ZeroOmega
Integrate ZeroOmega proxy manager with Oxylabs Proxies with a quick step-by-step guide.
ZeroOmega browser extension (formerly SwitchyOmega) is a powerful and reliable open-source proxy manager that works with all most popular browsers.
Follow the instructions below to integrate ZeroOmega with the following Oxylabs proxies:
Set up ZeroOmega extension
Install the official ZeroOmega extension on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Note: Google Chrome does not support SOCKS5 proxy authentication in browser extensions. If you plan to use Oxylabs SOCKS5 proxies, choose the ZeroOmega extension for Mozilla Firefox.
Configure proxy details
Choose a proxy Protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5) and enter your proxy details according to your chose proxy type:
Residential & Mobile Proxies
Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 (Firefox)
Server: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
You may also use additional parameters with residential and mobile proxies to set the geo-location (country, state, city, and etc.) and control sessions. Check out the Residential Proxies documentation to learn more. The table below provides an overview of available parameters and their example values.
Host: us-pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 10000
User: customer-username-cc-US
User: customer-username-st-US_texas
User: customer-username-city-paris
User: customer-username-cn-NA
User: customer-username-cc-US-postalcode-90210
User: customer-username-ASN-21928
Session (up to 1440 minutes)
User: customer-username-sessid-qwerty123-sesstime-1440
Host: us-pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 10001
Datacenter Proxies
Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 (Firefox)
Server: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
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.
Furthermore, you can specify the geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
The 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.
If you want to use a specific geo-location, for example, the US, set the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)
Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 (Firefox)
Server: 1.2.3.4 (IP address from your proxy list)
Port: 60000 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 1180 (SOCKS5)
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via sales), you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired proxy list.
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Self-service)
Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 (Firefox)
Server: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via Oxylabs dashboard), the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired proxy list. If you want to get a different IP with each request, change the Port to 8000 to enable proxy rotation.
ISP Proxies
Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 (Firefox)
Server: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
ISP Proxies assign each port to a specific IP address and location. Port 8001 always uses the first IP from your proxy list. Use port 8000 to enable proxy rotation.
To get rotating IPs from a specific country's proxy pool, set the username using this format: user-USERNAME-country-XX, where XX is the country code (e.g., US for United States).
Dedicated ISP Proxies
Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 (Firefox)
Server: disp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
You will need to choose the port assigned to an IP address from the purchased proxy list, which you can find on the Oxylabs dashboard. The 8001 port will pick the first IP address from your list for all requests. Use port 8000 for automatic proxy IP rotation.
Enter user credentials
Click the lock icon next to the proxy port text field and enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials. Use the same username and password you entered to create a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.
Residential & Mobile proxies
User Name: customer-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Datacenter proxies

Dedicated Datacenter proxies (Self-service)

Make sure to add the customer- or user- prefix to your username if your proxy type requires it.
Finally, click Save changes.
Activate the proxy profile
To use the new proxy profile, click on your browser extensions, select the ZeroOmega extension (alt. Proxy SwitchyOmega 3), and choose the profile you wish to use.
You can also test your proxy connection by visiting IP2Location or an equivalent IP testing site to check your connection IP and proxy location.
And that’s it. You’ve successfully integrated your Oxylabs proxies with ZeroOmega. You can find the original ZeroOmega integration guide here.
