I've installed Switchy and found that I'm not able to make it using my SSH 
tunnel.
In IE settings it works if I put localhost:1080 into Socks field (only) on 
Internet 
Properties -> LAN Settings -> Proxy Settings, leaving 'use the same proxy for 
all 
protocols' unchecked.
It also affects Chrome in a right way - all the banned pages start displaying 
fine ;)
I wasn't able to achieve same result using Switchy - it never gets routed 
through 
tunnel, never opens a session - whatever config method I use. 
Any idea?

I second that SOCKS seems not to work as expected.
Only set SOCKS in proxy config and requests are not routed via it.

Try removing everything in the "No proxy for" field when setting up the profile.

Well. Are you mad? giving your SSH username+password to some binary blackbox 
without available source code... it can hurt as enough already...

Even when removed everything from "No proxy for" it didn't start working.
Still doesn't use the tunnel.

I too am seeing this issue.

Configured Switchy to use localhost:8092 and removed everything in "No proxy 
for".
This is on "Linux teknisk-dhcp181 2.6.35-14-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 6

Adding a feature that let a certain proxy rule test for the presence of a 
running program would probably be enough. Like being able to supply a command 
line to plink or similar.

SSH SOCKSv5 just works via normal SOCKS connections, so all you have to do is 
create your SSH connection and voila -- you can use switchy with it (by 
pointing to your local SOCKS tunnel port)

As long as you put your SSH Tunnel ONLY FOR SOCKS CONNECTIONS (blank for HTTP, 
HTTPS AND FTP) it works fine for me.

I'm getting 111 (net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED)

Worth mentioning that if I open IE/Chrome proxy settings, untick 'use automatic 
configuration script', check 'use a proxy server for you Lan', press 'advanced 
and fill the only row for Socks - that works perfect for me, browser starts 
using this proxy right away and all blocked resources become available.
So it's definitely Switchy's problem. Shame I can't spot what's wrong with it - 
it's not convenient to go that deep every time I need proxy switched.

I can't use the tunnel as well, when configured in Switchy!, but if I configure 
it manually on Chrome's preferences, it works just fine, so it's definitely 
Switchy that's missing someting.

Seems to still be an issue. I have to manually click the Switchy! icon and 
change the profile to use. Maybe pattern detection doesn't work with socks 5?
