Incogniton stands out as a widely used anti-detect browser choice. Like its counterparts, it lets users create and manage individual chrome browser profiles with a unique fingerprint and proxy settings.

At anyIP, we provide mobile and residential proxies around the world. Our high-quality proxies allow our clients to use them for many purposes, including scraping data, managing social accounts, advertising, or simply bypassing geo-restriction. Years of experience in the field give us the know-how to exceed client expectations consistently.

This tutorial will help you integrate an anyIP.io proxy easily into Incogniton.

💡 To follow this guide, you will need:

How To Integrate a Proxy on Your Browser Profile

Incogniton has a well-designed UI for creating new profiles. Although there are many optional features, the process is simple and natural.

Try it yourself by following this guide.

Step 1: Create a new profile

  1. Enter a name for your new browser profile.
  2. Click on “Add proxy” to configure the proxy.

Step 3: Configure the proxy

The most important step! Get your credentials ready for the proxy configuration!

An example of how to configure a custom proxy on Incogniton during the profile creation
  1. Select the protocol you want to use. Incogniton is compatible with HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxy.
  2. Enter your host and port information. For our example, we use our host:
    • portal.anyip.io:1080
  3. Enter your username.
  4. Then, you can type your password.
  5. After reviewing your proxy details, click on “Check proxy” to test the proxy connection.

When your proxy is working well, Incogniton will automatically display the details like:

  • IP
  • GMT offset
  • Country name and code
  • Timezone/timecode
  • Latitude and Longitude

Confirming that you have the right proxy configuration quickly is very useful.

💡 Incogniton allows you to paste a proxy configuration from your clipboard. To do so, the format must be:

PLAIN
URL:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD
PLAIN
portal.anyip.io:1080:user_XXX,type_residential,country_CA,session_XXXX:SecretPass

Step 4: Save Your Profile

Save your new profile by clicking on “Create profile” (1).

How to manage your proxies

In my opinion, proxy management is one of the most essential features of an anti-detect browser. Incogniton offers a great dedicated dashboard that allows you to create, edit, and test your proxies simultaneously.

  1. Tick the checkbox if you want to remove the proxies from browser profiles too.
  2. Click on “Continue” to confirm.

Create a single proxy one by one

If you're using incogniton for personal use, you'll love it. Easy and straightforward.

How to add a single or multiple proxies on Incogniton

Click on “New proxy” or “Create Single Proxy” (1) to open the creation form.

Form example of how to add proxy one by one on Incogniton
  1. Choose the proxy type for your proxy. You can choose HTTP, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5.
  2. Enter a name to identify your proxy quickly. For this guide, we named it "anyIP - Germany."
  3. Enter the host:port for your proxy. Here: portal.anyip.io:1080
  4. Enter your proxy’s username and password.
  5. If your provider has this feature, you can specify the rotation API URL here. 
  6. Review, and click on the “>>” button to add a proxy to the pre-saved list.
  7. You will see the list. Looking at the screenshot, you can see that I've already pre-saved one proxy for the example "anyIP - Thailand."
  8. Once you’ve added all your proxies one by one, you can click “Save proxies” to save them all.

💡 You can add as many proxies as you need one by one this way. It's perfect to add one or two proxies, but if you need to add more, the next section will be interesting ;)

  • a CSV file import;
  • an excel file;
  1. Click on “Standard proxy format.”
  2. Select the proxy type you want to add.
  3. Copy/paste all the proxies you want to add.
  4. Click “Check” to review all your proxies.

Now, one of the main reasons to use an anti-detect browser is the ability to use a custom fingerprint setting to mask your real one.

But how can you be certain that your fingerprint is trustworthy?

Head up to iphey.com. This website will check each parameter of your fingerprint and will let you know if you have a leak.

  • Our browser looks as real as a “normal” browser.
  • Thanks to the proxy provided by anyIP.io, our location and IP address are legit.

You can now navigate without risking your data to leak.
