-<p>Note: SwitchProxy is no longer the recommended plugin

-<p>

-SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin that makes it easy for you to switch

-between using a proxy and connecting to websites directly.</p>

-

-<p>In this howto, you'll set up SwitchProxy to let you change

-between using Tor and a direct connection. We assume you already

-have Firefox installed and working.</p>

-

-<p>The screenshots here are oriented towards Windows users, but

-SwitchProxy works anywhere Firefox works. Hopefully everybody else can

-follow along just fine.</p>

-<h2><a class="anchor" href="#one">Step One: Download and Install SwitchProxy</a></h2>

-<br />

-

-<p>SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin, so you need to go through

-the process of installing a new plugin. First, go to the <a

-href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/125">

-SwitchProxy</a> web page.

-Turn on JavaScript for now and click "Install Now":</p>

-

-<img alt="switchproxy web page"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-webpage.jpg" />

-

-<p>It will pop up a window asking for permission to install the plugin.

-Click on the "Install Now" button:

-</p>

-

-<img alt="firefox plugin warning"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-starting.jpg" />

-

-<p>Once the installer is finished, you should close all of your Firefox

-windows and restart Firefox.</p>

-

-<img alt="firefox plugin finished"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-finished.jpg" />

-

-<hr />

-<a id="two"></a>

-<h2><a class="anchor" href="#two">Step Two: Configure SwitchProxy</a></h2>

-<br />

-

-<p>When you restart Firefox, you'll notice there's a new toolbar

-that lets you control your proxies. Now we're going to set up a proxy

-configuration for Tor. Click on "Add" in the new Proxy toolbar:</p>

-

-<img alt="new toolbar"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-toolbar.jpg" />

-

-<p>It will ask you to select a proxy type. Choose

-"Standard." (There's also an "anonymous" proxy type that

-uses an ad hoc set of anonymous proxies out there. You

-don't want this, because those other "anonymous" proxies <a

-href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ComparisonProxyAggregators">give

-you much weaker security than Tor</a>.)

-</p>

-

-<img alt="standard proxy"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxytype.jpg" />

-

-<p>Now it will show you the standard proxy config window for Firefox.

-Give this configuration a proxy label of "tor". Then fill in "localhost"

-and "8118" to point the top four protocols to Privoxy, as shown here. (Even

-though Privoxy doesn't support FTP and Gopher, <a

-href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">you

-should set them up anyway</a>.) You should also fill out the socks

-proxy entry to point directly to Tor ("localhost", "9050", and socks5)

-to cover protocols besides the first four. Then click "OK":</p>

-

-<img alt="proxy config"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxyconfig.jpg" />

-

-<p>Now you've created the "tor" proxy label, but you're not using it yet.

-Click on the pull-down list and select tor, as shown here:</p>

-

-<img alt="switch to tor"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-switch.jpg" />

-

-<p>Almost done. Click "Apply" to make your change take effect:</p>

-

-<img alt="apply"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-apply.jpg" />

-

-<p>Done! Firefox will reload your current page. In

-this example screenshot, it reloaded the page and <a

-href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#GoogleLanguage">happened

-to get a German exit node</a>:</p>

-

-<img alt="german google"

-src="../img/screenshot-switchproxy-german.jpg" />

-

-<hr />

-<a id="three"></a>

-<h2><a class="anchor" href="#three">Step Three: Check if it works</a></h2>

-<br />

-

-<p>Now Firefox is using Privoxy as an HTTP proxy, Privoxy is using Tor as

-a socks4a proxy, and Tor is making your connections to the Internet.</p>

-

-<p>In the above example, it was clear that it worked because the web

-page showed up in a different language. In other cases, though,

-you'll want to verify that your setup is working. Do

-<a href="<page docs/tor-doc-windows>#verify">step three</a>

-of the Windows Tor installation howto, or

-<a href="<page docs/tor-doc-osx>#verify">step three</a>

-of the OS X Tor installation howto.</p>

-

-<p>You should be aware of one anonymity gotcha: when you switch from

-using Tor to a direct connection (or vice versa), by default the page

-that's currently active will be reloaded through the new proxy setting.

-So make sure you're on a page that isn't sensitive, before switching.

-(You can also change this behavior in SwitchProxy's "Options |

-Preferences" menu.)</p>
