Proxy pool

Add your HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies once and assign them to any number of profiles. The pool is stored on your computer with everything else, and the app tells you which proxies still work before a profile depends on them.

Proxies are checked before a profile uses them

Keep HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies in one pool, reuse them across profiles, and see which ones still work.

What a check returns

Proxy
SOCKS5 res-de-2.example:10001
Exit IP
203.0.113.24
Country
DE
Latency
388 ms, fast
Blocklist
Not on any checked blocklist
Health
A

Fast means 1.5 seconds or less. The blocklist check looks the exit address up on DNS blocklists. Health is graded from A to F. Simulated result.

Paste them in any of these forms

host:port
host:port:username:password
http://username:password@host:port
socks5://username:password@host:port

How a profile picks one at launch

  • Rotate each launch
  • Sticky (fixed proxy)
  • Failover to healthy
  • Fastest (latency)

Proxies with a rotation link from the provider can also get a new exit IP from the proxy row, without replacing the proxy.

Pull lists from your provider

Connect your own account with 8 providers and the app pulls their proxy lists through the provider’s API:

  • Bright Data
  • Apify
  • Smartproxy.org
  • ShopSocks5
  • AnyIP
  • DataImpulse
  • Proxy-Seller
  • IPRoyal

Oxylabs and Smartproxy work differently: they have no list to pull, so the app checks your login against their gateway and adds that one endpoint.

Adding proxies

One at a time, a pasted list, or a pull from your provider.

New Proxy

Name, type (HTTP or SOCKS5), host, port, username and password. Paste a whole proxy string into the host field and the other fields fill themselves.

Batch Add

Paste one proxy per line and pick a default type for lines that don’t say. The result lists how many were created or skipped, and the line number of anything that failed.

IPv6

Put IPv6 addresses in square brackets, with or without a login:

[2001:db8::1]:8080:user:pass

Keeping the pool healthy

The Proxy pool page has these tools. Deleting a proxy never breaks a profile: linked profiles keep working with their proxy assignment cleared.

Proxy pool tools
ToolWhat it does
Test AllTests every proxy in the pool at once and reports how many passed.
CheckTests one proxy, or the ones you’ve selected: exit IP, country, latency, blocklist status and a health grade.
Auto-check every N minRe-tests the whole pool on a schedule while the app is open.
Health historyA latency-over-time chart per proxy, plus a list of proxies that were verified before and failed later.
Speed and blocklist filtersShow only fast proxies (1.5 seconds or less) or slow ones, and only clean or blocklisted ones.
GroupsNamed, coloured groups you can drag proxies into and target when creating profiles in bulk.
Auto-groupCreates groups from each proxy’s verified country, state or city. Run Test All first so every proxy has a location.
Rotate IPAsks the provider for a new exit IP on a proxy that has a rotation link, without replacing the proxy.

Rotation

Give a profile a rotation pool of proxies and it can switch exit IP between launches. Its cookies and logins stay, because they live in the profile, not the proxy.

Rotation policies
PolicyAt launch
Rotate each launchMoves to the next proxy in the profile’s rotation pool on every launch. This is the default.
Sticky (fixed proxy)Ignores the rotation pool. The profile keeps its own fixed proxy.
Failover to healthySkips proxies whose last check failed. An optional latency ceiling skips slow ones too. If nothing qualifies, it uses the whole pool rather than block the launch.
Fastest (latency)Takes the fastest healthy proxies, the top 3 unless you change it, and rotates among those.

You choose each profile’s rotation pool and whether it’s walked in order (round-robin) or picked at random. The policy is set once on the Proxy pool page and applies to every profile that has a rotation pool.

What happens at launch

Before the browser opens, the app makes the profile agree with the proxy it’s about to use.

Geo auto-match

Looks up where the proxy exits and sets the profile’s timezone, language and WebRTC IP to match. It’s on by default. Turn it off in Settings to use each profile’s manual values.

Traffic stays on the proxy

HTTP/3 (QUIC) is turned off for proxied profiles so UDP can’t go around the proxy. You can also block pages from reaching devices on your local network.
