Setting up a proxy in Proxy Switcher

Proxy Switcher is a tool for managing sets of proxies and quickly switching between them without rewriting system settings manually.
Mango Proxy parameters: Getting started → Setting up a proxy


Use cases

  • Quickly switching between profiles (different countries, providers, protocols).
  • Rotating proxies during manual testing/QA.
  • Sharing settings with colleagues (export/import lists where supported).

Step 1. Add Mango proxy

  1. Open Proxy Switcher → Add / New Proxy.
    Interface Proxy Switcher
  2. Fill in:
    • Type: HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5
    • Host: p2.mangoproxy.com
    • Port: 2333
    • Username/Password: if needed
      Interface Proxy Switcher
  3. Save.

Step 2. Organise groups/profiles

  • Create groups by geography or purpose (e.g., QA‑US, Marketing‑EU, RPA‑DC).
  • Add multiple proxies to a group for quick switching.

Step 3. Activation and check

  • Select the desired proxy → Activate/Apply.
  • Open an IP‑checker (https://api.ipify.org) and make sure the IP matches the selected profile.
