Use HProxy with Google Chrome.
Use an HProxy proxy in Chrome, the reliable way rather than the frustrating one.
Chrome is the most common browser, but on its own it hands proxy settings to the operating system, which cannot pass a proxy login cleanly.
For quick manual checks, browsing from a specific country is often all you need, seeing a site the way a local sees it, and Chrome is where most people reach for that first.
Setting up HProxy in Google Chrome
- 1.For a single authenticated proxy, use a proxy manager extension rather than Chrome's own settings, which delegate to the OS and prompt awkwardly for the login.
- 2.Add your host, port and login in the extension.
- 3.For automation, launch Chrome with --proxy-server and handle the login in code instead.
Worth knowing
Chrome's native proxy dialog cannot store a username and password; an extension like FoxyProxy or SwitchyOmega is the practical route.
The host, port and login shown here are the format; your exact values are on your dashboard, ready to copy.
