How to set up a proxy in Dolphin Anty (step by step)

Dolphin Anty is an antidetect browser: instead of one browser with many tabs, it gives you many isolated browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint, cookies and storage. That isolation is only half the job, though. A unique fingerprint behind your real home IP still ties every profile back to you — so each profile needs its own proxy. Here's how to attach one cleanly.

What you need before you start

A proxy is just four pieces of information, usually written as ip:port:login:password:

• Host (IP) — the proxy's address, e.g. 188.42.10.7
• Port — e.g. 8080
• Login and password — the credentials tied to that proxy

You'll also pick a type. Dolphin Anty supports HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5. Either works for most sites; SOCKS5 handles a wider range of traffic and tends to play nicer with tools that aren't strictly HTTP. If your provider gives you both on the same address, HTTP is the safe default and SOCKS5 is there when you need it. A full proxy line looks like:

188.42.10.7:8080:user1234:s3cr3tpass

Step 1 — Add the proxy to the proxy list

You can enter a proxy while creating a profile, but it's cleaner to save it once in the shared list and reuse it:

1. Open Dolphin Anty and go to the Proxies section (or the proxy field inside profile creation).
2. Click New proxy.
3. Choose the connection type — HTTP or SOCKS5 — to match what your provider issued.
4. Enter the host, port, login and password in their fields. If you paste a single ip:port:login:password string, Dolphin usually splits it into the fields automatically.
5. Give the proxy a recognisable name so you can find it later.
6. Click Check proxy. Dolphin will test the connection and show the detected IP and country. Save it.

Step 2 — Create a profile and assign the proxy

1. Go to Browser profiles and click Create profile.
2. Set the platform, name and any fingerprint options you want.
3. In the Proxy section of the profile, choose From list and select the proxy you just saved (or paste a new one inline).
4. Save the profile.

That's the core rule of antidetect work: one IP per profile. Reusing a single proxy across many profiles links them together in the eyes of the site — same IP, different "people," instant red flag. Assign a distinct proxy to each profile you intend to keep separate.

Step 3 — Launch and verify

Open the profile. Once the browser window loads, go to any "what is my IP" service (or an IP-check page) and confirm:

• The IP shown is the proxy's, not your home address.
• The country/city matches what you expect from that proxy.

If the profile also has a timezone or WebRTC setting, check those line up with the proxy's location too — a US IP paired with a Moscow timezone is exactly the kind of mismatch antidetect setups exist to avoid. Dolphin can sync timezone and geolocation to the proxy automatically; leave that on.

Quick troubleshooting

• Authentication fails / proxy won't connect. Almost always a wrong login or password, or a stray space when pasting. Re-copy the login:password carefully and re-run Check proxy.
• Wrong port. HTTP and SOCKS5 often live on different ports for the same address. Using the SOCKS port with the HTTP type (or vice versa) fails silently. Match the type to the port your provider listed.
• Check passes but the site blocks you. The credentials are fine; the IP itself is the problem — likely a shared or already-flagged address. This is why a clean, dedicated IP matters.
• IP shows your real location. The profile launched without the proxy assigned. Reopen the profile settings and confirm the proxy is selected in the Proxy section.

Wrapping up

The whole flow is short: save the proxy, assign it to a profile, launch, verify the IP. The discipline is keeping one dedicated address per profile and making sure the location details agree.

Greyside proxies work with Dolphin Anty out of the box — HTTP and SOCKS5 on the same address, credentials that stay yours, from $1.50/mo. Add one to a profile, run the IP check, and you're ready to work.
