AdsPower is a multi-account browser built for managing dozens of browser profiles at once, each with its own fingerprint and identity. Without a proxy attached to each profile, every account runs on your real IP, which defeats the entire purpose. Platforms can link your accounts instantly and flag or ban them in bulk. Adding a proxy to each profile keeps the identities separate and makes them look like they belong to different real users.
In this article, we'll explore how to set up a proxy in AdsPower and get your profiles properly isolated.
How to Add a Proxy to an AdsPower Profile
Open AdsPower and go to the profile you want to configure. Click New Profile if you are starting fresh, or open an existing one and navigate to its settings. The proxy section is inside the profile configuration, where you enter your details manually.
Select your proxy protocol first. AdsPower supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and SOCKS4, so match this to what your provider offers. Proxyon's residential proxies support both HTTP and SOCKS5.
Enter your proxy host, port, username, and password in the corresponding fields. You can grab these directly from your Proxyon dashboard. Once saved, the proxy is bound to that profile permanently, and every session it runs will go through that IP.

Choosing the Right Proxy Type for AdsPower
Residential proxies are the best fit for AdsPower in most cases. Since you are managing multiple accounts on platforms that actively flag suspicious activity, you need IPs that look like they belong to real users. They are assigned by ISPs to real households, so they blend in with normal traffic and are much harder to detect.
Datacenter proxies are faster and cheaper, but platforms like Facebook, Amazon, and TikTok recognize datacenter IP ranges and are more likely to flag accounts using them. They are fine for less sensitive tasks, but not ideal for multi-account management where detection risk is high.
Mobile proxies are the hardest to block but also the most expensive. They are rarely necessary for AdsPower unless you are working on platforms with extremely aggressive detection that filters out even residential IPs.
For most AdsPower use cases, residential proxies hit the right balance between cost and reliability. Proxyon offers residential proxies starting at $1.75/GB with no subscription required.
Testing and Verifying Your Proxy Connection
AdsPower has a built-in proxy checker you can use before launching any profile. Click the check button next to the proxy fields, and AdsPower will test the connection and return the detected IP and location. If it matches your proxy details, you are good to go.
If the check fails, the most common cause is wrong credentials or a typo in the host and port fields. Verify the details against your provider dashboard. If credentials are correct but the connection still fails, try switching the protocol between HTTP and SOCKS5.
Once the profile is live, you can also visit ipinfo inside the AdsPower browser to confirm the IP matches the proxy you assigned. This is a good habit when running multiple profiles since one misconfigured profile can expose your real IP.
