anonymoX for Windows

Private browsing made simple with anonymoX

anonymoX is a Firefox extension that lets you browse with a different IP and location in a single click. It routes traffic through its own proxy servers so you can mask your public IP or appear to be browsing from another country. The basic service is free; if you want an experience without ads and with fewer restrictions, there is a paid Premium tier.

Key capabilities

• Switch to a different public IP address quickly by clicking the add-on icon.
• Choose from regional identities (for example, US, European, or Asian IPs) or let the extension pick a random one.
• Clear cookies when you leave a site or change identity to reduce tracking.
• View which identity and public IP are active in the browser’s add-on bar; click that display to make changes.
• Option to route traffic through Tor or back to anonymoX’s proxy.

Ease of use and configuration

anonymoX is designed for simplicity rather than deep customization. Installation is straightforward from the Firefox add-on store, and the interface exposes only the essential controls, so there’s little setup required. That minimalism makes it accessible for users who want quick anonymity without managing complex settings.

Speed and limitations

The add-on is generally responsive with many of its identities, but some locations can be noticeably slower than others — U.S. endpoints were observed to lag compared with nearby regional servers. Because configuration options are limited, power users who need fine-grained control over routing and encryption may find the tool too restrictive.

Best suited for

This extension is ideal for casual or occasional IP masking: quick location changes, bypassing light censorship, or hiding your public IP during short browsing sessions. If you want uninterrupted, ad-free use, consider upgrading to the Premium plan.
