Where can I find the application?
I feel like it’s important to note that, unlike the majority of anti-browsers, Multilogin is now a web app.
According to their support, you can use it on any browser. During our tests, we used it on the well-known Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Now, let’s jump into the guide.
How to create, start and edit a browser profile on Multilogin
When you open the app for the first time, Multilogin will invite you to directly create your first profile.
To do so, you will see two options, Quick profile (1) or Create Profile (2). We will talk about the quick creation later.
Step 1: Create a profile
Open the profile creation by clicking on the “Create profile” button:
The UI of Multilogin is very fluid and well design. You don’t have too much information on the screen, this allow you to focus on the important part of the profile configuration.
Let’s break down the form quickly.
The basic info section:
- Name: here is where you can specify your profile’s name
- Note: leave any notes to save details informations of your profile
- Operating system: you can select the operating system you want your browser to emulate
- Storage: A nice option that comes with Multilogin is the option to save the profile on the cloud. Very useful if you need to share it with colleague or even to have access to it anywhere without your personal computer.
- Browser: Like AdsPower, you can choose a browser type:
- Mimic X is built on Chrome, we choose this option for the guide
- Stealthfox X is built on Firefox
The proxy section:
- Proxy: here you can select the type of proxy you want to use. For this guide we went for a custom US residential proxy
- IP:PORT (if you don’t need authentication)
portal.anyip.io:2000portal.anyip.io:1080:user_xxxx:myPasswordMutliLogin displays your proxy IP and the region you are located in; you can see that I'm well situated in America/New_York for our test.
Profile summary and advanced (optional)
On the right part of the form, you can see the summary of your profile. We have just setup the basic information but if you need a more advanced configuration of your fingerprint your can use the tab  “Location” or “Advanced”.
By default, we do not recommend to update those sections as Multilogin is already doing a great job by masking all the important settings:
Save the profile
You can now click on “Create profile” on the top right of the page to save your profile:
- Select the agent depending on your OS
- Once the agent is installed, launch it to connect it with the web-app
Step 2: Run the profile
Now that you’ve saved your profile, you should see it on the main page.
You can click on “Launch” to start a new browser instance using your new profile.
You will see a custom icon on your dock/toolbar that will look like this:
Since we’ve choose the Mimic X browser, we have a chromium based browser that is starting.
- On the first start, Multilogin will always open this page, a very basic “what is my IP” page. Unfortunately, there is not much information here.
- Make sure that you are on the correct profile by checking the profile name here.
To get more information about your profile, you can run a quick test on pixelscan.net or iphey.com
How to edit a profile
To edit or update your profile you can clic on the triple dot button associate to your profile.
From this menu, you’ll have access to the Edit menu. This will open the exact same form as the creation menu, you can then easily update your profile as you need.
Don’t forget to save any change you’ll make.
What about the quick creation?
If you don’t have time to spare and need one or more profiles out of the box in a second, you can use the “Quick profile” feature.
To be honest, I think that this feature is not very useful if you need only one quick profile. Indeed the time to create the profile is about the same as a basic one (as long as you keep all the advance settings in auto).
One big advantage is that as soon as you close the quick profile, all data related to it will be directly deleted.
On the other hand, if you need more than one profile, then it can be game changer.
Click on “Quick profile” to open the form.
The form is very similar as when creating a new profile using the basic method. Only two differences can be spotted:
- Number of profiles: you can specify how many profiles you want to create. You can create maximum 10 profiles instantly, which can be really helpful depending on your needs.
- Format: You can choose to use one or multiple proxy for your profiles
When you select "Proxy list," the form is slightly different on the proxy part:
If you selected “Proxy list,” you’ll have to specify all your proxies in a list (1) where one line = one proxy and using the same format as before (IP:port:login:password)
You can also choose how the proxy will be connected to your profiles:
- Sequentially: your proxies are going to be used from the first to the last proxy in a classic order.
- Randomly without repetition: well like in the title, your proxies are will be set in random order and use only once.
Hit “Launch” when you’re all set and enjoy your multiple quick profile.
How to manage my proxies?
As strange as it can be, Multilogin doesn’t offer a dedicate UI to manage your proxies… This is a shame for an app that offer no free plan.
The way it currently work is simple. The proxy is saved on a profile and to edit it you need to directly edit the profile. If you use the same proxy on more than one profiles, then good luck…
Compare to many other competitor like Dolphin Anty for instance, you have no option to easily use the same proxy on multiple profiles without having to write all the credential over and over.
This option is badly needed!
Use the Multilogin API to manage your browser profiles.
For those with advanced technical skills seeking an alternative method to manage their profiles and proxies, Multilogin provides a remote API.
To learn everything about the API, have a look at the official documentation using the following link Multilogin API.
