Proxy Settings for a single website

As you want to set proxy for a single website, there is no point to mess with system proxy. And to change system proxy again and again will be a tedious job also. What you want could be achieved with Google Chrome very easily. I can recommend you an extension in chrome "Proxy SwitchySharp". It will enable you to switch between two or more proxy settings and direct connections with just one click.

Besides that it has many other advanced options to play with your proxies for example you can set switching rules, you can take backup of your settings etc.

How to install Proxy SwitchySharp in Google Chrome,

• open google-chrome



• Go to Settings >> Extensions (or just enter in address bar chrome://extensions/)




• click on "Get more extensions" (left-bottom)



• search for "Proxy SwitchySharp"

• click on + sign to add.

Some Clarifications

• It can be used independent of desktop environments like KDE, Gnome, Unity etc. As it uses its own proxy settings on browser, not your system proxy.


• It can use proxy configured by tor or any other sources.

What you need to do

• Create two profiles in Proxy SwitchySharp, say profile_1 and profile_2.


• profile_1 will have your default proxy or direct connection and profile_2 with tor generated proxy and respective port.


• When you are surfing sites without restriction use profile_1 and use profile_2 for restricted sites.

Hope this is what you asked.
