To use Inside Proxy proxies in Google Chrome, we recommend the Proxy SwitchyOmega extension.

STEP 1 — Install the Extension
Go to Chrome Web Store and search for "Proxy SwitchyOmega" and install it.

Enter a name like "InsideProxy"

When you first use the proxy, Chrome will ask for username and password.
Enter the credentials from your Dashboard → My Plans.
