Different proxy depending on the network

Post by StuartR »

When I connect to my work network I have to configure FireFox to use the correct proxy server. If I leave it configured like this then it won't work when I am connected to my home network, so I have to keep visiting Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings

Since I regularly bring the VPN to work up and down (many times a day) this is a bit of a pain! Is there any simpler way to configure this?

Does the AutoProxy Proxy Manager add-on help? It's description says "AutoProxy automatically switches your network settings to match the network you are connected to".
Best wishes,

The proxy I have to configure when I connect to work is already an auto-proxy.

Is it possible to configure a local auto-proxy that points to a second auto-proxy on the network?
