Some environments only allow sanctioned browsers to make outgoing connections (such as firefox, chrome, etc.) and in such cases, "wpm install <plugin_name>" will not work.

Could you provide a zip with a pre-built version of the Switcheroo plugin that can be unzipped into the Wox plugins folder?

you can set http proxy in wox or "internet options"

Yes, that is one option that may work but isn't necessarily easy if a user doesn't know the proxy host/port or if the proxy is requires Kerberos authentication (which I haven't tested directly but I suspect does not work).

I was able to get around my proxy restrictions by doing the following (with a sanctioned browser that is configured to use the proxy):

  1. Get http://api.getwox.com/plugin/search/switcheroo, extract plugin_file field
  2. append the contents of plugin_file field to http://api.getwox.com/media/ and get that .wox file
  3. Unzip .wox file into Wox plugins directory

This isn't necessarily easy either, but may be a useful option for those who can't use the built-in proxy option.
