"Why Does My Browser Need to Be Launched with the Global Proxy? Any Workarounds?"

8 Replies, 1080 Views

Hey! So, the reason your browser needs to be launched with the global proxy is that some browsers, like Chrome or Firefox, don’t always inherit the system-wide proxy settings automatically. It’s a bit annoying, but it’s how they’re designed.

If you’re using a VPN, you could try setting up a browser extension like FoxyProxy for Firefox or Proxy SwitchyOmega for Chrome. They let you manage proxy settings directly in the browser, so you don’t have to mess with system settings every time.

Also, check if your VPN has a browser extension—some VPNs like NordVPN or ExpressVPN have their own extensions that handle this automatically. Hope that helps!
