I installed the FoxyProxy add on because IP address was blocked on Craigslist but it's not working.

I use Craigslist a lot and several times have gotten this message (below), and have found that it's a common problem. After researching it have found that it's a common issue and seems most common solution is installing a proxy. I wanted a safe one that is compatible with Firefox, so installed the add on FoxyProxy, but still having the same issue. Thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated.

That's not what you need. You need a proxy web site that does this.

Have you tried to contact Craigslist support?

Yes I replied to the blocks email address in the error message, and sent an email to questions.craigslist.com, asking why and what can be done. I got no replies, but this morning was able to get on Craigslist again.
