# FoxyProxy

[FoxyProxy](https://getfoxyproxy.org/) 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**](https://oxylabs.io/products/datacenter-proxies).

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

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Install FoxyProxy

Download and install the [standard](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/foxyproxy/gcknhkkoolaabfmlnjonogaaifnjlfnp) or [basic](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/foxyproxy-basic/dookpfaalaaappcdneeahomimbllocnb) extension for Chrome. We'll use the standard extension in the following steps.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open options

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

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to add the `user-` part to your username.
{% endhint %}

**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](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/proxy-list).

**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](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/ip-control) for more details.

After that, click **Save** to save your proxy settings.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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.
