# FoxyProxy

[FoxyProxy](https://getfoxyproxy.org/) is a third-party extension that enables configuring proxies directly for Chrome, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers.

### Set up FoxyProxy on Google Chrome <a href="#set-up-foxyproxy-on-google-chrome" id="set-up-foxyproxy-on-google-chrome"></a>

Unlike Firefox, Chrome doesn’t offer even basic proxy server configuration features in its settings, instead sending users to system-level settings. It does seem rather lazy at first, but then again, maybe they have a secret deal with FoxyProxy. Finally, it’s time to configure the FoxyProxy extension on Chrome:

1\. After installing the extension, click on its icon in the menu and select **Options**.

2\. In the Options window, click the **Add New Proxy** button located on the right sidebar to open proxy settings.

3\. In the newly opened **Proxy Details** window, choose **Manual Proxy Configuration** and fill in the proxy settings and your account information.

To use Oxylabs proxies, enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s **Username** and **Password**. Use the same credentials you typed in when creating a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard. If you have whitelisted IPs, you do not need to pass login credentials.

**Proxy type:** HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

**Proxy host:** ddc.oxylabs.io

**Proxy port:** 8001

{% hint style="info" %}
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list. Check our [documentation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/self-service/proxy-list) for more details.

### Set up FoxyProxy on Mozilla Firefox <a href="#set-up-foxyproxy-on-mozilla-firefox" id="set-up-foxyproxy-on-mozilla-firefox"></a>

Unlike Chrome, Firefox offers its users the ability to configure proxies out of the box. It even has some automation and customization features. Despite this difference, the process of setting up FoxyProxy on Firefox is almost the same as on Chrome.

Now if you wish to find out if your internet traffic is now routed through a proxy, check if your IP has changed at [ip.oxylabs.io](http://ip.oxylabs.io/), or you can click on the **What’s My IP?** button in the extension’s menu.
