This step-by-step guide will show you how to set up Anonymous Proxies with SwitchyOmega in just a few minutes.
HTTP Proxies are handling HTTP requests towards the internet on behalf of a client. They are fast and very popular when it comes to any kind of anonymous web browsing.
SOCKSv5 is an internet protocol that is more versatile than a regular HTTP proxy since it can run on any port and traffic can flow both on TCP and UDP. Useful in games and other applications that do not use the http protocol.
SwitchyOmega is a free browser extension that makes the management and switching between proxy profiles easy. It works without a hitch with major browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox. Instead of struggling with complicated browser menus or operating system configurations, Proxy SwitchyOmega lets you take full control of your proxies in just a few clicks.
