FoxyProxy is a browser extension for Firefox and Chrome that stores multiple proxy profiles and switches your KnoxProxy connection on with a single click.
Add the foxyproxy chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store, or the Firefox version from addons.mozilla.org. Both share the same options screen.
Click the FoxyProxy icon in your toolbar, then choose Options to reach the profile editor.
Click Add in the options screen to create a fresh profile entry for your KnoxProxy connection.
Fill in the hostname, port, and your KnoxProxy username and password, then give the profile a name you will recognize later.
Title: KnoxProxy Residential
Type: HTTP
Hostname: gw.knoxproxy.com
Port: 7000
Username: your_username
Password: your_passwordClick Save. The new connection appears in your FoxyProxy proxy list, ready to activate.
Click the FoxyProxy icon and select your KnoxProxy profile from the list to route traffic through it.
Repeat the profile steps for each KnoxProxy country you need, changing only the username suffix per profile.
Profile "US": username = your_username-country-us
Profile "DE": username = your_username-country-de
Profile "JP": username = your_username-country-jpVisit httpbin.org/ip to confirm the returned address matches your KnoxProxy exit IP before relying on the setup.

}FoxyProxy holds one proxy per profile, so switching KnoxProxy country or session means switching profiles. Create a profile per country (see foxyproxy_countries.json) and either click between them manually or let a pattern rule switch automatically by domain.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Proxy not connecting | Verify gw.knoxproxy.com:7000 in the profile's connection fields. |
| Auth prompt on every page | Re-enter your KnoxProxy username and password in FoxyProxy options. |
| FoxyProxy icon not visible in the toolbar | Pin FoxyProxy from the extensions menu so the icon stays visible and one click away. |
| Profile saved but traffic bypasses the proxy | Click the FoxyProxy icon and select the profile by name; a saved profile does nothing until it is active. |
| Pattern rule does not switch automatically | Re-check the pattern under Patterns and test it against the exact URL shown in the browser bar. |
| 407 Proxy Authentication Required | Confirm the exact KnoxProxy username and password from the dashboard and remove any stray -session- tag. |
USER-country-de-city-berlin-session-profile07Order matters -- geo flags before the session flag. The session name is free text; use the profile ID so the mapping is self-documenting. Password stays as issued; no flags belong there. HTTP on :7000, SOCKS5 on :7001, same credentials.
FoxyProxy keeps setup simple: add one KnoxProxy profile with hostname, port, username, and password, then switch it on with a single click. SwitchyOmega adds rule-based auto-switching on top of that same basic setup. Both authenticate against KnoxProxy the same way, so pick based on how much automation you need.
Yes. FoxyProxy is available as an add-on for both Firefox and Chrome, and setup is the same on either browser. Install it, add a KnoxProxy profile with hostname gw.knoxproxy.com and port 7000, save it, then click the toolbar icon to activate the profile before testing your exit IP.
Yes. FoxyProxy supports URL pattern matching, so specific sites route through a saved KnoxProxy profile without clicking the toolbar icon each time. Define a wildcard pattern under Patterns in the options screen, and the foxyproxy extension switches to that KnoxProxy connection automatically whenever a tab loads a matching URL.
FoxyProxy Basic is free and covers everything needed to add a KnoxProxy profile: hostname, port, username, and password, plus one-click activation. FoxyProxy Standard is a paid tier with extra features layered on that same core proxy switching. Either version authenticates against KnoxProxy identically, so the free edition suits most setups.
FoxyProxy is one word and the official extension name, though many people search it as two words, foxy proxy, or misspell it as foxproxy or froxyproxy. All four point to the same tool: install the real FoxyProxy add-on from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons to avoid a lookalike extension.
Open the Chrome Web Store, search for FoxyProxy, and click Add to Chrome. Once installed, click the FoxyProxy icon, choose Options, and add a new profile with your KnoxProxy hostname, port, username, and password. The foxyproxy chrome extension works the same way in Edge and other Chromium browsers.
Not on its own. FoxyProxy switches between saved profiles, either manually or through pattern rules, but each profile still holds one fixed KnoxProxy exit IP at a time. To rotate IPs automatically within a single profile, use a KnoxProxy rotating username instead of switching profiles by hand.
