FoxyProxy

FoxyProxy is a Chrome et Firfox plugin that helps you to forward HTTP connection from a computer to another.

1. In Firefox or Chrome, install the FoxyProxy extension (here for Firefox and here for Chrome)

   Warning

   We show here an example on Firefox for the Jean Zay Jupyter Lab/Notebook, but it is the same principle for Chrome. For other place of connection, change the parameters with those indicating in the following tables.

2. Click on the extension's icon then Options

3. Click on Add

4. Define, depending on where you want to connect:

   	Title or Description	Proxy Type	Proxy IP address or DNS name	Port
   loholt2 Jupyter Lab	loholt2	SOCKS5	localhost	1080
   Jean Zay Jupyter Lab/Notebook	jean_zay	SOCKS5	localhost	9999

   Warning

   You can use the port number you want between 1024 and 65535 (both included), as long as you keep the same number in the potential following commands (e.g. create a SOCKS proxy server with SSH).

   Example for Jean Zay Jupyter Lab/Notebook:

   

5. Click on Save & Edit Patterns

6. Define in the White Patterns section, depending on where you want to connect:

   	Name	Pattern	Type	HTTP/s	Enabled
   loholt2 Jupyter Lab	jupyter_loholt2	(http(s)?:\/\/)?.*\.ipsl\.fr\/.*	Reg Exp	all	On
   Jean Zay Jupyter Lab/Notebook	jupyter_jean_zay	jupyterhub\.idris\.fr	Wildcard	https	On

   Info

   Configuring these white patterns will allow the use of this proxy only for URLs matching the given pattern (see more information here).

   Example for Jean Zay Jupyter Lab/Notebook:

   

7. Click on Save

8. In the web browser where you installed FoxyProxy, click on the FoxyProxy icon and choose Use Enabled Proxies By Patterns and Orders

   

   Info

   When the FoxyProxy browser extension is set to Use Enabled Proxies By Patterns and Orders, each configured proxy will be used for URLs that match their configured patterns (see more information here).

   Info

   You can turn off FoxyProxy whenever you wish to by clicking on the FoxyProxy icon and choose Turn Off.
