Multiple Proxies ​

To use different proxies for different browser profiles:

  2. Assign a different proxy IP to each profile
  3. This achieves account isolation and prevents linkage

Proxy Rotation ​

  1. In proxy settings, select "Use Proxy API"
  2. Configure the NiuProxy API endpoint (contact support to obtain)
  3. Set rotation rules: by time / by request count / manual

Fingerprint Configuration ​

To improve anonymity, configure the following fingerprint settings:

  1. Canvas Fingerprint: Enable Canvas noise
  2. WebGL Fingerprint: Enable WebGL randomization
  3. Timezone: Set to match the proxy IP region
  4. Language: Match the target region's language
  5. User-Agent: Use a real browser identifier

Troubleshooting ​

Q1: Proxy connection failed? ​

Checklist:

  • Confirm proxy address and port are correct
  • Verify username and password
  • Check account balance
  • Confirm IP whitelist settings (if enabled)

Solutions:

  1. Re-copy proxy info from the dashboard
  2. Remove any extra spaces
  3. Try a different port
  4. Contact NiuProxy support to check account status

Q2: Proxy is slow? ​

  • Choose a proxy node closer to your target region
  • Upgrade to a higher-tier plan
  • Reduce the number of open browser windows

Q3: How to verify the proxy is working? ​

  1. Visit https://whoer.net in the AdsPower browser
  2. Check that the IP address shown is the proxy IP
  3. Confirm the geo-location matches expectations
  4. Check for DNS and WebRTC leaks

Q4: Why can't AdsPower browse the internet after configuring a proxy IP? ​

In mainland China's network environment, configuring a proxy IP alone is not enough to access external websites. A local proxy tool ("ladder") is required for traffic forwarding.

Please ensure all of the following are met:

  • A local proxy tool is enabled (such as Clash or V2Ray)

  • The proxy tool is in a "connected" state
  • AdsPower is correctly using the system proxy

Q5: What key settings must be enabled in AdsPower? ​

You must enable the system proxy in AdsPower for proper traffic routing.
