If you want to use different proxy settings,  you can use an extension such as <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/proxy-switchyomega\/padekgcemlokbadohgkifijomclgjgif\"  target=\"_blank\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" >Proxy SwitchyOmega<\/a>. But it can&#8217;t enable the remote DNS option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a <a href=\"https:\/\/free-proxy-list.net\/blog\/firefox-remote-dns\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remote DNS option<\/a> in Firefox. But Chrome doesn&#8217;t have it. To enable the remote DNS option, you have to add a command-line flag to your Chrome shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Right-click the Chrome icon on the desktop and click the &#8220;Properties&#8221; option.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"444\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/free-proxy-list.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chrome-shortcut.png\" alt=\"Chrome Shortcut\" class=\"wp-image-1942\"\/><figcaption>Chrome Shortcut<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Add this command-line flag to the &#8220;Target&#8221; option.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p> <code>--proxy-server=\"socks5:\/\/1.2.3.4:3000\"<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important Notes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There are double &#8220;-&#8221; in the command-line flag above.<\/li><li>Add a space before the command-line flag. If you want to add a second command-line flag, start it with a space too.<\/li><li>The proxy 1.2.3.4:3000 is just a demo, change to a real proxy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The full command line should be like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --proxy-server=\"socks5:\/\/1.2.3.4:3000\"<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"363\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/free-proxy-list.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chrome-command-properties.png\" alt=\"Chrome Command Properties\" class=\"wp-image-1943\"\/><figcaption>Chrome Command-Line Properties<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are using a socks proxy in Chrome and the remote DNS is enabled. You can use Chrome to surf this website to confirm it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.find-ip.net\"  target=\"_blank\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" >http:\/\/www.find-ip.net<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. An optional command-line flag<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>According to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chromium.org\/developers\/design-documents\/network-stack\/socks-proxy\/\"  target=\"_blank\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" >Chrome document<\/a>, there may be some DNS requests leaking. To avoid it, you can add this command-line flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>--host-resolver-rules=\"MAP * ~NOTFOUND , EXCLUDE&nbsp;<em><strong>1.2.3.4<\/strong><\/em>\"<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP of your real socks proxy. Now the full command line should be like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --proxy-server=\"socks5:\/\/1.2.3.4:3000\" --host-resolver-rules=\"MAP * ~NOTFOUND , EXCLUDE 1.2.3.4\"<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An instruction showing how to set Chrome to use Socks Proxy and enable the remote DNS options by two command-line flags.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-proxy-question","category-proxy-software"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
