Configuring Proxy Settings in Chrome

Follow these steps to fortify your Chrome browser with proxy protection:

Browser window with menu open and Settings highlighted.

Open Chrome:

Once you open Chrome, click on the menu (three vertical dots) in the top right corner. Choose ‘Settings’.

Select 'System' from the left menu.

Click on “Wi-Fi” in the sidebar, then click the “Details” button beside your connected network.

Chrome settings showing proxy settings option highlighted.

Click on 'Open your computer’s proxy settings'.

Navigate to the “Proxies” tab and select a protocol to configure.

Chrome proxy configuration

Chrome doesn’t offer built-in proxy settings. Instead, it takes you to your computer’s default proxy settings. To configure the proxy further with Chrome, refer to the guides specific to Windows or macOS.
Keep in mind: These proxy changes will affect all apps on your computer, not just Chrome.

⚠️Important note: If you are using Bright Data’s Residential Proxies, Web Unlocker or SERP API, you need to install an SSL certificate to enable end-to-end secure connections to your target website(s). This is a simple process, see https://docs.brightdata.com/general/account/ssl-certificate#installation-of-the-ssl-certificate for instructions.
