FoxyProxy
Learn how to configure the FoxyProxy browser extension with Oxylabs Datacenter Proxies — simple setup for Chrome & Firefox.
FoxyProxy is a third-party extension that enables configuring proxies directly for Chrome, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers. Follow the guides below to configure FoxyProxy with Oxylabs Datacenter Proxies.
Set up FoxyProxy on Google Chrome
Add Datacenter Proxies
In the Proxies tab, click the Add button located on the left to open proxy settings. Then, fill in your Datacenter Proxies configuration:
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Hostname: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
Username: user-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Make sure to add the user- part to your username.
Pay-per-IP subscription
The port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the proxy list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. You may also enable proxy IP rotation by setting the port to 8000. For more details, see our documentation.
Pay-per-traffic subscription
Port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. Alternatively, you can rotate proxy IPs with each request by using port 8000.
You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy account to user-USERNAME-country-US. See our documentation for more details.
After that, click Save to save your proxy settings.
Activate proxies
To activate a proxy server, click on the FoxyProxy extension icon and then click again on your proxy profile from the drop-down menu.
That’s it! To test if everything is working properly, you can check if your IP has changed by visiting ip.oxylabs.io.
Set up FoxyProxy on Mozilla Firefox
The process of setting up FoxyProxy on Firefox is the same as on Chrome.
