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 Tools > Preferences... > Advanced > Network > Proxy servers

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"

You can configure proxy server settings on a per site basis by editing override.ini file manually.

If you want to configure google.com with proxy 127.0.0.1:8080, close Opera, open override.ini file in any text editor from profile directory, add google.com below [Overrides] section & then add the following at the end of file.

[google.com]
Proxy|HTTP server=127.0.0.1:8080
Proxy|HTTPS server=127.0.0.1:8080
Proxy|FTP server=127.0.0.1:8080
