How to setup CactusVPN proxy in order to work with Firefox.

1. In Firefox browser go to “Options” (1).

   

2. Choose “Advanced” (2) and then “Network” tab (3). And then click on “Settings” (4) button from the “Connection” area.

   

3. You can configure proxy in two ways: Manual Proxy Configuration or using our Auto Proxy feature.

   Manual Proxy: With manual proxy your IP will change for all sites and services you access from your browser.
   Auto Proxy: With Auto Proxy your IP will change just for a list of websites so you can access and use them. For all other websites your IP will not change and you will have your own IP address.

   Choose below the way you prefer:

   • Manual Proxy
   • Auto Proxy

   Choose “Manual Proxy Configuration”.
   Fill in the HTTP Proxy (5) (or use IP address instead of hostname) and (6) the Port (3129 or 8080 or 81). You have to check the email you have received when you have created the CactusVPN account. You will find there the available servers.
   Press “OK” (7) on this window and on the next one.

   

   Choose “Automatic proxy configuration URL” (5). In the text field (6) paste this address: http://cactusvpn.com/auto-proxy and click the “OK” button (7).
