Proxy Manager

Simply put, a proxy acts as a gateway between you and the rest of the internet. It is an intermediary server that works between you and the websites or apps you visit or use online.

Each computer and device has a unique IP address that is used when connecting to the internet. Websites you visit can see your IP address which is how they find out your location and monitor your online activity.

But, a proxy has its own IP address which is different than the IP of your device. So, when using a proxy, websites can see your proxy’s IP and other identifiable data instead of yours. That’s how you stay anonymous and protected online.

Since the proxy’s IP can come from any location in the world, it can trick websites into believing that you’re browsing from another location. This will allow you to bypass geo-restrictions and censorship and access websites that are censored or not available in your country.

A proxy manager is usually a browser extension, but it can also be a standalone app that simplifies the setup and usage of proxies. Using proxies can be challenging for some people and annoying for others who don’t want to log into the proxy dashboard for every small change they want to make.

That’s why proxy managers exist. They help you use or manage your proxies more easily instead of digging through settings and menus.

Even though you can use the proxy provider’s dashboard for anything you want regarding your proxies, it can be time-consuming and complicated when using several proxies at the same time.

A proxy manager makes this a lot easier and quicker. The main reasons to use proxy managers are:

Switching between multiple proxy servers

In most cases, operating systems and browsers support the setup of only one proxy at a time. This means that you’ll have to remove the first configuration before entering another one when you need to use a different proxy.

Fortunately, a proxy manager can help you set up and use multiple proxies simultaneously, each for a different purpose. By using one, you’ll be able to switch between different profiles quickly and easily.

Making proxies easy to use

Managing multiple residential proxies can be tiresome and challenging. You have to log into the right proxy provider’s dashboard whenever you want to change location or do any other task.

Changing them all the time is just tedious and a waste of time. But, a proxy manager can easily change your proxies with only a few clicks.

Most proxy managers are free, and you can find plenty of them on the market. However, not all of them are worth your time, so don’t go with the first free proxy manager you see.

The reason is that some proxy managers might not be up-to-date, and others might have a malicious purpose.
