    Set up manual SWG on Microsoft Edge browser


      Article Summary

      While it is possible to use a manual (third-party) browser extension to access NordLayer service, we highly recommend using our official browser extension because it offers a better user-experience.

      If your browser does not support our official extension, a third-party extension may be one of the alternatives available.

      In this guide, we will be using SmartProxy extension to give a brief example of the manual setup:

      1. Once you install the SmartProxy extension Press on the latter extension icon in your browser and select Settings
