Proxies in Multilogin

Multilogin takes a proxy per browser profile. This page shows what to enter so each profile leaves from its own residential or mobile IP.

What to enter

Choose the password

The password picks the tier and the session. A browser profile should keep one IP while you work in it, so give each profile its own session name:

standard_country-US_session-profile1_ttl-120

• standard is the tier. Use sticky_clean for long, multi-step work on strict sites, or mobile for a carrier IP.
• country-US is the country, as a two-letter code.
• session-profile1 is any name you choose. Use a different name for every profile.
• ttl-120 asks for the IP to be held for up to 120 minutes.

The datacenter tier has no sessions, so it changes IP on every new connection. Do not use it for profiles that stay signed in. See sticky sessions and connection format.

Add it to a profile

1. Open the profile's settings and go to the Proxy section.
2. Choose Custom.
3. Pick the protocol: HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5.
4. Enter the host and port, then your key as the login and the password from above.
5. Save. Multilogin checks the proxy when you save; "Proxy check failed" means it could not connect.

To reuse the same settings, save them in the proxy template manager. Change the session name for each profile, or every profile will share one IP.

One-line format

The Multilogin help center says you can paste all four parts into the "IP or host" field as IP:port:login:password:

proxy.privatebyte.com:3128:YOUR_KEY:standard_country-US_session-profile1_ttl-120

Check it worked

Open the profile and visit What is my IP. The address and country should match the proxy, not your own connection.

A residential IP can still drop. When it does, the session moves to a new address, so check you are still signed in before you carry on.

If the check fails

• Authentication error (407): the username must be your proxy API key, with no spaces. Copy it again from the Proxies page in the portal.
• Bad request (400): the password has a typo, or a modifier the tier does not support.
• No balance: add proxy credit, then try again.
• Wrong protocol: HTTP uses port 3128 and SOCKS5 uses port 1080. They are not interchangeable.

Use it within the rules

Follow our acceptable use policy and the terms of the sites you sign in to. A proxy changes where a profile connects from. It does not give you the right to hold accounts a platform has not allowed you to hold.
