Google Chrome

To use a SOCKS5 proxy in Google Chrome, you can follow these methods:

Method 1: Using Chrome Launch Parameters

  1. Close Chrome if it's open.

  2. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell (in administrator mode).

  3. Navigate to Chrome's installation directory, usually found at:

    • C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\

    • or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\

  4. Enter the following command to launch Chrome with the --proxy-server parameter, specifying your SOCKS5 proxy:

    start chrome.exe --proxy-server="socks5://<proxy-server>:<port>"

    For example:

    start chrome.exe --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"

    This will start Chrome and route traffic through the specified SOCKS5 proxy.

  5. If you want to use HTTP proxy, change socks5 in the above command to http.

Method 2: Using System Proxy Settings

  1. Open Windows Settings.

  2. Go to Network & Internet > Proxy.

  3. Under Manual proxy setup, enable Use a proxy server, and enter the SOCKS5 proxy IP address and port.

  4. Click Save, and then restart Chrome.

This method will make Chrome automatically use the system proxy settings.

Special note: Chrome cannot directly set the account and password, so the above steps are only valid for Cliproxy desktop program extraction and static IP whitelist mode. If you want to use Cliproxy traffic plan, you need to download the extension program for configuration.
