Proxies for Web Browsing

Browsers use proxies by connecting directly to the proxy server, which then connects to another server or website on their behalf. The external server sends back information to the proxy server, which then forwards it to the browser. This way, the browser doesn’t reveal its real IP address unless a transparent proxy is used.

To use two proxies on the same browser, you can set up one proxy in the browser’s network settings and use an extension or add-on to configure the second proxy. Alternatively, use a proxy management tool that allows you to switch between multiple proxies seamlessly within the browser.

You can find all the information about proxy settings in the Chrome browser in our documentation.

Android browsers rely on the device's system settings for proxy configuration. If you're using Chrome, refer to our Chrome settings guide. Additionally, check the proxy settings in your Android device.

Using a proxy with the Tor browser is generally unnecessary because Tor already provides a high level of anonymity. In fact, configuring a proxy with Tor can compromise your privacy and security. It's best to use Tor without additional proxies to maintain optimal anonymity.
