A proxy is a server that sits between your device and the internet. Instead of websites seeing your real IP address, they see the proxy IP.

In Multilogin, proxies help you keep accounts separate, location-consistent, and easier to manage across browser profiles and Android cloud phones.

Here’s the quick proxy picker:

• Sticky residential proxies: best for browser profiles, account management, and flexible web workflows | Built into Multilogin
• Sticky mobile proxies: best for Android cloud phones, native mobile apps, and mobile-first social accounts | Built into Multilogin
• ISP proxies: best for stable IPs, long sessions, account warm-up, account maintenance, and e-commerce tasks | Built into Multilogin
• Datacenter proxies: best for simple speed-focused tasks | Bring your own

You don’t need to search for a separate proxy provider to get started. Multilogin offers its own premium residential, mobile, and ISP proxies right inside the app, so you can set up mobile and browser profiles from one dashboard.

Why use proxies in Multilogin?

While Multilogin masks all essential browser fingerprints, a proxy ensures your real IP and IP-dependent parameters stay hidden – keeping you undetected. 

Use proxies to:

• Keep your real IP private
• Match profiles to the right location
• Keep different accounts separated
• Reduce account-linking risks caused by shared IPs
• Keep IP and location signals more consistent

Low-quality proxies can:

• 🔍 Expose your real IP
• 🚫 End up on blacklists
• ⚠️ Trigger website restrictions or bans 

Let’s keep it simple and help you pick the right proxy type.

What are the proxy types?

When juggling multiple online profiles, picking the right IP-masking solution (aka a proxy) is a total game-changer. But with so many options, where do you even start? Let’s break it down so you can find the best fit for your needs.

HTTP(S) vs. SOCKS

• HTTP proxies: work with regular web traffic and are a good fit for browser-based tasks like opening websites, logging in, and managing accounts
• HTTPS proxies: support encrypted website traffic, which helps keep the connection secure when you use HTTPS websites
• SOCKS proxies: handle more types of traffic than HTTP(S), so they’re useful for apps, tools, and workflows that need extra flexibility

Residential vs. mobile vs. datacenter

• Residential proxies: use IPs from real internet service providers, so they’re a strong fit for browser profiles, multi-account work, flexible locations, and everyday web tasks
• Mobile proxies: use mobile network IPs, like 4G, 5G, or LTE, so they’re great for mobile-first workflows, native apps, social media work, and Android cloud phones
• Datacenter proxies: use IPs from datacenter networks, so they’re usually fast and budget-friendly, but they may be easier for websites to flag

Static (ISP) vs. rotating 

• Static (ISP) proxies: keep the same IP while the proxy is active, so they’re a strong fit for long sessions, account warm-up, account maintenance, and profiles that need a consistent location
• Rotating proxies: change IPs automatically, so they’re useful for scraping, research, SEO checks, ad verification, and workflows where using many IPs makes sense
