Set up a 4G proxy in AdsPower

Why a 4G proxy in AdsPower?

AdsPower isolates each profile: cookies, browser fingerprint, time zone. The IP address, though, comes from the proxy you attach to the profile. With a ShadowProxy 4G proxy, websites see the IP of a French mobile subscriber, just like an ordinary smartphone on 4G.

Each proxy is a physical modem with its own SIM card, reserved for a single customer. The IP stays the same until you change it, which keeps your profiles consistent from one session to the next.

This guide shows where the proxy setting is in AdsPower, which fields to fill in with your ShadowProxy details, how to check the connection and how to change IP. The general method, valid for every multi-profile browser, is in our anti-detect browser guide.

1. Get your ShadowProxy access details

In your customer area, open 4G proxies then your proxy. You will find two lines, in the format address:port:username:password:

HTTP    proxy.shadowproxy.fr:10001:username:password
SOCKS5  proxy.shadowproxy.fr:20001:username:password

The HTTP port starts with 1 (100xx), the SOCKS5 port with 2 (200xx). Both go out through the same modem and the same IP.

2. Add the proxy to the AdsPower profile

1. Click + New Profile (or edit an existing profile) and open the Proxy section.
2. In Proxy type, choose Socks 5 (recommended) or HTTP.
3. In the Host:Port field, paste your full line proxy.shadowproxy.fr:20001:username:password: AdsPower fills in Proxy username and Proxy Password automatically. You can also fill in the fields by hand.
4. Click OK to save the profile.

To use the same proxy on several profiles, save it in AdsPower’s Proxies section, then pick it with Saved Proxies when you create a profile. Depending on your AdsPower version, choosing the proxy may go through a Custom option: the fields stay the same.

3. Check the connection

Before saving, click Check Proxy. “Connection test passed” means AdsPower can connect to the proxy. Make sure the IP shown is French and matches the one in your customer area.

4. Match the time zone and language

A French IP with a time zone or language from another country is an inconsistency that websites notice. In the AdsPower profile, let the time zone and geolocation follow the proxy IP, or set them to Europe/Paris, and choose a language consistent with a user in France.

5. Change IP whenever you want

From your customer area, with the Change IP button, or by opening your personal rotation link (on the proxy page): a single call is enough, from a browser or a script. The new address is active in under 20 seconds. No need to edit the AdsPower profile: the host and port stay the same, only the exit IP changes.

Good practice

• One proxy per profile or per small group of related profiles (one client, one project), so unrelated accounts are not linked together.
• SOCKS5 preferably, HTTP if a tool does not support SOCKS5: both go out through the same IP.
• Do not change IP in the middle of a signed-in session: do it between two sessions.
• Respect the terms of use of the sites you use.
