Attach external proxy

Learn how to attach a custom proxy from a third-party provider to your browser profile.

If you have an existing proxy subscription from an external provider, you can connect those proxies directly to Incogniton. This page covers both ways to do it: adding a single proxy and adding multiple proxies at once.

Add a single proxy

Open Proxy Library from the left-side menu and click + New proxy in the top right. This opens the Add proxy form. If you need to add multiple proxies at once, there is a bulk add option covered in the next section.

1

Enter proxy details

Give the proxy an optional display name, then select your Connection type — HTTPS or SOCKS5 depending on what your provider supports. Enter the proxy address in the Proxy (ip:port) field, followed by your Proxy username and Proxy password.

You can also paste the full credentials string directly into the ip:port field using the format ip:port:username:password and Incogniton will populate the remaining fields automatically.

2

Configure group and proxy provider

Use the Group dropdown to organise the proxy into an existing group, or leave it as Unassigned.

The Proxy provider dropdown controls which database Incogniton uses to validate the proxy's geolocation. Main provider uses IPstack by default. If a proxy validates against the wrong location due to a vendor data issue or a database error, switch to Backup provider or Second backup provider to re-validate the same proxy against a different source.

Optionally, add any reference notes in the Notes field.

3

Enable rotating proxy (optional)

If your provider supports proxy rotation via an API, toggle on Rotating proxy and enter your provider's Proxy rotation API url. Incogniton will call this URL to get a new IP when a rotation is triggered.

4

Check and Add proxy

Click Check to verify the connection. If you want to stage multiple proxies before saving, click Add to list to queue this proxy and continue adding more. Once you are done, click Add to save the proxy to your library.

Add bulk proxies

If you have a list of proxies to add at once, use the bulk add option instead. From the Add proxy form, click Bulk add at the bottom left.

1

Paste your proxies

Paste your proxy list into the text field, one proxy per line, using the format ip:port:username:password. You can load your proxy list from a CSV file by selecting Load from file and choosing your file. Each row in the CSV should follow the same format.

2

Assign a group

Use the Group dropdown to assign all imported proxies to a group, or leave them as Unassigned.

3

Add the proxies

Click Add to save all proxies to your Library at once.

Once added, your proxies appear in the Proxy Library under the All Proxies tab. From there you can assign them to profiles, organise them into groups, and manage them without re-entering credentials.

To assign a proxy to a profile, open the profile editor, go to the Proxy tab, select Proxy Library, and click Select from Proxy Library.
