Proxy settings in Octo Browser

In this article, we will explain and demonstrate how the  <a href="https://octobrowser.net" target="_blank">**Octo Browser**</a> anti-detection browser works. This browser allows you to:

- Engage in traffic arbitrage.
- Work with multiple accounts simultaneously.
- Replace digital fingerprints to increase anonymity.
- Effectively boost reviews on various platforms.

Octo Browser provides an exceptionally high level of anonymity when browsing the internet, protecting users from tracking and identification. The use of proxies is a critical component for ensuring maximum security, especially when managing multiple accounts simultaneously. Properly 
<a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/ru/blog/how-to-choose-and-buy-proxies-on-app-cyberyozh" target=“_blank”>selected</a> and configured <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/ru/blog/choosing-the-perfect-proxy-types-of-protocols-and-their-features" target="_blank">proxy servers</a> not only enhance personal data protection, but also significantly reduce the risk of account blocking, allowing you to work effectively in the long term.

Let's take a closer look at the process of setting up proxy servers and the main features of Octo Browser so that you can make the most of the program's capabilities. In this step-by-step guide, we will be working with the English version of the software, as English is the international standard and most widely used language in technical documentation. This will also help you navigate more easily when referring to the official documentation or searching for solutions on the internet. You can select your preferred language in the program settings.

### Creating a profile

After launching the browser, two convenient features immediately catch the eye:

- **Quick Profile** – allows you to create a profile with one click.
- **New Profile** – more detailed profile settings.

If you are a beginner and do not know which settings to choose, create a quick profile.

## **Working with proxies**
The program supports three main protocols for connecting to proxies:

• HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) — the most common data transfer protocol on the Internet
• SOCKS5 — a universal tunneling protocol with authentication support
• SSH (Secure Shell) — a protocol with an additional level of data encryption

In this guide, we will take a detailed look at connecting via the SOCKS5 protocol, which provides a reliable connection. The configuration principles for HTTP and SSH protocols are similar.

**Adding a proxy**

Go to the **“Proxy”** tab and select:
