Before you start
First, make sure you have the following details (if you don’t, ask your proxy provider):
- Proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5)
- Proxy IP address or hostname
- Proxy port
Second, determine if your proxy is password- or IP-authenticated:
- Password-authenticated: make sure your proxy details include a username and a password
- IP-authenticated: make sure your local IP is whitelisted in your proxy provider's dashboard

How to use proxies
Regular profiles
- In profile settings, go to the "Proxy" section
- Select "Custom"
- Choose a protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5)
- Enter proxy details (if it's IP-authenticated, leave "Login" and "Password" fields blank)
Paste proxy details into the "IP or host" field in the format IP:port:login:password and other fields will be populated automatically.
- Click "Check proxy":
- "Proxy check passed" means that Multilogin successfully connected to your proxy and got the required IP-dependent data
- "Proxy check failed" means that Multilogin couldn't connect to your proxy – check this article to learn why: How to fix profile launch or proxy connection issues
- Finally, create or update your profile and launch it

How to check your IP
Check fingerprint
Ready to see if your setup is airtight? Checking your fingerprint is like running a quick vibe check for your browser. Let’s make sure everything looks smooth and legit!
Use these tools to inspect your browser fingerprint:
- Whoer IP: check your IP address and make sure it matches your intended location (default Multilogin checker)
- Pixelscan: get a detailed view of your browser fingerprint
- BrowserLeaks: spot any fingerprint inconsistencies that might expose your real identity
Can websites see I've visited the Whoer IP page or other checkers?
No. If you are worried that websites will read its cookies and find out that you are a Multilogin user, we've got good news for you!
Websites can only access cookies associated with their own domain. In other words, Multilogin cookies are visible only to Multilogin, while Facebook recognizes solely its own cookies. This principle is known as the "Same-origin policy" (SOP), a foundational concept dating back to the creation of the first browsers.
Here's how to check your fingerprint:
- Open your Multilogin profile
- Use one of the tools above to test your fingerprint
- Look for inconsistencies in IP address, browser version, or OS
- Adjust your settings in Multilogin to fix any mismatches
