twlight_vagrant FoxyProxy Standard Configuration

Using FoxyProxy to automatically proxy only vagrant URLs:

You may use the FoxyProxy Standard for Firefox and Chrome to proxy only matched URL patterns. This removes the hassle of having to regularly enable/disable a proxy.

A note on FoxyProxy Standard for Chrome

The Chrome version is more fiddly to setup, as you must set a shortcut to include the --host-resolver-rules flag due to the way the browser handles DNS. On Windows, the Start Menu shortcut for Chrome is located in the following location:

%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Update the Target (note that this is 32-bit Chrome) from:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

to:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --host-resolver-rules

Unpin and repin and start menu and taskbar shortcuts to Chrome afterwards.
