Free VPN Proxy is a handy add-on that let you easily mask your real internet protocol (IP) address.
Simply click on the start button at the top left corner (big blue button). The addon will look for a free proxy (socks5 ip & port combination) via a free JavaScript API call. Currently it uses "getproxylist", "gimmeproxy" and "pubproxy" APIs. Once a free proxy is returned it checks whether the new proxy is working or not. If the new socks5 proxy is working properly, it applies it to the browser proxy setting.
You can now browser under this socks5 proxy and mask your real ip address. Please note that, the API for searching proxies is free but only releases 20 results per day. Once the limit is over, the addon will only uses the proxies from its memory (previously saved ip and ports). In order to turn off the addon, please click on the top right button in the toolbar popup UI (grey icon).
Note: Free VPN Proxy add-on does NOT store your IP address or any other information in any remote location. However, third-party services (such as getproxylist, gimmeproxy, amazonaws, and ipleak) have their own policy and rules for storing IP addresses.
If you have a feature request, or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form in the addon's
