Oxy® Proxy Extension for Chrome

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 Residential Proxies.

Setup

1

Download and click the extension icon to open the application.

2

Click the +Add new proxy button.

3

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 or HTTPS

Domain

pr.oxylabs.io

Port

7777

Username

customer-USERNAME

Password

PASSWORD

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

4

Click Save changes.

You can also use random country-specific entries. For example, if you enter us-pr.oxylabs.io as the Domain and 10000 as the Port, you’ll acquire a US exit node.

5

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

That's it. You're now using proxies with automatically rotating IP addresses.

Static sessions

Sticky country-specific entries allow you use the same IP address for up to 10 minutes. For example, if you enter us-pr.oxylabs.io as the Domain and 10001 as the Port, you’ll receive the US exit node with a sticky session.

Additionally, you can control your sessions by assigning a random alphanumeric string to the sessid- parameter. This parameter must be appended to your username, for example, customer-USERNAME-sessid-123:

After saving the changes, open the extension window and connect to the newly created proxy.

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.
