Installing FoxyProxy

Before diving into the installation of FoxyProxy, we should define what a proxy server is and why we would want to use one. A proxy server is a system that translates traffic from one network or device into another device or network. This is easier said than done, though: what does this mean for us and why would we care about translating traffic? A proxy server allows us to intercept all communication originating from and designated to our attacking host. This allows us to augment and change the behavior of how the request interacts with the server, such as by dropping JavaScript UI filtering and other interesting tasks. So, now that we know what a proxy server is, what is FoxyProxy? FoxyProxy is a simple but powerful proxy switch. It takes all the tediousness out of having to change the internal proxy settings of your browser. Simply add your new setting and use a switch to toggle between proxy servers and turn them on and off.
