What is FoxyProxy?
FoxyProxy is a premier management extension designed to simplify how you use proxies in Chrome and Firefox. Unlike standard system settings that route your entire computer's traffic, FoxyProxy allows you to toggle residential proxy connections specifically for your browser. It offers advanced features like pattern matching, allowing you to route traffic through different IPs based on the specific website you are visiting – perfect for multitasking and QA testing.
Prerequisites for configuration
Before you start, ensure you have:
- FoxyProxy or FoxyProxy Basic extension installed
- A valid Decodo account
- Your proxy credentials (host, port, username, password)
Step-by-step FoxyProxy proxy setup
Step #1. Get your proxy credentials
- Log in to the Decodo Dashboard.
- Navigate to Residential and choose your authentication by selecting a user or via IP whitelisting.
- Select your target location (e.g. "Germany"), session type, and protocol.
- Copy the generated endpoints.
Step #2. Add proxy to extension
- Click the FoxyProxy icon in your browser toolbar.
- Select Options (or the gear icon).
- Click Proxies.
- Click the Add button (or "Add New Proxy").
Step #4. Activate and verify
- Click the FoxyProxy icon again.
- Select the profile you just created (e.g. "Decodo – Germany").
- Visit ip.decodo.com to confirm your browser is now routing through the new location.
Troubleshooting FoxyProxy connection issues
- Authentication popup keeps appearing?
FoxyProxy sometimes fails to pass credentials automatically on the first load. Re-enter your username and password directly into the browser popup and check Save credentials.
- Traffic not routing?
Ensure you definitively selected the proxy profile from the dropdown menu. If the icon is set to "Turn Off (Use Firefox/Chrome Settings)," the extension is inactive.
- Specific sites failing?
Check your Pattern Matching settings. If you have Use proxies based on their pre-defined patterns selected, ensure the website you are visiting is actually on the whitelist.
Why use Decodo proxies with FoxyProxy?
- Targeted browser isolation
Route only your browser traffic through Decodo while keeping your Spotify, Slack, and system apps on your local network. This ensures optimal bandwidth usage and privacy where you need it.
- Instant location switching
Set up multiple profiles (e.g. "Decodo US," "Decodo UK," "Decodo Japan"). Switch between them in two clicks to verify region-specific content or ad campaigns instantly.
- Rule-based routing
Use FoxyProxy's "Pattern Basic" mode to automatically route specific domains (e.g. google.com) through Decodo while keeping all other traffic direct. This creates an automated browsing workflow.

Frequently asked questions
Does FoxyProxy support rotating proxies?
FoxyProxy doesn't automatically rotate proxies – you'll need to manually switch between them or use external tools to manage rotation. If your proxy provider offers endpoint-based rotation (where each request gets a new IP), you can configure that single endpoint in FoxyProxy and let the provider handle the rotation on their end. For more control, consider using a script or proxy manager that rotates IPs and feeds them into FoxyProxy.
If you’re using Decodo proxies, you can point FoxyProxy to Decodo’s rotating endpoint on port 7000. With this setup, FoxyProxy always connects to the same endpoint, while Decodo automatically assigns a new IP for each request, eliminating the need for manual switching.
Can I bulk import proxies into FoxyProxy?
Yes, FoxyProxy supports bulk proxy imports. You can prepare your proxy list in a text file, then import it through the extension's settings. This saves time if you're managing multiple proxies and want to avoid adding them one by one.
Which protocol is better for FoxyProxy: HTTP or SOCKS5?
SOCKS5 is generally better. It handles more types of traffic (TCP and UDP), offers better performance, and works with a wider range of applications beyond just web browsing. HTTP proxies work fine for basic web scraping and browsing, but SOCKS5 gives you more flexibility and security for diverse use cases like mobile app testing or bypassing advanced anti-bot measures.
