The IPRoyal Google Chrome Proxy Manager is a powerful and secure extension that allows you to easily manage and switch between all your proxies within a single browser.

It’s a free tool designed with your privacy in mind—ensuring you don’t have to worry about sharing sensitive credentials with third-party extensions.

Advantages of Using the Google Chrome Proxy Manager

The key advantages of our Proxy Manager are:

  • All-in-one proxy management

Create multiple profiles for different proxies, locations, and configurations, and easily switch between them as needed.

  • One-click proxy changing

Switch between proxy profiles with a single click, no need to log into your dashboard each time you require a new IP.

  • Easy profile customization

Tailor your proxy profiles with features like IP skipping, localization, high-end proxies, and IP rotation to meet your specific needs.

  • High compatibility

Use any type of proxy from any provider. If you’re an IPRoyal client, simply log in and don’t worry about usernames or passwords.

How to Install the Google Chrome Proxy Manager

The Proxy Manager extension is available in the Chrome Web Store . To add it to your browser, click the Add to Chrome button.

You’ll be prompted to either add a proxy manually or log in. The easiest and the most convenient option is to log in, as your IPRoyal proxy profiles will be automatically authenticated. Click the Login button (4) and a new browser tab will open.

Setting Up Proxy Profiles

You are now ready to start creating your first proxy profile. There are three ways you can do it and we’ll guide you through each one.

1. Quick Proxy Profile Creation

To quickly add a proxy profile simply click the Add new proxy button (1) . Then, choose your proxy type (Residential or manual). For our Residential proxies, you can place orders without visiting the dashboard by clicking the New Order button (2) . If you already have residential traffic on your account, click on Add New Proxy (3) .

Let’s say you wanted to use a residential proxy from Germany. Start by typing in a Profile Name (4) . The extension will use the account (5) you logged in with to generate your credentials. Set Country/Region (6) to Germany and click the Save button (7) .

Your newly created proxy profile will now appear in the extension interface. To enable it, click the Connect button (8) next to the profile. Once activated, the status will update to Connected (9) .

This will enable you to add the following features to your proxy profile:

  • Proxy Port (1) : select the port you want from the available options.
  • High-end Pool (2) : access faster and more stable proxies from the selected location. Please note that this option reduces the pool size to ensure the highest performance.
  • City/State (3) : refine the location of your proxies to a specific city or state within the selected country.
  • Protocol (4) : set the protocol based on the type of proxy type you’re using (HTTP|HTTPS or SOCKS5).
  • Rotation (5) : choose between sticky sessions and random IP rotation.
  • IP skipping (6) : specify if you want certain IP ranges to be automatically bypassed during proxy connections (more on IP skipping ).
  • TTL (7) : - if using sticky sessions, specify the duration (time-to-live) of a session (in seconds, minutes, hours, or days).

3. Manual Proxy Profile Creation

As mentioned above, you can also add your proxy details manually. You can use this option for our Datacenter, ISP, and Mobile proxies. You can also add proxies from other providers this way. To start, click the Manual Proxy button (1) .

The process will remain the same with a few additional steps. As before, you’ll need to come up with a Profile Name (2) and choose your Protocol (3). You’ll also need to enter your proxy details (4) . If you paste your details from the clipboard in the host:port:user:pass, the extensions will fill these fields automatically.

And that’s it!

FAQ

Is the Google Chrome Proxy Manager compatible with other browsers?

Yes. Our Google Chrome Proxy Manager works on all Chromium-based web browsers (Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, different versions of Opera, and more).

Does the Google Chrome Proxy Manager work with all proxies?

Yes. You need to make sure your proxies have a username and a password. Alternatively, if you get your proxies from IPRoyal, you can whitelist your IP address so you don’t need to fill these fields when creating a new profile.

Will using the Google Chrome Proxy Manager slow down my connection?

That depends on the type of proxies you’re using and where you got them from. Since residential proxies come from genuine devices and ISP internet connections, there’s a chance they’ll be slower than your connection. If you’re using datacenter, sneakers, or static residential proxies , you will most likely not notice any impact.
