One press
Press the H, or flip the switch, and Chrome goes through your proxy. Press again and you are back on your own address. The card shows where sites now see you: the country, the address, and the route from your browser to the exit.
The HProxy Chrome extension
Proxy switcher and proxy checker for Chrome, free.
Connect Chrome through your own HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy in one click and see what it really does, or through a tested free proxy by country. No account and no tracking. A proxy is not a VPN: it changes the proxy Chrome uses, and nothing else on your computer.

- Version 1.0.0 on the Chrome Web Store
- HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5
- Free proxies by country, tested first
- No analytics, no telemetry
What it does
Connect, check and switch, from the toolbar
Four parts in one popup. Each works the same way on your own proxy and on a free one.
Your own proxy
Paste a proxy line in almost any shape (host:port, host:port:user:pass, user:pass@host:port, socks5://host:port) and connect. HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies all work. The extension finds out which protocol your proxy speaks by testing it inside your browser, with only the test going through it, so your pages never move to a proxy that does not work. Proxies you connected to are saved for one-click reuse.
A proxy checker in your browser
Every connection is checked straight away: the address sites see and its network, whether the proxy is elite or adds headers that give you away, whether WebRTC can reach around it, and whether your time zone and language match the exit's country. A check that cannot answer says so; it never reports a pass it did not measure.
Free proxies, tested first
Pick a country, or Quick Connect to the fastest free proxy anywhere. Every free proxy is tested before your pages use it, and one that dies while you browse is replaced by the next working one on its own. New IP moves you to a different exit.
Free proxies are public proxies run by others: fine for seeing a site from another country, wrong for anything with a login. The full list is our free proxy list.
Privacy
Private by design
No account and nothing to sign up for. Everything the extension sends, and to where, is listed in our privacy policy.
No account
Nothing to sign up for. Install it and press the H.
No analytics, no telemetry
No crash reporting and no tracking either. It contacts our servers only for the features you use, and our privacy policy lists each one.
Your password stays with you
Your proxy and its password never leave your browser: the login goes only to the proxy it belongs to.
WebRTC locked while connected
While you are connected, WebRTC is locked to the proxy so a page cannot reach around it. It is released when you disconnect.
Every request, row by row: the privacy policy.
Chrome, or the whole computer
A proxy is not a VPN
The extension changes the proxy Chrome uses, not the rest of your computer. For the whole computer, the HProxy app for Windows sets the proxy that browsers and most programs follow, and checks whole proxy lists at once.

HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, with or without a username and password. Paste the line as host:port, host:port:user:pass, user:pass@host:port or socks5://host:port; the extension tests which protocol the proxy speaks before your pages use it.

They are public proxies run by others. Each one is tested before your pages use it, but its operator can see what passes through: fine for seeing a site from another country, wrong for anything with a login.
