AdsPower Proxy Setup Tutorial: 2 Methods

There are several ways to use proxies for AdsPower. You can run everything through the built-in connection manager, or set routing per browser profile. Both approaches have their place, so it’s worth breaking them down.

Method 1: Bulk Proxy Management

AdsPower proxy added this way works best when you manage dozens or hundreds of browser instances, collaborate with a shared crew, and need centralized control with tidy organization. It’s especially useful if you rely on rotating proxy pools, handle frequent IP allocation or replacements, need fast swaps without manual chaos, or maintain region- and project-specific endpoint sets across providers.

Step 1. Open the AdsPower browser and locate the manager

In the main menu, select “Proxies.” You’ll see three subsections: List, Configuration, and Resources.

List is the one we need, because it’s where all AdsPower proxies are added.

Configuration contains built-in integrations with certain providers. Resources includes links to AdsPower’s partner services. We’ll be working in “List.”

Step 1. Open the browser and locate the manager

Step 2. Add your list of IP addresses

Click “Add Proxy.” Enter the full list in one of the supported formats. You can also check its availability using the built-in checker and scan the list for duplicates before saving.

Step 2. Add your list of AdsPower proxies

Step 3. Verify that the list works

Run the check and review the results. Remove any IP addresses that fail, then confirm the pool. Once everything looks solid, click “OK.”

Step 4. Select an IP from the pool when creating a profile

In the appropriate section, choose “Saved,” then pick the required address from the dropdown list.

Method 2: How to add a single proxy to AdsPower

It works best when you manage a small number of accounts, rarely replace IPs, or run one-off tests. It also helps when you want to set things up quickly without any preliminary steps.

Step 1: Create a new profile

Click “New Profile” and fill in the required fields to shape the fingerprint. Then open the “Proxy” tab and select “Custom”.

Step 1: Create a new profile

Step 2: Enter the required details of AdsPower proxy

Fill in the required fields: Host, Port, Username, and Password. If you use dynamic IP rotation, add the rotation URL in the last field. Once you complete the remaining sections, click “OK”.

Proxy Types and Protocols Supported in AdsPower

The browser supports several protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and others tailored for specialized usage. We recommend reading our article “SOCKS5 vs. HTTPS Proxies” to determine which type fits your needs.

The platform is commonly used for browser fingerprinting protection, session isolation, and stealth profile management. Because of this, the quality and type of server you use can significantly affect stability, anonymity, and access.

The most recommended options include:

Residential – These use IP addresses assigned to real residential users by internet service providers. They closely resemble organic user behavior, making them well-suited for long-term account management and activities requiring high trust.
Datacenter – Known for their high speed and low latency, they are effective for bulk operations such as mass account creation or data scraping. However, they may be more easily identified by some platforms due to their non-residential origin.
Mobile – Operating over genuine 4G/5G mobile networks, and offer high credibility and dynamic IP rotation, making them ideal for automation on platforms with advanced anti-bot systems.
ISP – These use IP addresses officially registered to internet service providers but are hosted on servers with datacenter infrastructure. They combine stable performance with residential-level trust, making them optimal for tasks involving extended sessions or sensitive logins.

For optimal results, avoid using free or public solutions and choose elite proxies.

AdsPower Proxy Integration: Troubleshooting Common Problems

Description	Possible causes	Ways to resolve it
No connection established	The issue may stem from incorrect IP or port details, an unavailable server, or blocking by the platform or your provider.	Re-check the data and its format, use a special checker, and request a replacement if it fails. Also ensure the port is open and not filtered by your ISP or firewall.
The test passes, but profiles behave incorrectly	The platform may block specific IPs or entire ASNs (common with datacenter ranges). You may also face slow connections or DNS-related issues.	Switch to residential or mobile if DC is blocked. Adjust or change DNS. Check latency and try another region or provider.
The proxy reports the wrong geo or language (geo mismatch)	The provider may not guarantee precise location, the IP may belong to a VPN or hosting ASN, or the location may not match the fingerprint.	Match the fingerprint to the geo (timezone/locale), and use residential or mobile IPs after checking it in several tools.
IP leak (the site exposes real data)	DNS or WebRTC leaks can reveal real data when some traffic goes out directly, or when extensions or a VPN interfere in the background.	Verify leaks with external checkers, disable any third-party anonymizers, and switch to SOCKS5.
Timeouts / “ERR_TIMED_OUT”	High latency may come from an overloaded server or an exit node located too far from your region.	Check the connection speed and use only dedicated servers
A spike in CAPTCHAs, sudden bans, or forced logouts across accounts	One IP is assigned to several sessions.	Follow the rule “1 profile = 1 IP-address” and use the Manager to track each IP binding.

Conclusion

A properly configured AdsPower proxy allows users to securely manage multiple profiles, protect their identity, and run browser sessions without being flagged. Avoid public intermediate servers and stick to premium sources to reduce the risk of errors and bans.
