The extension supports up to six customizable profiles, allowing for manual configuration of various proxy types, including HTTP, SSL, FTP, and SOCKS versions 4 and 5. The icon color changes based on the current proxy setting, providing a quick visual cue about the configuration status.
This extension includes several useful tools such as external IP location detection and IP leakage detection, enhancing user privacy and security.
