AdsPower Browser — is a tool for safe management of work profiles, ensuring stable operation and privacy protection. In this guide, we will look at the step-by-step process of configuring a proxy in AdsPower.
The guide uses the English version of the program — the international standard recognized by the professional community. At the same time, for user convenience, various interface languages are available in the settings.
Strategy: What proxy do you need for AdsPower?
Before creating a profile, you need to choose the right proxy. AdsPower supports all types of proxies, but their application differs cardinally.
1. Mobile Proxies (4G/5G)
- Purpose: Digital marketing management (Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads), agency work, SMM.
- The Essence: IP addresses of cellular operators. They provide a standard and stable mobile connection.
- Setup in AdsPower: Usually used with rotation. You can configure one port for several profiles, but it is important to ensure that the IP is unique while working with a specific profile (or change it via a link before launching).
2. Residential Proxies (ISP)
- Purpose: E-commerce (Amazon, eBay, Etsy), financial platforms, corporate portals.
- The Essence: Static IP addresses from home internet service providers.
- Setup in AdsPower: Strict rule “1 Profile = 1 Static IP”. The IP must not change throughout the work with the profile to ensure a stable session.
3. Datacenter Proxies (Server)
- Purpose: Technical tasks, public data collection, web resource testing.
- Verdict: Using them for large-scale marketing campaigns in AdsPower is not recommended. Using unsuitable proxies can lead to unstable operation and connection drops.
Obtaining connection data in CyberYozh App
Go to our catalog and select the appropriate proxy type (SOCKS5 or HTTP). It is important to use a separate proxy server for each profile. We recommend reviewing the guide on choosing the right proxy.

After purchasing a proxy, you will receive the following connection information:
- Host: Proxy IP address
- Port: Proxy port
- Proxy Username: Login
- Proxy Password: Password
Proxy example:
- Host: 172.98.60.180
- Port: 58763
- Login: 7XbvvWautzmOZMA
- Password: xdtAof3xB7RSmUr

Proxy Configuration
AdsPower provides reliable support for three key protocols for proxy connection:
- HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) — the primary protocol for efficient data transfer on the internet
- SOCKS5 — a powerful tunneling protocol with a robust authentication system
- SSH (Secure Shell) — a secure protocol with enhanced data encryption
In this guide, we will focus on configuring SOCKS5 — a protocol that guarantees a stable and secure connection. The process for configuring HTTP and SSH protocols follows a similar logic.
Proxy setup:
- In the proxy section, leave the "Custom" option selected.
- Select the proxy type you purchased (SOCKS5 or HTTP).
- For verification, use the IP2Location checker.
Entering Proxy Data
Enter the obtained proxy data:
Host:Port, Proxy username, Proxy Password.
For example:
- Host: 172.98.60.180
- Port: 58763
- Username: 7XbvvWautzmOZMA
- Password: xdtAof3xB7RSmUr1
Your settings should look like this:

Click the "Check proxy" button. If everything is done correctly, the text on the right should turn green, confirming that the proxy is working.
