How to Configure a Proxy in Chrome

Method one: the IsabiProxy extension

The Chrome extension is the simplest path. Install it from the extension page, enter or select your proxy profile, and press Connect. The proxy applies to Chrome only — the rest of your system keeps its normal connection — and Disconnect restores whatever Chrome used before.

Method two: system settings

Chrome can also use your operating system's proxy settings. On Windows: Settings → Network & Internet → Proxy. On macOS: System Settings → Network → Proxies. Enter the host, port, and credentials from your IsabiProxy dashboard. Note this routes all system traffic, not just Chrome's.

Which should you use?

• Extension: per-browser control, profiles, one-click switching, easy off.
• System settings: when you need the proxy outside the browser too.

Troubleshooting

If pages fail to load: check the port, confirm the protocol matches your proxy, and test the credentials with the proxy checker. If Chrome prompts for a password repeatedly on an HTTP proxy, the extension's built-in authentication handler should catch it — see the install guide's authentication notes.
