Getting Started with FoxyProxy and Evomi Proxies
Browser extensions can be incredibly useful, especially for tasks requiring a degree of automation. When your workflow involves proxies, an extension like FoxyProxy becomes a real asset. It helps automate switching proxy servers on and off, significantly smoothing out your online activities.
Whether your goal is web scraping, application testing, ad verification, or managing social media profiles, proxies are often a necessity. Pairing reliable proxies, like those from Evomi, with a capable browser extension for Chrome or Firefox ensures your operations run without unnecessary hiccups. We pride ourselves on providing ethically sourced proxies with transparent pricing and dedicated support, based right here in Switzerland.
This guide will walk you through what FoxyProxy is, how to configure it on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox using Evomi's proxy network, and touch on troubleshooting common snags.
What Is FoxyProxy?
FoxyProxy is a well-regarded browser extension designed to simplify the often-fiddly task of managing proxy settings. It allows you to override your browser's default proxy settings and effortlessly switch between different proxy configurations.
The extension supports various protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5. It capably routes your internet connection through one or more proxy servers and is compatible with Firefox, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave or Edge.
Let's look at some core features that contribute to FoxyProxy's popularity:
Straightforward Installation: FoxyProxy is simple to install and doesn't depend on external software. The setup is intuitive, letting you add and use proxy profiles quickly.
Convenient Proxy Management: Once installed, managing proxies via the FoxyProxy menu is just a few clicks away. You can add, modify, remove, or review proxies, and even import configurations.
Pattern-Based Rules: The extension allows you to define rules based on URL patterns (wildcards or regular expressions). This enables automatic proxy activation or deactivation for specific sites, streamlining tasks like accessing geo-specific content or bypassing proxies for internal resources.
Multiple Proxy Profiles: Similar to functionalities in anti-detect browsers, FoxyProxy lets you create and organize distinct profiles for different tasks or proxy types (e.g., one for residential, one for datacenter). Each profile holds unique settings, and switching is easy.
Import/Export Capabilities: Moving proxy configurations between browsers or machines can be tedious. FoxyProxy simplifies this by allowing easy import and export of your proxy settings.
Automatic Switching (Based on Patterns): You can configure FoxyProxy to automatically select a specific proxy based on the website URL you are visiting, making for a more seamless browsing experience without constant manual switching.
Setting Up FoxyProxy on Google Chrome with Evomi
Here’s a step-by-step guide to configuring FoxyProxy in Chrome using Evomi proxies:
1. Install the FoxyProxy Standard extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, click its icon (1) in your toolbar and select Options (2).
2. In the FoxyProxy options page, click the Add New Proxy button.
3. A configuration window will appear, prompting you for your proxy details.
4. You'll need your proxy credentials from Evomi. Let's say you're using our Residential Proxies (starting at just $0.49/GB). In your Evomi dashboard, you'd find the necessary details: hostname, port, username, and password. For example, for HTTP residential proxies, the hostname might be rp.evomi.com and the port 1000. You can configure location, rotation, and session type within the Evomi dashboard before retrieving these credentials.

5. Enter the retrieved details into the FoxyProxy configuration window: select the proxy type (e.g., HTTP), fill in the Host or IP Address (e.g., rp.evomi.com), the Port (e.g., 1000), and your Evomi Username and Password (9). Give your configuration a descriptive Title (10) (like "Evomi Residential - US") and optionally set a Proxy Color (11) for easy identification. Click Save (12).
6. FoxyProxy also supports importing multiple proxies at once. This is useful if you have a list formatted as host:port:username:password. You can find an import option typically labelled Import or similar within the FoxyProxy settings.

8. Paste the list into the FoxyProxy import dialog and proceed with the import.
9. After importing or adding manually, your configured proxies will appear in the list. You can edit them as needed. Remember to save any changes.
10. FoxyProxy allows setting up Patterns (previously sometimes referred to as Global Excludes). This feature lets you specify URLs that should *always* bypass the selected proxy or *always* use a specific proxy. Navigate to the Patterns tab or section (18), add your rules (e.g., a pattern for your company's internal website to bypass the proxy) (19), and click Save (20).
11. To activate a proxy, click the FoxyProxy icon (21) in your toolbar and select the desired configuration (22) from the list.
Setting Up FoxyProxy on Mozilla Firefox with Evomi
The process for Firefox is quite similar. Here’s how to set it up with Evomi proxies:
1. Install the FoxyProxy Standard add-on from the Firefox Add-ons site. Click its icon (1) and choose Options (2).
2. Click the Add button to create a new proxy configuration.
3. The configuration window will appear. Fill in the proxy details (5), give it a Title (6), and choose a Color (7).
4. Obtain your proxy credentials from your Evomi dashboard. This time, let's use an Evomi Mobile Proxy (starting from $2.2/GB) as an example. You'd find the hostname (e.g., mp.evomi.com), port (e.g., 3001 for HTTPS), username, and password. Configure specifics like rotation in the Evomi dashboard.
(Image placeholder - depicting finding Evomi mobile proxy credentials)
5. Enter the Evomi Mobile Proxy details into FoxyProxy: Hostname, Port, Username, and Password (11). Add a descriptive Title (12) like "Evomi Mobile - DE" and set the Color/Location (13). Click Save (14).
6. Like the Chrome version, Firefox's FoxyProxy supports importing proxy lists. Find the Import (15) option, choose to import from a file or clipboard (16), and provide your list.
7. Copy the formatted proxy list from your Evomi dashboard.
8. Paste the list into the import field (18) and click Import (19).
9. Your list of proxies will now be visible. You can select any proxy to edit its details if necessary.
10. To set up URL patterns or bypasses, navigate to the Patterns or equivalent section (20). Add the URLs or patterns you wish to exclude from proxy use (21) and click Save (22).
11. To use one of your configured proxies, click the FoxyProxy icon (23) and select the desired Evomi proxy profile (24).
12. To turn off FoxyProxy and revert to your direct connection, click the icon and select Turn Off (Use Firefox Settings) (25) or a similar option.
Advanced Capabilities of FoxyProxy
FoxyProxy offers several powerful features to refine your proxy usage. The URL Patterns feature is particularly useful. By setting up rules (using wildcards like * or more complex regular expressions), you can automatically direct traffic for certain domains through specific proxies, or bypass the proxy entirely for others.
Using patterns effectively helps conserve bandwidth, which is especially relevant when using metered plans like Evomi's per-GB options, ensuring you only route traffic through the proxy when absolutely necessary.The visual customization options (colors, icons) also aid in quickly identifying which proxy profile is currently active.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you're missing features like URL Patterns, ensure you've installed FoxyProxy Standard, not FoxyProxy Basic. Both versions are typically free, but Standard offers more advanced configuration options.
If a proxy isn't working as expected (e.g., you can't access specific content), first double-check that you entered the correct hostname, port, username, and password from your Evomi dashboard. Also, verify the proxy itself is active and functioning using a tool like Evomi's free Proxy Tester.
If you're trying to access geo-restricted content, confirm the proxy's IP address is actually located where you expect it to be. You can use a tool like Evomi's free IP Geolocation Checker to see the location associated with the proxy IP currently active in your browser.
Wrapping Up
Combining FoxyProxy's management capabilities with Evomi's reliable and ethically sourced proxy network offers a robust solution for managing your online identity and access needs. Whether you prefer Chrome, Firefox, or another Chromium browser, FoxyProxy simplifies switching between different proxy configurations with ease.
By following the setup steps outlined above, you can integrate Evomi's diverse proxy offerings (Residential, Datacenter, Mobile, Static ISP) into your FoxyProxy setup and streamline your workflow. Remember, Evomi provides comprehensive support and even offers free trials for most proxy types if you need assistance or want to test the waters.
