Set up a 4G proxy in a multi-profile browser

1. Get your 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:sp123456:YourPassword
SOCKS5  proxy.shadowproxy.fr:20001:sp123456:YourPassword

The HTTP port starts with 1, the SOCKS5 port with 2. Both go out through the same modem and the same IP.

2. Add the proxy to the profile

In the window where you create or edit a profile, open the Proxy section:

• Type: SOCKS5 (recommended) or HTTP;
• Host: proxy.shadowproxy.fr;
• Port: your SOCKS5 port (20001, 20002…) or HTTP port (10001, 10002…);
• Username and password: those of your customer area.

Many browsers also let you paste the whole line directly, with a “Paste” or “Import” button.

3. Check the connection

Click Check proxy. The browser should show a French mobile carrier IP address, the same one shown in your customer area.

4. Change IP whenever you want

From your customer area, with the Change IP button, or by opening your personal rotation link. The new address is active in under 20 seconds; no need to edit the profile, the host and port stay the same.

Good practice

• Use the same proxy for the profiles of one client or project, to keep a consistent address.
• 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.
