However, in some cases, you may want to connect to the internet through a proxy server.

You can also use a proxy plugin such as FoxyProxy to configure a proxied connection just for Chrome. This can be especially useful if you need to access specific websites or content that is restricted in your region.

Another option for changing Chrome proxy settings is using a private VPN provider's browser plugin, such as /SurfShark. By using a VPN browser plugin, you can easily change your proxy settings in Chrome and enjoy the benefits of a private and secure browsing experience.
