AutoProxy

As mentioned in last post, though I'm not going to port AutoProxy to Google Chrome, some achievements of AutoProxy such as gfwList can be reused by other projects.

I'd like to introduce how to use AutoProxy gfwList PAC under Chrome + Switchy. This introduction is for Windows XP users, Windows Vista & Windows 7 should be more or less the same. It seems Switchy doesn't work properly for non-Windows systems.

1. I suppose you have installed the latest Chrome beta and Switchy.

Many users asked me to port AutoProxy to Google Chrome, I really appreciate that you like AutoProxy. However, I apologize, AutoProxy will stick to Firefox (at least in recent months).

Here is why:

Partly because Chrome is not prepared:

• Chrome doesn't have proxy policy of it's own, lack of fundamental function, thus it's hard or even impossible to implement some features AutoProxy did & will do for Firefox.

Hi community,

I keep in mind that our official website should be as free as possible, for example people can leave comments anonymously.

However, this feature became the cat's paw of spam, there are over 50,000 spams arrived in about two weeks.

To deal with this problem, I have:

   * deleted all spams: I'm sorry if I deleted your comments by mistake.

   * enabled an anti-spam module: may ask you to type a captcha, sorry for inconvenient.

The support for old version (0.2.x) of AutoProxy has been dropped. Everybody please upgrade to the latest version.

Please help to spread this change, please encourage all your friends to upgrade. There are still a lot of people using the old version of AutoProxy which is no longer supported.

Important to gfwList subscribers: gfwList is optimized for the latest AutoProxy, you may have kinds of strange problems if you keep using old version.

Everybody can contribute to gfwList. gfwList subscribers are welcomed to click tr.im/gfwList to submit your AutoProxy rules to help gfwList become better. :-)

@AutoProxy is now on Twitter.

You are welcome to follow to keep up-to-date & ask questions. :-)

Beta4 is the first 0.3 version which has been updated to AMO.

This version is released with the hope that all users of 0.2.x will upgrade. It'll be much easier to maintain gfwList if all users are using the latest AutoProxy.

Please get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/11009/

Beta3 fixed crash bug of beta2 and temporarily disabled the "hit count" feature, more details as in beta2.
