NP vitalyb, I think I can live with this. For option #1 I would need to write a Windows Script to determine my IP address and depending upon the range keep the proxy enabled in the registry and then launch FARR. Am a lil lazy, but this should not be much effort, I'll do it sometime soon when I find time

But IMHO, two things need to be looked at
a. The plugin coders should catch their exceptions.
b. Maybe FARR should not crash on a plugin exception, instead it should notify the user and disable the plugin.
