Before you start

First, make sure you have the following details (if you don’t, ask your proxy provider):

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

Open your profile settings and find the “Proxy” section
Select “Custom” as your proxy type
Choose a protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5)
Enter proxy details in the format IP:port:login:password or IP:port
The system will check the proxy automatically:
1. “Proxy check passed” means that Multilogin successfully connected to your proxy and got the required IP-dependent data
2. “Proxy check failed” means that Multilogin couldn't connect to your proxy – check this article to learn why: How to fix profile start or proxy connection issues

Click “Quick” in the main dashboard
Choose “Custom” in the "Proxy" section
Choose “Proxy list” in the “Format” section
Choose a protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5)
Add a maximum of 25 proxies in the format IP:port or IP:port:login:password
Choose how the system should use proxies:
1. Sequentially: from top to bottom
2. Randomly: in random order without repetition
