Adding proxies
To start using proxies with SwitchyOmega, you’ll need to get the extension first:
Once you install SwitchyOmega extension on your preferred browser, you’ll need to:
1. Open SwitchyOmega's Options.
2. Click on New profile.
3. Type in a Profile name.
4. Choose Proxy Profile type and click Create.
6. Configure your proxy details.
Connection type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Server: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
You can also use country-specific entries. For example, entering us-pr.oxylabs.io under Server and 10000 under Port will acquire a US exit node. Please refer to our documentation for a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session.
For Residential Proxies, add 7777 under Port
Connection type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Server: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For the Pay-per-IP subscription, the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the given list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. For more details, check our documentation.
For the Pay-per-traffic subscription, port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, within the user authentication string: user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD. Check our documentation for more details.
Connection type: HTTP or SOCKS5
Server: a specific IP address (e.g., 1.2.3.4)
Port: 60000
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired list. Visit our documentation for more details.
Connection type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Server: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list. Check our documentation for more details.
Connection type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Server: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
7. Next, click the Lock button on the right.
8. After that, fill in your Oxylabs proxy user's Username and Password.
9. Click Save changes.
10. Click Apply changes.
11. For the final step, click on the SwitchyOmega extension icon and choose your newly configured proxy. And that’s it!
SwitchyOmega is one of the better proxy managers out there, so go ahead and give it a try. As mentioned before, SwitchyOmega does not provide proxies. In this case, you need to be sure that you are using the most reliable proxies for a smooth web scraping or browsing experience. Using SwitchyOmega extension with our Datacenter and Residential Proxy servers will help you avoid many browsing issues.
If you have questions on how to configure our proxies with SwitchyOmega or considering starting using our proxies, contact our sales team or check out our Datacenter and Residential Proxies documentation for more information.
