# How to setup a proxy with Google Chrome

## If you want to set up a proxy with Chrome, you can follow these steps:

### Open Chrome and click on the three dots at the top-right corner of the window.

1. Click on **`Settings`** in the dropdown menu.
2. Scroll down and click on **`Advanced`** at the bottom of the page.
3. Under the **`System`** section, click on **`Open proxy settings.`**
4. This will open the **Internet Properties** window. Click on the **Connections** tab.
5. Click on the `LAN settings` button.
6. Check the box next to **`Use a proxy server for your LAN`**.
7. Enter the IP address and port number of the proxy server you want to use.
8. If the proxy server requires authentication, check the box next to **`Use a proxy server for your LAN`**, and then click on the **`Advanced`** button to enter the username and password for the proxy server.
9. Click **`OK`** to save the settings.

#### If you’re using a SOCKS5 proxy type the proxy server address in the SOCKS Host field and the port number in the Port field right next to it. DO NOT tick “Use this proxy server for all protocols”

Now, you should be able to use Chrome with the proxy server you have set up. Keep in mind that not all proxies are secure, so make sure you use a trusted proxy service like Your **Private Proxy** if you want to protect your online privacy.
