Proxy Setup in Octo Browser

Configuring Proxies in Octo Browser

Octo Browser is an anti-detect browser focused on fingerprint stability and teamwork. It supports all major proxy types and offers convenient management tools.

Adding Proxies

New Profile with Proxy

1. Click "New Profile" in Octo Browser
2. In the "Proxy" section, click the input field
3. Select type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
4. Fill in: Host, Port, Login, Password
5. Click "Check Proxy" — the check will show IP, country, city
6. Octo will automatically configure timezone and languages based on the proxy's geo-location
7. Create profile

Quick Entry

Paste proxy in a single line:
- socks5://user:pass@ip:port
- http://ip:port:user:pass
- ip:port:user:pass

Octo will automatically detect the format.

Proxy Manager

Centralized Management

1. Go to the "Proxies" section in the sidebar menu
2. Click "Add Proxy" to add one by one
3. Or "Bulk Add" for mass import
4. Organize proxies into folders (tags)

Bulk Import

1. Click "Bulk Add"
2. Paste a list of proxies (one per line)
3. Select a common type (if not specified in the line)
4. Click "Add"
5. All proxies will appear in the manager

Statuses

The manager shows for each proxy:
- Status: Active, Inactive, Error
- IP and geolocation
- To which profile it is linked
- Last check time

Automatic Fingerprint Adjustment

Octo Browser automatically configures the profile based on the proxy:

Timezone — determined by the proxy's IP. If the proxy is from New York — timezone EST.

Languages — primary language based on the proxy's country. Proxy from Germany — de-DE.

WebRTC — Octo substitutes the proxy's IP into WebRTC, preventing real IP leakage.

Geolocation — GPS coordinates based on the proxy's IP (can be disabled or configured manually).

DNS — Octo can configure DNS servers for the proxy's region.

Proxy Check

Built-in Check

When adding or in the manager, click "Check":
- Availability check
- Real IP detection
- Geolocation
- Type detection (residential/datacenter/mobile)
- Speed (ping, download)

Auto-check on Launch

Octo can automatically check proxies when launching a profile:
- If the proxy is not working — the profile will not launch
- Prevents real IP leakage
- Configurable in Settings

API and Automation

Octo API

Octo Browser provides a REST API for automation:
- Creating profiles with proxies
- Updating proxies for existing profiles
- Bulk management
- Launching/stopping profiles

Integration with Selenium/Playwright

Octo provides an endpoint for connecting Selenium/Playwright:
1. Launch a profile via API
2. Get the WebSocket URL
3. Connect Selenium/Playwright
4. Automate actions — all traffic goes through the profile's proxy

Teamwork

Proxy Sharing

1. Administrator adds proxies
2. Assigns access to team members
3. Each member sees only their own proxies
4. Logging: who used which proxy and when

Tags and Organization

Use tags for organization:
- #facebook — proxies for Facebook accounts
- #usa — US proxies
- #mobile — mobile proxies
- #expired — expired proxies for replacement

Recommendations

Proxy Selection by Task

Pre-launch Checklist

1. Proxy checked (Check Proxy — green)
2. Timezone matches proxy geo-location
3. Language matches country
4. WebRTC configured (Altered or Real — not Disabled for social networks)
5. DNS not leaking (check after launch)

Troubleshooting

Proxy not connecting

• Check type (HTTP vs SOCKS5 — common mistake)
• Ensure port is correct
• Check login/password
• If IP authorization — ensure your IP is whitelisted

Website sees real IP

• Check WebRTC settings — should be Real or Altered
• Ensure the proxy is actually working
• Check for DNS leak

Profile not launching

• Check proxy manually
• Try another proxy
• Check concurrency limits

Conclusion

Octo Browser offers powerful proxy management tools with automatic fingerprint adjustment, built-in checking, and a convenient API for automation. Team features make it a good choice for agencies and teams working with multiple accounts.
