How to Find Proxy Server Address in Chrome?

Published in Computer Networking 2 mins read

You can't directly find the proxy server address used by Chrome within the browser itself. Chrome's proxy settings are managed by your operating system, not the browser.

To find the proxy server address, you need to check your system's network settings:

Windows:

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Go to Network and Sharing Center.
  3. Click on Change adapter settings.
  4. Right-click on your active network connection (usually Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and select Properties.
  5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
  6. If using a proxy server, you'll see the address under Use a proxy server.

macOS:

  1. Open System Preferences.
  2. Go to Network.
  3. Select your active network connection (usually Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and click Advanced.
  4. Go to the Proxies tab.
  5. If a proxy is being used, the address will be listed here.

Linux:

  1. Open a terminal and run the command sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces.
  2. Look for the line starting with proxy.
  3. The address following proxy is the proxy server address.

If you don't see any proxy server address in your system settings, it means your computer is not using a proxy server.

Remember that proxy settings can be configured by your network administrator or by specific applications. If you're unsure about your proxy settings, contact your IT department or network administrator for assistance.
