pieterv24 / proxy-toggle Goto Github PK

Hello, I just want to report that, from what I have seen, this addon increase tragically the number of connection established with the proxy (namely McAfee Web Gateway with NTLM authentication) at the point that the normal network browsing sometimes becomes impossible and Tcpip event id 4227 is logged ( = saturation of the connection number and impossible to establish new connections).

I cannot provide further information about the proxy since I haven't got any administration rights. But executing the command (Powershell)

Get-NetTCPConnection | Group-Object -Property State, OwningProcess | Select -Property Count, Name, @{Name="ProcessName";Expression={(Get-Process -PID ($_.Name.Split(',')[-1].Trim(' '))).Name}}, Group | Sort Count -Descendin

when the addon is enabled I have sometimes dozens of connections established between Firefox and the proxy, while disabling it the connections are only a few.

Don't know if it is a local problem but I've thought that it was worth to mention this issue.

Thanks for your attention
