The automatic proxy configuration URL comes in handy if you are on a managed school or work network. It configures the proxy server without you having to do anything.
Step 4: Define Patterns. Now navigate to the ‘URL Patterns’ tab and click on ‘Add New Pattern’. In this section, you can define the pattern for the URLs that you want to route through a specific proxy. You can also select the proxy that you want to use for this pattern.
Choose whether you want to whitelist or blacklist the URL you just entered. Blacklisted URLs take precedence over whitelisted URLs.
Step 5: Enable your proxy profile. Click on the extension icon and select: If you want to enable proxy “profile name” for all websites, use proxy “profile name” for all URLs.
If you have configured the proxy to work on specific websites, use the proxy according to predefined patterns and priorities.
Step 6: Test your proxy. Now you can check whether your location and IP address have changed or not.
That’s it! You’ve successfully set up a proxy server on Chrome using it!
