    The names indicate:
    • Direct: Direct Internet connection
    • Manual: Proxy configuration entered in the browser manually
  • You can select a proxy configuration from the popup menu.
  • You can edit the proxy configurations with the menu Edit.

Editor for the proxy configuration

You can use the following keywords for the configuration:
  • http, ssl, ftp, gopher and socks
    Enter the proxy for any required protocol.
  • all
    The same proxy is used for all protocols.
  • noProxy
    For the given domains the proxy shall not be used.
  • url
    A script is used for the proxy configuration.

Every configuration has a definite name and starts with the bracket [ and ends with the bracket ].
This name is displayed in the popup menu.
The bracket [ and ] as well as every keyword must be in a new line.
According to the structure in the following example.

Example

[MM3-WebAssistant
  http=127.0.0.1:8080
  ssl =127.0.0.1:8080
  ftp =127.0.0.1:8080
  noProxy=127.0.0.1:8080
]
[localProxy
  all=192.168.0.1:8080
]
[provider
  http=HTTP-Proxy of you provider
]
[script
  url=Automatic proxy configuration URL
]

Shortcut

You can define short keys to switch between different proxy configurations.

Used keywords:

Note

Please, restart the program after the definition.
If it shouldn't work after this, the short key is already used by another function.

Example

[MM3-WebAssistant
  http=...

  modifiers=alt,control
  keycode=w
]


At the same time press the short key: <alt> <control> <w>
The proxy configuration MM3-WebAssistant is then used.

Automation of the proxy configuration

If you use different networks with your laptop computer, then the required configuration can be determined automatically. There are two possibilities for it.

IP-Address determines proxy configuration

The IP address used currently determines the matching proxy configuration from several deposited entries.

The respective IP address is the name of the proxy configuration. If you need an area of IP addresses, then you indicate only the constant part with that the IP address starts.

Example

You use two different proxy configurations.
  • For the IP address: 192.168.0.1
  • For the IP address area: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
Enter for this in the editor:
[192.168.0.1
  http=...
]
[10.
  http=...
]
import=IP

The entry import=IP activates this function so that at every restart of the Firefox the matching proxy configuration is used.
Alternative: Use the MM3ProxySwitch menu: Import IP

Import of the proxy configuration from the Internet Explorer

If your Internet Explorer is already configured automatically into dependence of your network environment, then you can use this configuration also in the Firefox.

This proxy configuration gets the name in the MM3ProxySwitch: IE

Enter for this in the editor:
import=IE

Now every restart of the Firefox imports the active proxy configuration of the Internet Explorer.
Alternative: Use the MM3ProxySwitch menu: Import IE

Note: This function is only available in the Firefox (version 1.5 and higher) for Windows.
