Enter console host, port, and credentials in Chrome or Firefox for one authorized-page preview. This is not an antidetect tutorial and does not recommend an unverified plugin SKU. Console wins. Not for mainland China.
Sometimes you only need to look at an authorized page from a regional exit, without writing a script first. This page shows how to enter the host, port, and credentials the console returns into Chrome or Firefox for one preview. This is not an antidetect or fingerprint-browser tutorial—that workflow lives in residential proxies and antidetect browsers. This site also does not ship, and does not recommend, an unverified proxy-plugin SKU.
String shapes: Proxy format. Protocol: HTTP / SOCKS5 setup. You can confirm the hop with curl. Automated previews: Playwright. Fields follow Docs EN quickstart.
ZTProxy sells rotating residential (per GB) and static residential (per IP·month). Hosts and credentials below are fake placeholders and must be replaced with console values. Open only pages you may access. Not for mainland China.
What to prepare
| Item | Note |
|---|---|
| Console fields | Host, port, username, password, and protocol (HTTP or SOCKS5) follow the console |
| An authorized target | Open only pages you may access; do not treat a third-party lookup site as this company’s official API |
| System proxy and extensions | A system proxy, a VPN client, and a browser extension can override each other—know which layer is active before you preview |
| Rotating or static | A rotating exit may change across new connections; if you need the same exit for the term, see static |
Fake placeholders (do not paste them into the browser as-is): host `proxy.example.invalid`, port `10000`, user `USER_EXAMPLE`, password `PASS_EXAMPLE_NOT_REAL`.
Chrome: use the system proxy or a supported extension entry
Desktop Chrome usually does not keep a long-lived proxy account in its own settings. It uses the operating-system proxy, or an extension / launch flag. Menu names change with the OS version; follow what your system shows:
- Open the system network or proxy settings (macOS “Network > Details > Proxies”, or Windows “Proxy settings”).
- Enter the HTTP or SOCKS host and port from the console. Do not treat the fake host as a real gateway.
- If the system or the browser prompts for proxy authentication, enter the console username and password—not the placeholders on this page.
- Open only an authorized page and confirm it loads. If traffic still leaves from your machine, turn off a VPN or extension that may be overriding the setting, then use the troubleshooting guide.
Do not look on this page for an “official Chrome plugin” or an unverified store SKU. If you use a third-party extension, you must judge its permissions and privacy policy yourself; this site does not endorse it.
Firefox: fill in the browser connection settings
Firefox can set a manual proxy inside the browser, without first changing the system:
- Open Settings > General > Network Settings > Settings.
- Choose manual configuration and enter the HTTP or SOCKS host and port from the console. When SOCKS should resolve DNS through the proxy, use the Firefox option along the lines of “Proxy DNS when using SOCKS” (the label follows the current version).
- At the authentication prompt, enter the console credentials.
- Preview only an authorized page. Afterwards, switch back to “No proxy” or “Use system proxy settings” so later everyday browsing does not keep using this exit.
Do not assume UDP, or UDP associated with SOCKS, is available. Use only the protocol the console lists.
What a preview confirms—and what it does not
A successful load only shows that, on this hop, auth and the tunnel at least worked for this page. It does not prove the destination will accept later automated requests, and it does not replace timeouts and error handling in a script. A rotating exit may change after a new connection; that is not automatically a misconfiguration. Browser fingerprints, extensions, and window size are also out of scope—if you need an antidetect workflow, use that guide instead of turning this page into a fingerprint tutorial.
If you see a 407, a spinner that never ends, or a page that still reflects your own exit, reproduce with curl first, then use 407 and timeout troubleshooting to separate “the proxy was skipped” from “the site rejected the request.”
Limits
Preview only authorized pages. Do not use a browser proxy to bypass a login wall or a site you may not access. Prices follow the console (about $0.40/GB rotating, about $0.20/GB for the 100 TB bundle; shared static about $1.50 and dedicated about $5 per IP·month). USDT/USDC available; Visa/Mastercard applying. Not for mainland China.
FAQ
Is this an antidetect-browser tutorial?
No. This page only covers entering a proxy in Chrome or Firefox and previewing an authorized page. The antidetect workflow is in its own guide.
Do you ship an official proxy plugin?
No. This site does not offer, and this page does not recommend, an unverified plugin SKU.
Why can’t I find a “proxy account” setting in Chrome?
Desktop Chrome usually follows the system proxy, or an extension / launch flag. Use the operating system’s proxy settings.
Does a successful preview mean a script will succeed too?
No. A preview only shows that this hop worked for this page. A script still needs its own timeouts and error handling.
Is it normal for a rotating exit to change after a refresh?
If the order is rotating residential, a new connection may use a new exit. If you need an exit that stays relatively fixed for the term, see static and sticky vs static.
Must I use an IP-lookup site to confirm?
No. Open any page you may access and can judge. Third-party lookup sites are not this company’s official API.
What if a system proxy and a browser extension are both on?
Keep only one layer so they do not override each other, then compare a direct result with a proxied result. See the errors guide.
Can this be used from mainland China?
No. Not for mainland China.
