2. Opening the Extension and Initial Setup
Click the BPProxy icon in your Chrome toolbar (top-right corner).
A dropdown window will appear for proxy configuration.
Click the "Add Proxy" or “Edit” button.
3. Adding a Proxy
Fill out the following fields:

Host: IP address of the proxy
Port: Usually 8080, 3128, or another depending on your provider
Username/Password (if required): For authenticated proxies
Then click OK to save.
4. Switching or Enabling a Proxy
After saving, your proxy will be listed.
To activate it, click the toggle switch next to the proxy.
You’ll see the list of proxies that were added and select one from the drop down to enable the proxy active.
5. Testing If Your Proxy Works
Method 1: IP Leak Test
Check the IP and location details.
If they match your proxy, it’s working.
Method 2: Speed & Anonymity Check
Use a tool like:
Paste in your proxy IP and port. Run the test to see latency, anonymity level, and more.
6. Editing or Deleting a Proxy
Click the Edit icon (pencil) to change details.

7. Testing Proxies on Target Site
Before deploying your proxies, test them against your target site to ensure compatibility, speed, and success rates. This helps you identify which proxies perform best and avoid wasting time on blocked or slow IPs.
Tips & Troubleshooting
If websites don’t load after enabling a proxy, try:
Switching proxy types (HTTP vs SOCKS5)
Testing another proxy from your list
Ensuring the IP/port is active
Avoid using multiple proxy extensions at once, as they may conflict.
Always clear the browser cache when switching proxies for accuracy.
