Use HProxy with Proxy SwitchyOmega.
Switch between HProxy exits in the browser with SwitchyOmega profiles.
SwitchyOmega is a widely used proxy-switching extension that stores proxies as named profiles you flip between from the toolbar.
For manual research across markets, a set of saved profiles, one per country, turns a country switch into a single click instead of a settings edit.
Setting up HProxy in Proxy SwitchyOmega
- 1.Install SwitchyOmega and create a new proxy profile.
- 2.Set the protocol, server gate.hproxy.com, and your port.
- 3.Open the profile's authentication and enter your username and password.
- 4.Apply changes and select the profile from the toolbar.
Worth knowing
Make one profile per exit you use often; switching then takes one click rather than retyping the login.
Frequently asked questions
Why make a separate SwitchyOmega profile per exit?
So switching is one click rather than retyping a host, port and login every time. A profile per exit you use often also removes the transcription mistakes that produce a failure looking exactly like a dead proxy.
Can SwitchyOmega route different sites through different proxies?
Yes, through auto-switch rules matching on domain or pattern. That is the feature worth setting up: work domains through a specific exit, everything else direct, with no manual switching and no risk of leaving the browser proxied when you did not mean to.
Does SwitchyOmega store proxy credentials?
It handles authenticated proxies, which is the main advantage over Chrome's native dialog, and the browser may still prompt on first use depending on version. Once accepted it stops asking, unlike the native path which does not persist reliably.
How do I confirm which profile is active?
The extension icon shows the current profile, and the reliable check is loading an IP-echo page and reading the address back. Trusting the icon alone is how people end up collecting data through the wrong exit for an afternoon.
