chrome://settings/?search=proxy in Chrome. If Wachee is controlling this setting you will see something like this:
If another extension is controlling this setting, you should disable it for Wachee to work.

here. Wachee does not affect any other website’s traffic.
My video quality is poor
Please make sure that your internet speed is fast enough because Wachee will not boost your internet speed.
If you are using our Free Mode, your video quality is SD, and we do not guarantee the speed of Free Mode.
Our 10-day trial is in HD quality, meaning you have better quality than in Free Mode.
Wachee Premium has the best quality possible for streaming, UHD quality.
Note: If you are a Premium user but you still have problems in your connection or quality, you might be too far from our nearest server. Please let us know by sending an email about your problem and mentioning the country you’re accessing Wachee from. Contact us at
Support@Wachee.coWill Wachee slow down my internet?
Since Wachee only tunnels specific streaming services traffic, no it won’t slow down your whole connection. But for those streaming services, it might slow them down a little since their data is being rerouted through a server outside your country.
I can’t watch Netflix or Hulu
In some cases restarting the Chrome browser might solve the problem.
If Netflix / Hulu does not open:
- First, make sure that your Wachee extension is connected.
- If Wachee is connected but you still can’t open the site, try hard reloading your streaming website by pressing Ctrl/Command + Shift + R or by holding the Shift button and clicking on the Reload button.
- If that doesn’t work either, you can try restarting your chrome. You can do so by going to the browser address bar, typing chrome://restart and pressing the Enter key.
(You can restore your last session by pressing Ctrl/Command + Shift + T)
If you encountered Netflix / Hulu proxy error:
Try disconnecting and reconnecting Wachee. That might solve the problem. But if it doesn’t, take the following steps:
- Close Netflix / Hulu.
- Disconnect the Wachee extension.
- Open Netflix / Hulu and close it again. (to clear the website cache)
- Connect Wachee.
- Open Netflix / Hulu and stream as usual.
I can’t watch BBC iPlayer
Wachee used to support BBC iPlayer but currently stop supporting it and has the plan to resume it maybe with a new chrome extension.
