How to set up a proxy server in Origin

Why a proxy is needed for Origin

Origin is a platform for purchasing Electronic Arts products, which has its local restrictions. Because of them, users in some countries are faced with the problem of buying games. Setting up a proxy server will help you bypass all blocking. It will change your IP address and "teleport" the device to another country where the purchase is allowed. Also with a proxy, you will be able to:

  • Reduce traffic consumption and speed up the gaming process.
  • Use bots to complete games.
  • Buy your favorite games from anywhere in the world.
  • Bypass not only regional but also local/ISP blocking.

Therefore, to use the Origin platform safely and without restrictions, you need a proxy server.

Proxy settings in Origin

There are two ways to set up a proxy for Origin: through Windows settings and the optional Proxifier service. It will not be possible to install a proxy in Origin itself, since the system does not support the use of such tools to bypass restrictions.

Proxy settings in Origin through Windows

  1. Click on the Windows icon and go to "Settings".

The disadvantage of this method is that the proxy will work for all programs and browsers on the device. If you want to set up a proxy exclusively for Origin, then you need to download Proxifier and follow the instructions below.

Setting up a proxy in Origin through Proxifier

  1. Open the Proxifier program.
  2. Open the "Profile” category, and then select "Proxy Servers".
