What is SwitchyOmega?

SwitchyOmega is a browser extension which allows you to switch between your multiple proxies quickly and easily.

There's no need to go into advanced settings on chrome, SwitchyOmega will bypass these settings with their simple drop down menu. We will walk you through how to set this up with your PlainProxies.


SwitchyOmega is available to download for free! It's also available on Firefox.

2. Set Up New Profile

Click add new profile once you have been redirected, then it's time to add your proxies.

First off all you need to give your profile a name as this cannot be left empty, then click the type of profile you'd like to create.

3. Enter Proxy Details

After setting up your new profile you need to enter the details of your PlainProxies. As all PlainProxies package use HTTP protocol and support HTTPS pick either of these two options.

All proxies we deliver use username/password authentication. We are using this proxy: resi.ipv6.plainproxies.com:8080:customer:product--resi6--pass--nicepass

Once you have entered the necessary details, click the lock button. And then enter your username and password. Then, just click Save Changes.

Just repeat these steps for all your proxies you would like to switch to on your browser and you will have these proxies as options on the pop up menu on your extensions button.
