Oxy® Proxy Extension for Chrome

Configure the Oxy® Proxy Extension for Chrome with Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies - install, add profiles, and switch easily within the browser.

Oxy® Proxy Extension is a proxy management extension for Chrome. It's free and works with any proxy provider of your choice.​

This quick guide shows how to integrate Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies you've purchased through self-service.

1

Dowload the extension

Download and click the extension icon to open the application.

2

Add new proxy

Click the +Add new proxy button.

3

Set up Dedicated ISP Proxies

A new tab will open up where you can set up your proxy profile.

Fill in the details as follows:

Name

Project name

Protocol

HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

Domain

disp.oxylabs.io

Port

8001

Username

user-USERNAME

Password

PASSWORD

The port number indicates which IP address from your acquired proxy list will be used. Use port 8000 for automatic proxy IP rotation.

Make sure to add the user- part to your username.

4

Save configuration

Click Save changes.

5

Connect

Open the extension as shown in the first step and click Connect.

That's it. You're now using Dedicated ISP Proxies.

Geo-location settings

When using static ports (e.g., 8001, 8002, etc.), you directly connect to an IP address located in a specifc country. Check your proxy list to see the available locations.

When using proxy rotation (port 8000), to rotate IPs from a specific country, use a modified username format. For example, to connect to US-based proxies, enter your username as user-USERNAME-country-US.

Static sessions

You can also use the same proxy IP address for multiple requests. Port 8000 always rotates through your proxy list, while connecting through port 8001 uses the IP assigned to this port. To switch IPs, change the port to 8002, 8003, etc. You can find the assigned port numbers in your proxy list.

Global bypass list

If you don't want to use proxies when accessing specific websites, you can add them to the bypass list. Open the extension, click Manage proxies, and then open the Global Bypass List.

For example, if you want to skip using proxies for https://ip.oxylabs.io/, you should enter the address like this: https://ip.oxylabs.io or ip.oxylabs.io. Once you visit this site, you should see your regular IP address instead of a proxy IP.

After saving the changes, disconnect and reconnect the proxy to enable the bypass list.

Common errors

Use the troubleshooting steps outlined below to fix common extension errors when using Oxylabs or other providers' proxies.

Proxies not connecting

Try disconnecting and re-connecting your proxies in the extension. If the issue persists, move on to the next step below.

Incorrect proxy credentials

Verify the proxy username and password you've entered are correct and match the credentials assigned by your proxy provider.

For Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies, ensure you're using the proxy user's username and password you've created in the Oxylabs dashboard. You can always edit these credentials in the dashboard.

Invalid username without appending user-

Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies, acquired via self-service, require you to append the user- string to your proxy user's username. For example, if your username is john_TFTdL, then you must enter your username as user-john_TFTdL.

Invalid proxy domain or port

Make sure you're using a valid proxy domain and port number as assigned by your proxy provider.

A valid domain address for Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies (purchased via self-service) is disp.oxylabs.io and port 8000. See the full list of valid ports in the dashboard. You can check the documentation of ISP Proxies to learn more.

Proxy port out of range

Verify you've entered a proxy port that isn't out of range. For Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies, visit the dashboard to find your proxy list with assigned port numbers.

Extension not working

If the extension is not working for some reason, try uninstalling and re-installing it through the Chrome web store or browser settings.

Disable third-party VPN

Turn off a third-party Virtual Private Network (VPN) if you're using it. It may conflict with the Oxy® Proxy Extension.

This guide is also available for Datacenter Proxies, Residential Proxies, Mobile Proxies, ISP Proxies, Enterprise and Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies.
