The anonymoX Firefox extension makes it quick and simple to do just that. >
Here’s how it works and how you can set it up in a few easy steps.
What Is anonymoX?
anonymoX is a free proxy extension for Firefox that lets you:
- Access websites blocked in your region.
- Browse the internet anonymously by changing your IP address.
- Appear as if you’re surfing from another country.
It is very easy and simple to set up this free Firefox extension.
This free proxy server not only allowed you to access all those restricted websites in your country, it has many other benefits.
It changes your IP address, so you are are actually browsing the web, from another country anonymously.
How To Bypass Blocked Websites With Free anonymoX
Step 1: Install anonymoX
- Open Firefox.
- Go to the anonymoX page on the Mozilla Add-ons site.
- Click the “Add to Firefox” button.
- Once installed, you’ll see an X icon in the top-right corner of your Firefox window.
Step 2: Use anonymoX To Unblock Websites
- Open Firefox and click the X icon in the top-right corner of the address bar.
- A small menu will appear. If the page is not yet proxied, you’ll see “Non-proxied page” and a red circle with a white X.
- Make sure a webpage is open — for example, perform a quick search — so Firefox displays some results.
- Click the X icon again. The anonymoX menu now shows “Inactive” and a grey slider.
- Drag the grey slider to the right to activate it. The slider turns blue, and the status changes to “Active.”
- A small country flag will appear under the slider and inside the anonymoX cloud icon — that’s the country you’re now browsing from.
- To change your virtual location, click the small inverted triangle next to “connected via.”
- Choose a different country from the list of available servers, then close the box. The new country flag appears under “Active.”
Step 3: Visit Blocked Websites
Now that anonymoX is active, go to any website that was previously blocked — you should be able to access it right away.
If it still doesn’t load, switch to another country server for better results.
Tips For Better anonymoX Performance
- Deactivate when idle: Slide left to turn anonymoX off when not in use.
- Try different servers: Some locations may be faster than others.
- Reinstall if needed: If you encounter issues after an update, remove and reinstall the add-on through Firefox’s Extensions menu.
How To Remove anonymoX
- Go to Menu → Add-ons and Themes → Extensions.
- Locate anonymoX and click Remove to uninstall it.
Note For Free anonymoX Users
The free version comes with a daily data limit.
Once that limit is reached, the connection speed is reduced to about 400 Kbit/s for the rest of the day.
To save bandwidth, turn the extension off when you’re not actively using it.
