FoxyProxy Standard for Mac

Streamlined proxy management for macOS

FoxyProxy is a free browser add-on built for Mac users that makes handling proxy settings straightforward. It helps you flip between different proxy profiles quickly and gives you finer control over how your browser connects to the internet.

What it offers

• Automatic switching of proxies based on URL patterns, so the right proxy is applied without manual intervention.
• Support for multiple proxy entries, letting you save and reuse several configurations.
• An approachable interface that keeps setup and day-to-day use simple for non-technical users.
• Quick toggles to change active proxy profiles, ideal when you need to move between networks or privacy modes.
• Useful for maintaining anonymity online or accessing sites and services restricted by geography.

Who should use it

FoxyProxy is particularly handy for people who routinely adjust their network settings — for example, developers testing geo-specific content, privacy-conscious users, or anyone who needs an easy way to reach blocked resources. It avoids deep system-level changes, so you don’t need advanced networking knowledge to benefit from it.
