Antidetect browser guide

Octo Browser proxy setup

Octo Browser lets you paste a proxy line straight into a profile or save it to the Proxy Manager. This guide shows both, plus the settings that keep your fingerprint in line with the IP.

Which IPMusk proxy to pick

  • Long-lived accounts: Static ISP, one fixed IP per profile. The IP stays the same every day.
  • Short tasks: sticky Rotating Residential (1, 3, 10 or 30 minutes on one IP).
  • Scraping without logins: Rotating Residential. A new IP on every request will break logged-in sessions.
  • Budget work: Datacenter is cheaper but is not residential or ISP.

What you need

  • Octo Browser installed and signed in. The number of saved proxies depends on your subscription. Temporary proxies are unlimited on every tier.
  • An IPMusk proxy line.
  • Residential: dashboard → Residential → Connect (/app/residential/connect). Pick country, session type and protocol, then copy the line.
  • Static ISP or Datacenter: dashboard → Static ISP → Proxies (/app/isp/proxies) or Datacenter → Proxies (/app/datacenter/proxies). Open a proxy to see its host, port, username and password.
  • Use HTTP for Static ISP and Datacenter. Residential can use HTTP or SOCKS5.

Add a proxy to one profile

  1. 1
    Open the profile

    Create a new profile, or edit an existing one, and find the Proxy / VPN field.

  2. 2
    Set a new proxy

    Choose the option to set a new proxy. This creates a temporary proxy tied to that profile.

  3. 3
    Paste the line

    Click the host field ("Enter IP or domain") and paste. Octo reads host:port:username:password, username:password@host:port, and the same with a protocol in front, such as http://PROXY_HOST:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD or socks5://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXY_HOST:PORT. The fields fill in for you.

  4. 4
    Check the type

    Make sure the protocol is HTTP for Static ISP and Datacenter, and the one you picked on the Connect page for residential.

  5. 5
    Press Check proxy

    A green "Available" message with the country flag means it works.

  6. 6
    Save and start

    Leave "URL for IP Change" empty. Save the profile and press Start.

Add many proxies at once

Octo Browser's help pages do not describe a bulk-import button for proxies, so do not expect a file upload.

  1. 1
    Save each proxy to the Proxy Manager

    When adding a proxy, tick "Save to the Proxy Manager" and give it a clear name, like us-isp-01. After that you pick it from a list, with no retyping.

  2. 2
    Assign from the list

    In each profile, select the saved proxy in the Proxy / VPN field. Keep one Static ISP proxy per profile.

  3. 3
    Manage in bulk

    In the Proxy Manager, select many proxies to check or delete them together. The list shows status, country, IP and time zone.

  4. 4
    For large batches, use the API

    Octo's automation API has a create-proxy call and lets you send a proxy with a profile. Map IPMusk's host, port, username and password to the matching fields, plus a type and a title.

Match the fingerprint to the proxy

  • Languages, Timezone, Geolocation: leave the defaults. Octo reads the external IP when the profile starts and sets them to match. Do not set them to "real".
  • WebRTC: keep "Based on IP" so it shows the proxy IP. "Disable UDP" is a stricter option if you see leaks.
  • Do not share one Static ISP address across many profiles.

Check it works

  1. 1
    Start the profile

    Octo checks the connection on launch. Wait for the window to open.

  2. 2
    Open an IP checker

    The IP and country should match your IPMusk proxy.

  3. 3
    Compare time zone and language

    They should fit the same country.

  4. 4
    Run a WebRTC test

    It should show the proxy IP, not your own.

If it fails

  • Auth error or 407: copy the username and password again from IPMusk and remove any spaces.
  • Wrong protocol: a SOCKS5 line pasted as HTTP fails. Match the protocol to what you chose on the IPMusk Connect page. Static ISP and Datacenter use HTTP.
  • Timeout or "Unavailable": Octo notes the checker can be blocked by your internet provider even when the proxy works. Try a phone hotspot.
  • Geo mismatch: IP databases differ slightly. Check two or three sites, and confirm the country on the IPMusk Connect page.
  • IPv6 host: write it in brackets, like [host]:port:username:password.
