Ghost Browser is a web browser designed specifically for productivity and efficiency, particularly for developers, marketers, and other professionals who need to manage multiple online accounts simultaneously. Its functionality can be supercharged by proxies – and in this article, we’ll show you how to optimize your browsing experience using Ghost proxy configurations.
For Windows
Ghost Browser is based on the Chromium engine, so configuring proxy settings is similar to other Chromium-based browsers. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to edit proxies:
1. Access settings: Click Browser Settings on the bottom left menu. Alternatively, press the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the browser window to open the menu. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
2. Open proxy settings: In the Settings menu, scroll down and click on Advanced to expand more options.
Under the System section, click on Open your computer’s proxy settings. (Alternatively, you can type “proxy” in the Windows search bar and open the Settings app from there.)
3. Configure proxy: This will open Windows proxy server settings. Here, you can perform the manual proxy setup and input the proxy server address and port number. If you need to configure specific types of proxies (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SOCKS), you can do so by entering the appropriate information in the provided fields. Apply the changes by clicking Save.
4. Restart Ghost Browser: To ensure that the new proxy settings take effect, restart the browser.
For macOS
1. Access Ghost Browser proxy settings: Click on the three vertical dots (menu icon) in the upper right corner of the browser window. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
2. Open proxy settings: In the Settings menu, scroll down and click on Advanced to expand more options.
Under the System section, click on Open your computer’s proxy settings. This will open the Network settings of your macOS. (Alternatively, you can click the Apple icon, open System Preferences from the drop-down menu, and access network settings from there.)
3. Configure network proxy settings: In the Network settings window, you will see a list of network services on the left. Select the active network connection (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.) you are using. Click on the Advanced button in the lower right corner.
4. Enter proxy details: In the Advanced settings window, go to the Proxies tab. You will see various proxy options like Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), FTP Proxy, and SOCKS Proxy. Check the box next to the type of proxy you want to configure. Enter the proxy server address and port number in the corresponding fields. If the proxy requires login credentials, check the Proxy server requires password box and enter your username and password.
5. Apply the changes: Once you have entered all the necessary proxy information, click OK to close the Advanced settings window. Click Apply in the Network settings window to save and apply your changes.
6. Restart Ghost Browser: To ensure the new proxy settings take effect, close and restart the browser.
