HighProxies Browser Proxy Setup Guide

How to Configure WonderSwitcher with HighProxies

This guide explains how to configure a HighProxies private proxy in the WonderSwitcher browser extension for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Follow the steps below to add your proxy IP, proxy port, username, and password correctly.

WonderSwitcher is useful when you want browser-level proxy control without changing the full network configuration on your computer. Once configured, your browser traffic can use your assigned HighProxies IP address while other applications continue using your normal internet connection.

1Before You Start

Before adding your proxy to WonderSwitcher, open your HighProxies client area and copy the exact proxy credentials from the My Proxies page. You will need four values: proxy IP, proxy port, proxy username, and proxy password.

Do not guess the proxy details and do not add extra spaces before or after the username or password. Most proxy connection issues are caused by incorrect credentials, a wrong port, or selecting the wrong encryption option inside the browser extension.

  8. Click Save, then select this server so it becomes your Active proxy.

✓How to Verify the Proxy Connection

After enabling the proxy in WonderSwitcher, open a new browser tab and visit WhatIsMyIPAddress.com. The IP address and location displayed should match your assigned HighProxies proxy.

If the IP address does not change, close old tabs, open a new private browsing window, and test again. Browser extensions sometimes need a fresh tab before the new proxy route is applied correctly.

For the first test, use a neutral website such as an IP checker or Google. Do not test first on a website that may already block proxy or VPN traffic.

2Locating Your HighProxies Credentials

Your proxy credentials are available inside the HighProxies control panel on the My Proxies page. Each active proxy package shows the connection details needed for browser proxy extensions, proxy managers, and supported third-party tools.

Host: proxyIP
Port: proxyPORT
Username: proxyusername
Password: proxypassword
Troubleshooting tip: Copy and paste the proxy details exactly as shown in the client area. If you see a proxy authentication failed error, the username or password is usually incorrect.

3Common WonderSwitcher Proxy Problems

Proxy authentication failed

This usually means the proxy username or password was entered incorrectly. Recopy the credentials from your HighProxies client area and paste them again into WonderSwitcher.

Proxy IP does not change

Make sure the proxy server is enabled and selected as the active proxy in WonderSwitcher. Then open a new tab or a private browsing window and test the connection again.

Website does not load after enabling the proxy

Check the proxy port and encryption setting. For standard HighProxies private proxies, WonderSwitcher should use the proxy host, port, username, and password exactly as displayed in the client area.

?WonderSwitcher and HighProxies FAQ

Can I use HighProxies with WonderSwitcher?

Yes. You can use your HighProxies private proxy with WonderSwitcher by adding the proxy IP, port, username, and password inside the extension.

Should I use HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 in WonderSwitcher?

Use the proxy type and port shown in your HighProxies client area. Do not mix HTTP proxy ports with SOCKS5 ports. If your package includes only HTTP or HTTPS proxy access, use the matching connection type in your browser extension.

Why does the proxy show a different location?

IP location databases are maintained by third parties and may not always update at the same speed. If your assigned proxy location looks incorrect on one IP checker, test with another IP location service before opening a support ticket.

Where can I find my proxy username and password?

Your proxy username and password are available in the HighProxies client area under Services and My Proxies.
