Fast proxy switching in Opera
Monday, 9. April 2007, 16:07:09
If you frequently switch proxy, it's annoying to change it every time in
If you don't know how to edit menu setup see this. Add the following below the line Item, 52216 = Enable proxy servers | Disable proxy servers under [Quick Preferences Menu] and change 127.0.0.1:5865 & 127.0.0.1:8080 with your proxy servers.
Item, "HTTP 127.0.0.1:5865" = Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=127.0.0.1:5865" Item, "HTTP 127.0.0.1:8080" = Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=127.0.0.1:8080"
You can switch proxy server quickly in Quick preferences (F12).

You can also use the following instead of above to set proxy server for http, https & ftp protocols but Opera won't respond for awhile when you switch proxy server.
Item, "HTTP,HTTPS,FTP 127.0.0.1:5865" = Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=127.0.0.1:5865" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTPS server=127.0.0.1:5865" & Set preference, "Proxy|FTP server=127.0.0.1:5865" Item, "HTTP,HTTPS,FTP 127.0.0.1:8080" = Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=127.0.0.1:8080" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTPS server=127.0.0.1:8080" & Set preference, "Proxy|FTP server=127.0.0.1:8080"

That works very good but there is some bug in it i think because when i use this two lines
http://cxg.de/?id=OVPqHJwNZxjegGT
and im hitting first the gateway proxy and then the debianS1 proxy he only changes the FTP proxy and leaves the HTTP and HTTPs settings.

Ive got ip tunneling and 3 ipv4 adresses on my nic and switch the outgoing adress using 3proxy wich is mapping a port to an outgoing address. It's been a hassle till now as i could only have one of them (enabled or disabled) without going the loong way in preferences every time. Now i can switch between any of the 3 ip's as well as TOR with just an F12 + click. You made my day.

Good information!
If you'd like to do the same, but with "Automatic Proxy Configuration", as required it some settings, then use this:
Item, "Proxy LRZ" = Set preference, "Proxy|Automatic Proxy Configuration URL=url.to.pac" & Set Preference, "Proxy|Use Automatic Proxy Configuration=1"

Great howto. Could I somehow put the proxy menu items down to the status bar? Like SwitchProxy tool in Firefox?

Hey, any reason that these options wouldn't work?
Item, "No Proxy" = Set preference, "Proxy|Automatic Proxy Configuration URL=" & Set Preference, "Proxy|Use Automatic Proxy Configuration=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTP=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTPS server=" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTPS=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|FTP server=" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE FTP=0"
Item, "Automatic Proxy" = Set preference, "Proxy|Automatic Proxy Configuration URL=autoproxy.example.com/proxy" & Set Preference, "Proxy|Use Automatic Proxy Configuration=1" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTP=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTPS server=" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTPS=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|FTP server=" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE FTP=0"
Item, "Hardcoded Proxy 1" = Set preference, "Proxy|Automatic Proxy Configuration URL=" & Set Preference, "Proxy|Use Automatic Proxy Configuration=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=hardcode1.example.com:80" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTP=1" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTPS server=hardcode1.example.com:80" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTPS=1" & Set preference, "Proxy|FTP server=hardcode1.example.com:80" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE FTP=1"
Item, "Hardcoded Proxy 2" = Set preference, "Proxy|Automatic Proxy Configuration URL=" & Set Preference, "Proxy|Use Automatic Proxy Configuration=0" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTP server=hardcode2.example.com:80" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTP=1" & Set preference, "Proxy|HTTPS server=hardcode2.example.com:80" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE HTTPS=1" & Set preference, "Proxy|FTP server=hardcode2.example.com:80" & Set preference, "Proxy|USE FTP=1"
(wow! super large post -- sorry)
I mean, sometimes they do, I can tell because of the momentary 'pause'.
Sometimes they will work, sometimes they wouln't.

Thank you. For unix users, the menu file is ~/.opera/menu/standard_menu_1.ini
Unfortunately, socks proxies are not supported, and the chosen proxy is not marked in the list. We're far from firefox + foxyproxy but it's a nice workaround.
