Is this extension capable of using the ssh of a virtual server as a proxy?
by Fi*****, 2024-12-07
I need sock5 proxies for my work and I'm happy to use this extension. But there are several feature requests if you don't mind:
1. SOCKS5 proxies can use login/password. I see no way to specify this.
2. Ability to store up to 5 proxies. And an easy way to switch between them. Because now I have to edit proxy IP manually each time I need to change it. That's not cool.
Still, thank you for this extension.
