How to configure a proxy for Chrome on Windows

Chrome uses system proxy settings by default; extensions can manage separate configurations. HTTP works well for web testing, while account workflows benefit from sticky sessions.

1. Prepare your settings

Copy gateway, port and credentials from the dashboard. Choose the target country for regional sites and sticky mode for logins.

Protocol: HTTP or SOCKS5
Host: us.mooproxy.net
Port: 55688
Username: YOUR_PROXY_USERNAME
Password: YOUR_FULL_PROXY_PASSWORD

2. Method one: Windows system proxy

Open Windows Settings.
Go to Network & Internet → Proxy.
Enable the proxy server under Manual proxy setup.
Enter the proxy address and port.
Save and test the exit IP in Chrome.

This affects all apps that use the system proxy, not only Chrome. Authentication support may be less flexible than in proxy extensions.

3. Method two: proxy extension

For Chrome-only routing, use a compatible proxy extension. Create a profile, enter protocol, host, port and credentials, then enable it.

4. Verify the connection

Check the exit country and ISP using an IP-check page.
Open the destination homepage to confirm connectivity.
For logins, check that browser language and time zone match the intended environment.
Avoid frequent country changes for the same account.

5. Common issues

Authentication prompt: Enter the credentials shown in the dashboard.
Pages do not load: Check the protocol and port.
IP did not change: Ensure the extension or system proxy is enabled.
Slow connection: Try another session in the same country or a different local network.
