nergar (ID: 000000aa04f21994) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/22/2023 Sad to see FoxyProxy is now nothing but a scam. The site clearly states: "Change your IP address by selecting from a list of countries and flags. Integrates seamlessly with your FoxyProxy VPN/Proxy account, although an account is not necessary. The poor ratings on Google Play are primarily because users believe they must purchase a FoxyProxy account in order to use GeoShift." Which is a direct contradiction of the description of this extension. Pure trash
