Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)

​

Three options

• Browser extension (recommended): per-tab proxy, easy switching
• System proxy: applies to all browser traffic
• Built-in (Firefox), Firefox has its own proxy independent of system

​

Browser extensions

Most browsers support proxy extensions that allow per-tab switching. Popular options include FoxyProxy, SwitchyOmega, and others available in your browser’s extension store. General setup:

1. Install your preferred proxy extension
2. Create new proxy profile or add proxy
3. Protocol: HTTP or SOCKS5
4. Host, port, username, password from your generator
5. Save and activate

Refer to your extension’s documentation for specific steps.

​

System proxy

​

macOS

System Preferences → Network → Advanced → Proxies → check HTTP/HTTPS, enter host:port and credentials. Apply.

​

Windows

Settings → Network → Proxy → manual setup → enter host:port. Credentials prompted on first connection.

​

Firefox built-in (doesn’t use system)

Settings → Network Settings → Manual proxy configuration. Enter HTTP or SOCKS host and port. Firefox prompts for credentials on first request.

​

Safari

Safari uses macOS system proxy settings. See macOS instructions above.

​

WebRTC leak prevention: important

WebRTC reveals your real IP even through a proxy.

• Chrome: install “WebRTC Leak Prevent” extension
• Firefox: about:config → media.peerconnection.enabled → false

Without this, your real IP shows on sites that use WebRTC for fingerprinting.

​

Common issues

Browser keeps asking for proxy password

Extension misconfigured, or credentials expired. Re-enter credentials and check Save option in the extension.

Sites detect my real IP

WebRTC leak. Enable WebRTC prevention in your browser or extension settings.

How do I switch proxies per tab?

Most proxy extensions support URL-matching rules or profile switching. Check your extension’s settings.

For multi-account workflows, see Anti-detect browsers instead.
