How to Set Up a Proxy in ixBrowser: Step-by-Step Guide
ixBrowser allows users to create separate browser profiles with their own connection settings, browser fingerprints, and device parameters. This makes it easier to manage multiple accounts simultaneously and keep work environments isolated within a single browser.
To ensure each profile uses its own network connection, ixBrowser includes built-in proxy support. This allows you to assign unique IP addresses to different profiles and choose the appropriate geolocation for each session.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of configuring proxies in ixBrowser and explain the key settings required before launching a profile.
Why Use Proxies in ixBrowser
When working with multiple profiles, it’s important to manage not only browser settings but also network connectivity.
Proxies in ixBrowser help you:
- assign separate IP addresses to different profiles
- choose a specific country or region for your connection
- distribute tasks across multiple network routes
- reduce the likelihood of additional verification checks
- manage network settings independently for each profile
