An antidetect browser keeps profiles isolated from each other: each one has its own cookies, fingerprint, time zone and language. But the network address of a profile comes from its proxy, and the proxy you connect largely decides how stable the profile will be. In this article we look at which proxy type fits which task, how to pick the country and city, when you need a sticky session and when rotation, and how to set it all up in Dolphin Anty.
Step 1. Pick the proxy type for the task
🏠 Residential proxies are IP addresses of home internet providers — the same kind of addresses regular users go online from. That makes them the universal choice for most profiles: ad accounts, marketplaces, social media and checking ads in a specific country.
📱 Mobile proxies are IP addresses of mobile carriers (4G/5G). Many real subscribers usually share one mobile address, so these IPs have a good reputation. They are used for profiles where a “clean” address matters most, and for working with mobile versions of sites and apps.
💻 Datacenter proxies are fast and affordable addresses of hosting providers. They suit data collection, price monitoring and technical tasks where a server address is fine.
🗽 Static ISP proxies are provider addresses assigned to you for the whole rental period. They work well for long-lived profiles where the IP should not change for weeks.
A simple rule: for profiles that work with one account for a long time, use residential, mobile or static ISP proxies; for mass technical tasks, use datacenter proxies.
Step 2. Choose the geo
The proxy country should match the country where the account was registered and is used. If an account was created in Germany, its profile should go online from a German IP and not jump between countries.
Things to consider:
- City and region. For local ads, marketplaces and search checks, the city matters too: prices, delivery and search results can differ.
- ASN (provider). If the address needs to belong to a specific carrier or ISP, choose proxies with ASN targeting.
- Profile time zone and language. In Dolphin Anty they should match the proxy country. A time zone that doesn’t match the IP is one of the most common and least noticeable mistakes.
Step 3. Sticky session or rotation
A 📌 sticky session keeps one IP for a set time — from a few minutes to several hours. This is the default for profiles: logging in, setting up campaigns, working in an account. If the IP changes mid-session, the service sees an unexpected address change.
🔄 Rotation changes the IP on every request or on a timer. It is for mass tasks — data collection, checks, monitoring — not for account profiles.
Practical tips:
- set the sticky session time with a margin for the whole working session in the profile;
- keep the same port or session for one profile and don’t change it without a reason;
- if you use mobile proxies with an IP-change link, change the address between sessions, not during work.
Step 4. Get the connection details
In your provider’s dashboard, choose the proxy type, country (city or ASN if needed), protocol and session mode. For example, 🔗 PSB Proxy offers residential, mobile and datacenter proxies in 195 countries: HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, country, city and ASN targeting, and rotation or sticky sessions with a configurable time.
The details usually look like this:
host:port:login:password
For several profiles, prepare a list — one line per profile.
Step 5. Add the proxies in Dolphin Anty
🚀 Dolphin Anty lets you add proxies in two ways:
- When creating a profile — in the new profile’s proxy section, choose the type (HTTP or SOCKS5) and paste the connection details.
- In the “Proxy” tab — add proxies in advance and then assign them to profiles from the list.
If you have many profiles, use bulk import: Dolphin Anty shows the supported line formats, so you can paste the whole list at once. Bulk assignment then applies proxies to dozens of profiles in a couple of clicks — sequentially, randomly or to every n-th profile.
After adding a proxy, ✅ check it right in the browser: Dolphin Anty shows the IP, connection type and geolocation. Make sure the country and city match what you chose with your provider.
Step 6. Checklist before working with a profile
- The proxy type fits the task (residential, mobile or ISP for accounts).
- The proxy country matches the account country.
- The profile time zone and language match the proxy country.
- A sticky session is on, and its time covers the whole working session.
- One profile — one proxy: addresses are not shared between profiles.
- The proxy is checked in Dolphin Anty, and the IP and geo are as expected.
Common mistakes
- One proxy for several profiles. The profiles are isolated in the browser but go online from the same address. Give each profile its own IP.
- Rotation instead of a sticky session. The address changes in the middle of a login or setup, which looks unnatural.
- An IP from the wrong country. The account is from Poland, but the profile works through a German address.
- Datacenter proxies for accounts. They are great for data collection, but long-lived profiles are better off with residential, mobile or ISP proxies.
Conclusion
🔥 Dolphin Anty takes care of profile isolation and convenient profile management, while proxies provide the network address. Pick the proxy type for the task and the country and city for the account, turn on sticky sessions for profiles and check the connection right in the browser. Then every profile will run steadily, and you’ll spend your time on the work rather than on troubleshooting.
