Configure Chrome to use KnoxProxy system-wide or via launch flags. For authenticated proxies, pair with the SwitchyOmega extension.
Start Chrome with proxy server flag.
# macOS
open -a "Google Chrome" --args --proxy-server="http://gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"
# Windows
chrome.exe --proxy-server="http://gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"
# Linux
google-chrome --proxy-server="http://gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"For proxy auth and profile switching, install the SwitchyOmega extension from Chrome Web Store.
Create a new profile with KnoxProxy details.
Protocol: HTTP
Server: gw.knoxproxy.com
Port: 7000
Username: your_username
Password: your_passwordClick the SwitchyOmega icon and select your KnoxProxy profile.
Create multiple SwitchyOmega profiles with different country usernames.
Visit httpbin.org/ip to verify your exit IP.
#!/bin/bash
# Launch Chrome with KnoxProxy
# macOS
open -a "Google Chrome" --args \
--proxy-server="http://gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"
# For authenticated proxy, use SwitchyOmega extension
# or set system-level proxy with IP allowlistBrowser connections are persistent. Each new tab or page load may reuse the same connection. For IP rotation, use SwitchyOmega to switch profiles.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED | Verify gw.knoxproxy.com:7000. Check that Chrome was launched with the correct flag. |
| Proxy auth popup not appearing | Use SwitchyOmega extension for authenticated proxy support. |
USER-country-de-city-berlin-session-profile07Order matters -- geo flags before the session flag. The session name is free text; use the profile ID so the mapping is self-documenting. Password stays as issued; no flags belong there. HTTP on :7000, SOCKS5 on :7001, same credentials.
Chrome shows a popup for proxy auth, but it is unreliable. Use the SwitchyOmega extension for reliable proxy authentication.
Not natively. Use SwitchyOmega auto-switch rules to route different domains through different proxy profiles.
The --proxy-server flag only affects that Chrome instance. Other apps and browsers use their own proxy settings.
Yes. Use --proxy-server="socks5://gw.knoxproxy.com:7001" in the launch flag.
