webext-foxyproxy for Debian
===========================

foxyproxy can be used with a different kinds of proxy,
but one of the simplest and most effective way is through SSH:

  * run 'ssh -TN -D 8080 ssh.example.org' in a terminal,
    where ssh.example.org is your remote host that you
    want to use as a proxy.

  * add a new proxy entry via the foxyproxy extension GUI:

    - Proxy Type: SOCKS5
    - Proxy IP address or DNS name: localhost
    - Port: 8080

  * depending on your use case, you also might want to consider:

    - enabling 'Do not use for localhost and intranet/private IP addresses'
    - configuring a specific URL pattern to be used by foxyproxy
