Ghost Browser Proxy Settings: How to Use ProxyEmpire with Ghost Browser

Integration guide · Last reviewed 27 September 2026 · 9 min read

Ghost Browser lets you run several logged-in accounts in one window: each Identity keeps its own cookies, and tabs from different Identities sit side by side. With Ghost Proxy Control you can also give each tab, Identity or Workspace its own proxy. This guide explains Ghost Browser proxy settings with ProxyEmpire: adding proxies to Ghost Proxy Control one by one or from a CSV file, assigning them at the right level, testing them, and choosing between residential, mobile and static residential proxies.

How Ghost Browser Uses Proxies

Ghost Browser is a Chromium-based browser for people who work in many accounts at once, such as social media managers, agencies and marketplace sellers. Instead of separate profile windows, it separates accounts by Identity. A permanent Identity has its own cookie jar that is saved even after you close all its tabs, so the account stays logged in. Temporary Identities are for one-off sessions, and their cookies are thrown away when the tabs close. Ghost Browser can also give each Identity a new fingerprint when you reset it.

Keeping cookies apart is only half of it. If every Identity uses the same internet connection, a platform sees all those accounts coming from one IP address and can link them. That’s what Ghost Proxy Control is for: it lets you assign a different proxy at three levels.

• Tab: a proxy for one tab only, which overrides everything else.
• Identity: a proxy for every tab in that Identity, which overrides the Workspace proxy.
• Workspace: a default proxy for the whole Workspace.

For account work, the Identity level is the one that matters: each permanent Identity gets its own sticky session, so every tab you open for that account uses the same IP.

Step 1: Get Your ProxyEmpire Proxy Details

In the ProxyEmpire dashboard, open the Proxy Manager to reach the Connection Builder. Choose Residential or Mobile and a country, and use the advanced settings for a region, city or ISP (carrier on mobile). Residential and mobile also support ZIP, ASN and OS fingerprint targeting at no extra cost. Static residential and datacenter proxies are targeted by country.

Set the IP rotation:

• Same IP is a sticky session with no fixed time limit; the IP stays until you rotate it or the device behind it goes offline. Use it for every Identity with a logged-in account.
• Every request gives a new IP each time, which suits a research tab, not an account.
• Custom TTL rotates on a timer you set, up to two hours.

The Connection Builder shows host v2.proxyempire.io, port 5000, your username and password, a Test proxy settings button and a full proxy string. Your targeting and session are part of the username, so each sticky session you create for an Identity is simply a different username with the same host, port and password. ProxyEmpire supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5; HTTP and SOCKS5 use the same details, and ProxyEmpire authenticates by username and password.

Step 2: Add Proxies to Ghost Proxy Control

1. Open the extensionClick the Ghost Proxy Control icon in the extension tray.
2. Manage proxiesChoose Add/Edit Proxies.
3. Add a single proxyClick Add a Single Proxy.
4. Enter the detailsEnter the host and port, then the ProxyEmpire username and password, and give the proxy a name.
5. SaveClick Add Proxy. It now appears in Ghost Proxy Control’s list.

Name each proxy after the Identity it’s for, such as “Store US 1” or “Client B Instagram”, rather than after its city. When a sticky IP ever needs replacing, you’ll know exactly which entry to update. A short, consistent naming scheme also makes the Ghost Proxy Control menu much faster to use once the list grows past a dozen entries.

Ghost Proxy Control handles HTTP and HTTPS proxies in host and port form with optional credentials, and SOCKS5 proxies written with a socks5:// prefix. With ProxyEmpire, plain HTTP is the simplest: it works for all websites, including HTTPS ones, because the browser tunnels encrypted traffic through the proxy.

Step 3: Assign Proxies to Tabs and Identities

To assign a proxy, click the Ghost Proxy Control icon, choose whether it applies to the active tab, the Identity or the Workspace, select the proxy and click Reload. For a permanent Identity you can also open the Identity Manager and use the Set Proxy link under that Identity, then pick the proxy from the drop-down. Ghost Browser’s documentation notes that tying a proxy to an Identity keeps that account’s browsing history consistent.

Remember the order of precedence: a tab proxy beats an Identity proxy, which beats a Workspace proxy. If an account tab shows an unexpected IP, check whether a tab-level proxy is overriding the Identity’s.

To test, open a fresh tab in the Identity and search for “what is my IP”, or use any IP-check site. The IP and country should match your ProxyEmpire targeting. A neighbouring town is normal, since IP-location databases often disagree about the exact city.

Check the rest of the identity too: timezone, language and WebRTC should match the proxy’s location rather than your computer’s. ProxyEmpire carries TCP traffic only, not UDP, so make sure WebRTC doesn’t reveal your real IP.

Importing Ghost Browser Proxies in Bulk

With many Identities, typing proxies one by one gets slow. Ghost Proxy Control imports them from a CSV file:

• Open Ghost Proxy Control’s settings and click Add Bulk Proxies.
• Click Export Proxy List to download the pre-formatted CSV template.
• Fill in one proxy per row. Don’t change the column names.
• Click Import Proxy List and choose the updated file.

host               port   username                  password
v2.proxyempire.io  5000   username-for-session-1    password
v2.proxyempire.io  5000   username-for-session-2    password
v2.proxyempire.io  5000   username-for-session-3    password

The usernames are placeholders. The Proxy list panel in ProxyEmpire’s Connection Builder generates real ones: set the list length, choose the host:port:user:pass output format and copy, then split each line into the template’s columns. Each row is its own sticky session, so each Identity gets its own IP.

Keep the CSV as your record of which session belongs to which Identity. When a sticky IP drops, start a new session in the same city and update that one row.

Which ProxyEmpire Proxy to Use with Ghost Browser

Rotating residential on a sticky session covers most Identities. Mobile IPs, shared by many real subscribers on carrier networks, are safer for strict social platforms. Static residential, sold in 24 countries, suits accounts that should always log in from the same address. All three share one ProxyEmpire balance, and unused bandwidth rolls over.

Habits that keep accounts apart

• One session per Identity, never shared between two accounts on the same platform.
• Stable location: the same country and, ideally, the same city at every login.
• Replace locally: if a sticky IP drops, start a new session in the same city.
• Use Temporary Identities for quick checks, so they don’t touch your saved accounts.
