💡 Before starting this guide, make sure you have:

How To configure My Proxy On ixBrowser

ixBrowser profile Management home screen and how to create a New Profile

Like many anti-browsers, you’ll have no data to display on the first launch. Follow this guide and ixBrowser will have no secret for you!

Step 1: Create a Profile

To create a new profile, make sure that you are in the Profile List section:

→ Browser Profile (1) → Profile List (2) → Double-check the tab (3)

To open the creation form, click on “+ Create Profile” (4).

💡 If you try to create a profile with no pre-configured proxy, ixBrowser will display this message:

Warning message when creating a profile with no proxy on the ixBrowser application

You can either:

  • Purchase a dynamic or static proxy
  • Or continue the creation process using your own proxy

Since, for this guide, we will use only proxies provided by anyIP.io, you can click on “Continue to Create” to resume the creation process using a custom proxy configuration.

Step 2: Configure The Proxy

The form is well-designed and separated into different sections.

Open the “Proxy Configuration” tab to configure your proxy.

As we told you earlier, for this guide, we will use a custom proxy provided by anyIP.io

An example of how to configure a custom proxy on ixBrowser during the profile creation
  1. First, you need to select the “Proxy Method,” to specify a personal proxy, you need to select “custom.”
    1. You can quickly get a fast and reliable proxy from anyIP.io.
  2. Select the Proxy type. For our example we’ve configured a SOCKS5 proxy.

💡 ixBrowser allows you to choose among the most popular protocols available on the market, such as:

  • HTTP
  • HTTPS (I’m glad to see HTTPS here. Not many anti-browser offer this option)
  • SOCKS5
  • SSH
  1. Specify the proxy host, for this guide: portal.anyip.io
  2. Then enter the proxy port, here: 1080
  3. Finally, you need to copy/paste the proxy username
  4. and your proxy password

💡 Before creating your profile, you can perform a quick proxy connection test by clicking on “Proxy Detection”

Finally, click “Create” (7) to save and create your profile.

Step 3: Run The Profile

Once you’ve saved your profile, you will see it in the Profile List as follow:

ixBrowser browser profile’s list and run your profiles

Click on “Open” (1) to start the profile, and you’ll see a new instance of your browser opening with this icon on the taskbar:

The number and color you see on the icon help identify your profile.

It is a simple yet very handy addition, especially when managing multiple profiles simultaneously.

💡 Little tips: you can open multiple profiles simultaneously by using this button:

Open in batches button in the ixBrowser application

The starting page look like this:

ixBrowser's browser homepage with a quick overview of your profile settings
  1. Since we choose an “Amazon” platform profile, the browser automatically opens a tab with the Amazon website
  2. You can see the profile name: here “anyIP - amazon”
  3. Since we used a US proxy located in California, you can double-check your location
  4. Here is the profile ID. It can be helpful to make sure you’re using the correct profile
  5. A quick recap of the user agent you’re using (randomly generated by ixBrowser or manually by you)

‍Once you finish with your tasks, you can quickly stop a profile by closing the browser as you would with a classic browser or clicking on the “turn off” icon on the profile list.

How To Manage Your Proxies On ixBrowser

ixBrowser offers an excellent dedicated interface to manage your proxies.

To access it, you need to click on “Proxy Ressources” (1) and then “Static Proxy” (2).

If you have followed this guide from the beginning, you’ll see at least one proxy on the list (3).

This is a nice view where you can directly see the basic, yet essential, information:

  • number of proxies available
  • proxy type and all associated credential
  • how many times the proxy is being used, and by which profiles

Add a Single Proxy

How to add a single proxy on ixBrowser

Open the form by clicking “+ Add” (1) and fill the form with all the needed information:

How to configure a profile with a proxy on the ixBrowser antidetect application
  1. Select the proxy protocol you want to use. For this new proxy, we’ve selected HTTP
  2. Enter here the hostname and port. For an anyIP.io HTTP proxy, it’s portal.anyip.io:1080
  3. If your proxy requires authentication, you need to add the username and password
  4. You can test your proxy using this button

💡 ixBrowser offers a nice feature for Chinese users. You can either test your proxy using the Global line or through the Chinese line:

  1. You can add a small description/note to your proxy
  2. Once you’re done and the proxy is tested, you can save it by clicking on “Confirm”

Your new proxy will be in the proxy list.

Add a Proxy Batch

Adding a proxy one by one is easy and can be enough for most users. But if you need to manage 100 proxies, ixBrowser will make you happy :)

Step by step process of importing bulk proxies on ixBrowser

Click on “Batch Operation” (1), then “Batch Import” (2).

While I would prefer to have a big HTML textarea field to copy/paste all my proxies instantly, the batch importation process is quite similar to the process in Ghost Browser, and it’s working just fine.

You’ll need to edit an XLSX file to prepare all your proxies for the importation.

  1. You can upload your file here
  2. ixBrowser allows you to download a template and example file. It is very useful to avoid any issues.

💡 here is the quick test we’ve made using the sample document

Sample document for batch proxy importation on the ixBrowser application
  1. Once you’ve uploaded your file, you’ll see it here
  2. You can start the importation by clicking on “Create”

The importation can take a few seconds depending on how many profiles you’re creating. You’ll then see your new proxy in the Proxy List.

Edit Your Proxy

It’s super easy to edit your proxies; you simply need to click on the “edit” (1) button that you’ll see in the “Operation” column

ixBrowser operation buttons menu to edit, view or delete a proxy

You’ll also find a view and a delete button.

The view button will open a wider view of your proxy information, which is much easier to read than the list.

Browser Profile Management

Advanced Fingerprint Configuration

A crucial part of an anti-detect browser is the fingerprint quality.

ixBrowser gives you the option to customize your fingerprint.

Depending on your skills, I would not recommend editing those settings. . Unless you’re misconfiguring it, ixBrowser offers a great and solid fingerprint for your usage!

The following screenshots show my results on iphey.com and pixelscan.net, which are excellent online services for controlling your fingerprint.

There is nothing more I want from an anti-detect browser than a consistent and trustworthy fingerprint! Well done ixBrowser!

How To Edit a Profile

One by one

Options menu for a profile on ixBrowser
  1. If you click on this button, you’ll open the edit form. It is the same as the creation form and allows you to edit your profile completely.
  2. Use this “Star” button to set this profile as your favorite.
  3. Click on the “tree dot” button to access the contextual menu. You can access advanced options from this menu, like cookies & bookmarks settings, password management, etc.

Batch editing

‍ixBrowser allows you to perform batch operations, such as editing your profiles.I’ve created another profile to illustrate this feature.

How to batch-edit profiles in the ixBrowser application
  1. Select the profile you need to interact with
  2. Open the “More Batch Operations” menu
  3. Select “Edit Profiles”
  4. Select the settings you want to edit.

The form will look like this:

While the UI is still a bit raw, it’s a very clever feature. You’ll be able to easily edit multiple profile this way.

  1. You can quickly select which settings you want to edit by selecting here
  2. Those buttons will allow you to apply the modification to all profile
  3. Here, you can edit each profile one by one
  4. Finally, click on “Confirm” to save all your modifications
