Features & Capabilities

Sometimes websites block access depending on your ip address geolocation. In this case having a proxy server to route your requests with different address is very helpful. However it is often tiring to switch proxy on and off every time a websites decides to deny your request. This extension automates that: it switches current tab to using a proxy if any of these conditions occur (customizable via addon preferences):

server returns a certain http response code
server returns a redirect response with location matching a certain regexp
timeout occurs

Source code is available by downloading xpi addon file and opening it as zip.

Is Auto Proxy Retry Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Auto Proxy Retry requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Auto Proxy Retry may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
