Configure network-specific proxies

Hi all

I have a laptop that I use at work, over a wired LAN, and at hom, over Wifi.

At work, I require a proxy to access the net, but at home, no proxy.

Is there any way to configure either Firefox or Windows itself (using Windows 10), to use the proxy ONLY on the LAN connection, but not on the Wifi connection? Obviously setting the proxy in the normal way in Firefox doesn't do the job (without having to enable/disable everytime).

Thank you

Addons like FoxyProxy or AutoProxy provide more advanced settings than Firefox and Windows proxy panels.

Maybe you will find what you want among all these settings?
