Switch, test and auto-rotate HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies. Per-proxy speed, country and leak checks. A developer tool, not a VPN. IP Changer is a proxy switcher for Chrome: change your IP address, test every proxy before you trust it, and rotate IP automatically on a timer. A proxy manager for people who actually work with proxies — scraping, geo-testing, QA against regional CDNs, checking how a site behaves from another country. It routes every request the browser makes through the proxy you pick, shows you the exit IP it actually came out on, and can move you to the next one every few minutes. No account. No sign-up. No telemetry. Nothing leaves your machine except the traffic you asked to be proxied. WHAT IT DOES • Switch the whole browser to an HTTP proxy, HTTPS proxy, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy in one click, with username and password authentication handled automatically • A real IP rotator: auto-rotate on a timer, 30 seconds to 1 hour, sequential or random, with rotate-on-failure when a proxy dies mid-page • Built-in proxy tester: does it answer, and can it tunnel HTTPS • See the exit IP, country, city and latency for every proxy you have saved • Watch live download and upload speed, measured from real traffic • Import a provider proxy list by pasting it — hundreds of lines, any format • Optional public free proxy list import, tested before anything is kept • Per-proxy bandwidth totals and a searchable connection log TESTED TWICE, BECAUSE ONE TEST LIES Most proxy managers ask a proxy "are you alive?" over plain HTTP and call it green. Forwarding HTTP and tunnelling HTTPS through CONNECT are different features, and a large share of proxies do the first and refuse the second — so you get a list of proxies badged "alive, 340 ms" that fail on the first real page you load. IP Changer runs both passes. The HTTP pass collects the address, country, city and latency. The HTTPS pass answers the only question that decides whether the proxy is usable in a browser. Proxies that manage the first but not the second are labelled "no https" rather than counted as working. IT TELLS YOU WHEN A TEST IS DUE A result more than 30 minutes old is a guess, not a fact — proxies drop out constantly. So the list says so, and offers to re-test exactly the ones that need it: one row, the stale ones, or all of them. Stale badges are dimmed instead of quietly trusted, and a proxy that has never been tested says "not tested" rather than showing nothing at all. BULK CLEAN-UP Tick rows and test or remove them together. One click ticks every dead proxy, or every untested one, and the picks follow whatever your filter is showing — so you can scope by country and clear out the rest. CONNECT MEANS CONNECTED Clicking a proxy does not just write it into the settings and hope. The extension applies it, asks the network for your address over HTTPS the same way a page would, and moves to the next candidate if that fails. What you end up on is a proxy that was carrying real traffic a second ago — or an honest "none of these work" instead of a browser that silently stops loading pages. IT CHANGES CHROME'S OWN PROXY SETTINGS This is a proxy extension, so it sets the proxy for the whole browser profile — you never have to open Chrome's proxy settings or your operating system's network panel to change IP address. Switch it off and the browser goes straight back to your direct connection, with no leftover configuration to undo. LEAK CHECKS, NOT LEAK CLAIMS • Blocks non-proxied WebRTC, the leak path that lets a site read your real IP while a proxy is active • Disables prefetch and preconnect, so nothing dials out ahead of the rules • A built-in leak test that verifies these rather than asserting them • A bypass list for hosts that should go direct WHAT IT IS NOT This is a developer tool, not a VPN and not an anonymity product. • It does not encrypt your traffic. A proxy is not a tunnel — over plain http:// the proxy operator can read and alter everything you send • It does not include proxy servers. You bring your own, from a provider you pay, or from the public lists • The optional public free-proxy lists are strangers' machines that nobody has vetted. The extension makes you read that warning before it will fetch one. Do not use them for banking, email, work accounts, or anything you would mind a stranger reading PRIVACY No analytics, no tracking, no accounts, no remote code. Your proxy list and its credentials are stored by Chrome on your own machine and are never transmitted anywhere except to the proxy you configured. Testing a proxy makes a request to a public IP-lookup service — that is how "which IP did I come out on" is answered at all — and the speed test uses Cloudflare's public endpoint. Full detail in the privacy policy. PERMISSIONS, IN PLAIN WORDS "Read and change all your data on all websites" is what Chrome says when an extension can route your traffic. That is the product: an extension that could not touch every request could not proxy them. It is used to apply proxy rules, answer proxy password prompts, and count bytes for the speed meter. Nothing is read, logged, or sent anywhere.
