Best for Dolphin Anty
Residential proxies
from $0.27/GB
Residential IPs belong to home connections, so they pass the IP-type checks that social and ad platforms run. A sticky session holds one IP per profile for up to 24 hours.

Key facts
One proxy per profile
Every browser profile has its own proxy field. A proxy saved once can be selected in several profiles, but those profiles then share one IP and a site can link them.
Fingerprint follows the proxy
Timezone, Geolocation and Language default to Auto, so Dolphin Anty takes them from the proxy's location. Change the proxy country and these values change with it.
Free plan limits
The Free plan allows 5 profiles, 50 saved proxies and 3 profiles running at once. Changing the proxy on many profiles at once (mass actions) needs a paid plan.
Proxy protocols Dolphin Anty accepts
Use the protocol your provider lists for that port. The sites you open only see the exit IP.
| Name | Works In | Auth | Blocking Resistance | Best For | Where To Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP | All profiles on Windows, macOS and Linux | Username and password in the proxy string, or none | Set by the IP type (residential, ISP or datacenter) | Default choice when the provider gives an HTTP port | Geonode residential, ISP or datacenter proxies; Geonode free list |
| SOCKS5 | All profiles on Windows, macOS and Linux | Username and password in the proxy string, or none | Same as HTTP | Providers or ports that only offer SOCKS5 | Geonode residential or ISP proxies; Geonode free list |
| SOCKS4 | All profiles on Windows, macOS and Linux | None: SOCKS4 has no password field | Same as HTTP | Testing with free SOCKS4 proxies | Geonode free list |
| SSH | All profiles on Windows, macOS and Linux | SSH server login details | Depends on the IP of the server you tunnel through | Routing a profile through your own VPS | Your own server; not sold by Geonode |
Which proxy type to use with Dolphin Anty
Sites judge the IP a profile connects from. Facebook and Amazon ban linked accounts under their terms, and a clean fingerprint lowers that risk without removing it.
Best for long-lived accounts
ISP proxies
from $1.25/IP
The IP is fixed and can stay on one profile for months, so the account signs in from the same address every time.
Scraping and testing
Datacenter proxies
from $0.14/GB
Facebook Ads and TikTok spot datacenter ranges and review the ad account, so keep these for profiles that only scrape or check ads in a region.
Testing only
Free public proxies
Free
Many people share them and a lot of them are already flagged. Use one to check that a new profile starts and passes the proxy check, never on a profile with a logged-in account.
How to set up a proxy in Dolphin Anty
You need the proxy host, port, username and password, and the protocol that port uses.
Open Dolphin Anty and click Create profile.
Enter a Name for the profile.
In the Proxy field, choose New proxy.
Select the protocol your provider lists for that port.
Paste the proxy as host:port:login:password or login:password@host:port. A Geonode sticky port looks like proxy.geonode.io:10000:username:password.
For a rotating proxy, paste the provider's URL into Link to change IP.
Click the check arrows next to the field and wait for the IP and location to appear.
Click Create profile.

Read the blog postHow to check that the proxy works
After the check in the proxy field, Dolphin Anty shows the proxy's IP and country. A red status or Error means it did not connect.
Click Start on the profile and open the Geonode What is my IP page inside it. You should see the proxy's IP, not your home connection.
Open pixelscan.net in the same profile and check that timezone and language match the IP's country.
How to remove a proxy from a profile
Click the pencil icon in the Proxy column and choose No proxy. The proxy stays saved on the Proxy screen.
To delete it completely, open the Proxy screen, tick the proxy and click Delete.
Common Dolphin Anty proxy problems and fixes
Error checking connection to proxy
- The protocol does not match the port, the string is in the wrong order, or the login and password are mistyped
- Select the protocol the provider lists for that port and paste the string again as host:port:login:password. Use the proxy credentials from the Geonode dashboard, not your account login. If it still fails, run the proxy through the Geonode proxy checker. A failure there means the proxy is at fault, not the profile.
CauseFixThe account asks for verification after every session
- A rotating session gives the profile a new IP on each connection
- Move that profile to a sticky session, or give it an ISP proxy so the IP stays the same between logins.
CauseFixA checker site shows your real IP through WebRTC
- WebRTC in the profile's fingerprint is set to Real
- Set WebRTC to Altered so it reports the proxy IP. If the checker still shows a leak, switch to the No UDP mode.
CauseFixTimezone or language does not match the IP
- Those fields were set manually, or the proxy moved to another country after the profile was created
- Switch the manual fields back to Auto (see above) and pin the country in the proxy username.

Dolphin Anty proxy FAQ
Click Create profile, choose New proxy in the Proxy field, pick HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or SSH and paste the proxy as host:port:login:password. Click the check arrows to confirm the IP, then save the profile.
Residential or ISP proxies, one IP per profile, for social media and ad accounts. Datacenter proxies are fine for scraping sites that do not check IP type.
Yes. Dolphin Anty accepts HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and SSH, and SOCKS5 proxies can include a username and password in the proxy string.
No. Each profile connects through the proxy assigned to it. A VPN on your computer covers every profile at once, so it cannot give them separate IPs.
Yes, the same saved proxy can be selected in many profiles. Those profiles then share one IP, so a site can link the accounts in them.
Dolphin Anty has a Free plan with 5 browser profiles. No plan includes proxies. Dolphin Anty lists partner proxy providers in the app, but you still pay for them separately; any HTTP or SOCKS5 provider works, including Geonode.
