Can you run multiple Chrome instances with different proxies?
The answer from gengkev is correct. For all users combing from search engines who need a quick "copy and paste" solution, use this link target (windows):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --proxy-server="http://proxy01.your.proxy:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome-proxy01\User Data"
Chrome will create this new folder "Chrome-proxy01" on its own. With this you can have multiple chrome shortcuts using different proxy servers.
If you're running more than one instance of chrome with different flags, I think you need to specify different paths to --user-data-dir.
Yes, you can run it. To do so:
- Install the extension SwitchyOmega in the profiles that you want to use proxy.
- Create a profile with your desired name and enter the details of the proxy that you wish to use.
- Save the changes using apply changes button.
- Switch to your proxy using the extension button present on the top right corner of the chrome.
In addition I am also attaching extension screenshot:
