About FoxyProxy
FoxyProxy makes free proxy and VPN management tools, best known for its Firefox add-ons, which have been around since 2006. The extension lets you manage proxy servers from the browser and switch between them instead of changing system network settings.
The same company sells proxy and VPN servers in more than 67 countries, but the management tools work as standalone software. It suits developers, testers and anyone who routes browser traffic through different proxies.
