Features & Capabilities

SOCKS5 Proxy Toggle adds a single button to your Firefox toolbar that instantly switches between a direct connection and a SOCKS5 proxy at localhost:1080.

Visual feedback: • Satellite dish icon – proxy is OFF (direct connection) • Rocket icon – proxy is ON (tunneled through your local proxy)

Important: This extension does not include a proxy or VPN. You must have your own SOCKS5 server running locally (SSH dynamic forwarding, Shadowsocks, V2Ray, Sing‑box, etc.).

Privacy: No telemetry, no analytics, no ads, no external network requests. The on/off state is stored in your browser’s local storage only.

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.
