I saw a few VPN extensions on Mozilla’s addon store but they require full access and is closed source . Foxy proxy seems open source and doesn’t seem to be collecting any data for themselves and I’m hopping that combined with https sites only give the proxies which sites im visiting even if they wanted to sell me out CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG THO . and i don’t trust my isp much so it doesn’t matter to me if they are selling that only but those vpn extensions will have acess to everything on every site . so yea feel free to correct me on anything and reccomend any .
yes i have fennec fdroid which gives me acess to about:config . Have you got any guides with the process to set up a proxy through there ? Will this let the proxy server know everything that you do or is https still honored ?
Your proxy settings will depend on your provider but if you search for
network.proxyyou’ll see all the setting you need in there. You’ll connect either through http (ip+port) or socks. Socks adds an additional layer of authentication which is generally preferred but likely won’t be offered by free options.Yes, your proxy service will absolutely see what sites you are visiting. None of these suggestions will protect you from a malicious proxy service. Https is still honored assuming the end point is using a valid cert and your proxy has not tampered with it in any way. If the cert gets altered you’ll get a warning from your browser, you then have to trust yourself to know when to back out.
