If you use some kind of a software, please make sure there is an appropriate Windows/MacOS version. Then you simply enter your proxies into the software proxy settings.
Proxies can also be configured to work across multiple devices, such as phones and PCs, ensuring consistent IP masking and secure browsing. However, each device requires separate configuration to function properly.
If you are going to use your proxies manually, the OS version is irrelevant because you will need to add them to your browser. You can add them to any browser like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer.
Additionally, when a proxy is set up on your computer, it can be used concurrently across different browsers, ensuring consistent IP masking and privacy.
This is how you can set up our Proxies on Chrome browser both on Windows and MacOS.
Another way is to use a Chrome extension like FoxyProxy:

This extension allows you to switch between proxies quickly.
Setting Up Proxies on Multiple Devices
If you set up a proxy on one device, you can later configure it on another device. This flexibility allows you to extend proxy usage across your devices as needed. For example, you can use the same proxy IP for both your phone and PC, but you must configure it separately on each device. Some applications, such as the SuperProxy app, may assist in this process.
Can I Use the Same Proxy on Multiple Devices Simultaneously?
Yes, you can use the same proxy on multiple devices at the same time. This means that a single proxy can be configured and utilized on devices such as a computer and a phone, or a mobile phone and a laptop, simultaneously. This functionality is particularly useful for users who need consistent proxy settings across different devices for tasks like browsing, data scraping, or accessing region-specific content. When setting up the proxy on multiple devices, ensure that:
The proxy service you are using supports simultaneous connections. Most modern proxy services, including PrivateProxy.me, allow this functionality.
You configure the proxy settings correctly on each device. This typically involves entering the proxy IP address and port number in the network settings of your devices.
Using the same proxy on multiple devices does not typically affect its performance, but it is always a good idea to check the terms of service of your proxy provider to confirm any limitations on simultaneous usage.
Shared Proxies and Device Compatibility
Shared proxies are another option for users who need to connect multiple devices. These proxies can be used on multiple devices simultaneously, offering a cost-effective solution for managing proxy connections across a range of devices.
Most modern proxy services, including PrivateProxy.me, support simultaneous connections on multiple devices, making them a versatile option for users.
How can I set up your proxy service in Proxifier?
Proxifier routes traffic from apps and games that don't have built-in proxy settings — useful for anything outside your browser.
Download Proxifier for your OS from proxifier.com and install it.
Open Proxifier and go to Profile → Proxy Servers (Mac: Proxifier → Preferences → Proxies).
Click Add, then enter your proxy's hostname, port, and select HTTPS or SOCKS5 to match your proxy type.
Check Enabled, then enter your username and password under authentication.
Click OK to save, then Check to confirm the connection succeeds.
Go to Profile → Proxification Rules to choose whether all apps route through the proxy, or only specific ones you select.
Click Apply.
If a specific app still isn't routing through the proxy, confirm it's included in your Proxification Rules and that the rule is set to use your proxy profile rather than "Direct."
