Create your first browser profile

Create a new browser profile in the Incogniton desktop app. We provide a short video walkthrough, alongside a step-by-step text guide.

What you'll learn

• Create your first browser profile

• Choose basic profile settings and add a proxy (optional)

• Start a profile or more

1

Open profile creation

From the dashboard, select Create new profile to open the profile creation screen.

2

Set up basic profile details

On the profile creation overview screen, enter a profile name and, if needed, assign it to a group. Choose the operating system and browser version for the profile. Match the operating system to your physical device, and use the most recent browser version for better compatibility and stability.

Each profile comes with a unique fingerprint by default. Use Randomize fingerprint to refresh the browser attributes - you’ll see some of the updated values reflected in the profile summary.

You can also adjust other browser and fingerprint settings, such as timezone, WebRTC, and extensions. Only adjust these settings if you need a specific behaviour.

3

Add a proxy (optional)

Proxies help define the network identity for a profile. Without a proxy, the profile connects using your current network IP, but your fingerprint remain masked.

• To use Incogniton’s built-in shared proxies, toggle on the Free unblocked proxies and select a country from the list.

• If you intend to use a dedicated proxy instead, select Add proxy on the profile creation screen. Enter the connection type and the proxy details provided by your proxy provider, then click the Check proxy button to confirm you have a valid proxy. You can get great proxy deals from the Incogniton Proxy Shop.

4

Create and start the profile

Select Create profile to finish creating the profile. Start the profile from the profile list to open the browser window and enjoy browsing with true isolation.

From here, you can create and run multiple profiles at the same time, or create profiles in bulk as your needs grow, and continue exploring Incogniton’s tools for managing profiles at scale.

Troubleshooting tips

Browser profile does not launch

Restart the app and try again. If the issue persists, close all running profiles and relaunch the app. In case all else fails, check out the manual install guide.

Proxy connection fails

Verify the proxy host, port, and authentication details provided by your proxy provider. Make sure the proxy type matches the selected connection type. If things stay the same, contact your proxy provider.
