ".NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30;" almost every time. It might probably be beneficial to add a few of these strings in the "randomizer" algorithm... Just sharing this idea to yield to a more realistic experience... Hope this helps and again, great JOB! :-)

I'm glad you like the user agent feature.

I agree with you that we need to expand the random string variables to the random data array. It means that this proxy tool will have at least 45-48M+ different user agents - which is fine with us. ;)

We are very close in finishing on the improvements to the awesome proxy tool FF plugin, which I think it will be ready by this Wednesday night ( New York time).

Until then, please stay tuned. :cool:
 
And eagerly waiting for the new version on the other coast time! lol
 
Hi all,

The Proxy Tool FF plugin is nearly finished. Unfortunately, it will not be ready until tomorrow night.

While we are tweaking/playing with it for several days, we realized that we need to add the fine detailed display recently, such as:

- Display country/city and proxy index number tooltip on every Shift+S (rotate proxy)
- Display country/city tooltip when mousing over 1-100 proxies on the proxy list (http(s), socks4 and socks5)
- Display "Site/Flash Cookies are cleared" message tooltip after Shift+C keyboard shortcut is used.

I am confident that the "final" version will be ready for release to public by tomorrow night.

Hang in there.
 
It's a great addon! The best i have tried so far!

Some minor thing i don't like. The tool is auto enabling in browser start. Can i change this?
 
Hi,
The proxy tool FF plugin should be ready by tonight after dealing with the locale (languages) and tiny details that need to be updated/corrected first. (it's called creeping features.)

Stay tuned...

You can disable it using the settings or change back to Default Mode.

You'll like the next revision.

Hang in there...
 
I checked it and actually it's not the addon issue. I installed the quick proxy and it do the same. When i open new window or restart the browser it's auto enabling. That's strange. Does anyone know what might be causing this? My firefox version is 3.5.15.

We do not have the issue here.

Meanwhile, we expect the proxy tool FF Plugin to be released to public by tonight (Sunday night). Sorry about the delays due to the mishaps ( locale/language revisions, etc.). Few beta testers who tested them are happy with the latest version.

We want to ensure that we want to "perfect" the proxy tool FF plugin to the best quality level, not "good enough" level. Also, we need to finish updating the help page too.

Until then, please stay tuned.
 
I'm interested in this tool and like it but the free proxies are really far too slow, can't get anything to load.

Are you paid proxy lists tested for speed?

Revised Question:
"Are the paid proxy lists tested for speed?"

Yes they should. It depends on many factors as described here:

1) The common problem is the slow loading web page when using the proxies. When it happens, you will need to use better DNS (such as Google public DNS) added to your computer network properties to speed up the proxies (see my recent post here)

2) You can paste the IP : Port from the paid proxy lists to the proxy tool textbox (see below)

Proxy IP : Port (by default, HTTP/HTTPS proxy type is selected).

You can find the paid proxy (even private proxies) providers sales thread here:

Hope it helps.

I saw the same error as yours a while ago. Yes, it's due to Firefox browser.

Here's the link for following the suggestions on getting your browser to download the proxy tool plugin:
