Use HProxy with FoxyProxy.

Manage HProxy proxies in Chrome or Firefox with FoxyProxy, logins and all.

FoxyProxy is a browser extension that stores multiple proxies and switches between them, including the authenticated proxies the browsers' own dialogs handle poorly.

If you juggle several exits, a country here, a city there, an extension that holds them all and flips with one click beats editing settings each time.

Setting up HProxy in FoxyProxy

1.Install FoxyProxy in Chrome or Firefox and open Options.
2.Add a new proxy: host gate.hproxy.com, your port, type HTTP or SOCKS5.
3.Enter your username and password in the extension.
4.Pick the proxy from the toolbar to route the browser through it.

Worth knowing

FoxyProxy stores the login itself, which is why it succeeds where Chrome's native dialog stalls.

Frequently asked questions

Why use FoxyProxy instead of the browser's own settings?

Because it stores the username and password itself, which is why it succeeds where Chrome's native dialog stalls. It also applies only to the browser rather than the whole system, and it supports rules so different sites can take different proxies automatically.

Can FoxyProxy switch proxies automatically by URL?

Yes, and it is the main reason to prefer it over a single fixed setting. Patterns decide which proxy applies to which sites, so you can send one domain through a German exit and everything else direct, without touching the settings between visits.

Does FoxyProxy work with SOCKS5?

Yes, and the protocol is chosen per proxy entry. Pick the one your provider issued rather than assuming, since a SOCKS endpoint configured as HTTP fails in a way that looks like the proxy being unreachable.

Does FoxyProxy protect against DNS leaks?

Only where the underlying protocol and browser support remote resolution, and it is worth verifying rather than assuming. With SOCKS5 in Firefox, the proxy-DNS option still has to be enabled. Test with a leak checker while connected instead of trusting the setting.
