Can I use manual socks proxy for only specific sites?

Question

I am using socks proxy with chrome. With dconf editor, I can add ignore-host so that browser connect this hosts without proxy. Now I want to do opposite of this. I mean I want to specify hosts so that browser connect only these hosts by proxy. Is it possible?

Solution

If you are using Firefox or Google Chrome or Chromium browser, you could use FoxyProxy (free as of 26-Oct-2015) to use a manually configured proxy for specific URLs.

To configure which sites you want to access using the proxy, click on the FoxyProxy Standard icon besides the address bar, click on "Add New Proxy" and then configure your host, port no, username and password and configure the URLs in the "URL Patters".

Refer the quickstart page for FoxyProxy for more.

P.S.: This has been tested to work on Firefox 29(which has the enhanced UI)!
