  • The other two options are not as effective and fast, but totally free, choose the appropriate for you, by default you have the "random" choice, used if you want to fake your location to access services that are blocked where you are but available everywhere else (e.g. YouTube in Germany).
  • If the service that you want is specific to some other country the last option is the way to go, and you must provide the country name, as you type a list of available countries will appear, just select the desired one, if is not on the list just try again later, this list changes each 5 minutes according to availability.
    any country option
  • Then on the tab "Exceptions", you can create a list that includes websites that are not affected by Stealthy. The URLs entered in this list are accessed normally, as if the extension is not even added to the Chrome browser.
  • On the tab "Misc" you find the option for "Incognito only", it means that Stealthy only applies the proxy settings for incognito windows, which comes in handy if you intend to use the extension just for certain web pages.
    If you want to use this option you also need to go to the extensions manager page (chrome://extensions/?id=ieaebnkibonmpbhdaanjkmedikadnoje), find Stealthy and check the "Allow in incognito" box.
    Allow in incognito
  • You also have the option of automatically turning Stealthy on when you start Chrome.
  • When you make any changes make sure of scroll down and press Save.
