KProxy for Chrome

Proxy servers are designed to help you change your IP address while online, thus concealing your identity and protecting your privacy. While there are several desktop applications that can reroute the traffic through a proxy server, the easiest way to do this is to install an extension directly into the browser (if it doesn’t already have a built-in proxy tool).

If your go-to browser is Google Chrome, then you can try out the KProxy extension. With its help, you can easily foul all the pages you visit into thinking that you are located somewhere else and have an IP address different than your real one. There are multiple benefits to this. Not only that you get to protect yourself from identity and password theft attempts, but you also bypass censorship and geographical restrictions for downloading certain files or accessing various webpages.

Installing the KProxy addon for Chrome is extremely easy and there is no need for a browser restart to have the extension available for use. The gray hat icon in the upper toolbar allow one-click access to KProxy’s functionality. Clicking on it reveals a big button to start the data traffic rerouting, with no other options at this stage.

Once started, KProxy begins looking for a proxy server automatically, which takes no more than a few seconds. Once connected, it displays the location of the target server. By clicking on tiny arrow next to the location, you can easily change the proxy server.

In case you get a connection error, it might happen that your PC is restricted by a company filter. The solution is to try bypassing the proxy.

Looking into your KProxy account, you can see the amount of time you have spent browsing with Chrome, as well as how much data you have transferred in the current session.

The KProxy extension for Chrome is a proxy alternative as good as any other. It is easy to use, requires no configuration and is easily installed. In fact, it only takes a few clicks to get it up and running. In a few seconds, you will browse the Web with a different IP address, anonymously.
