Incogniton gives every browser profile its own fingerprint, cookies and storage, so separate accounts stay separate inside one app. To make each profile look like a different person on the network too, it needs its own IP address. This guide covers Incogniton proxy setup with ProxyEmpire: copying your details from the dashboard, adding them to a profile or the Proxy Library, bulk-adding proxies, the settings that should follow the proxy, and whether to use residential, mobile or static residential proxies.
The short version
In Incogniton, open a profile, go to the Proxy tab, pick a connection type and paste your ProxyEmpire details as v2.proxyempire.io:5000:username:password into the Proxy (ip:port) field; Incogniton fills in the username and password for you. Click Check proxy, then save. ProxyEmpire uses the same host, port and credentials for HTTP and SOCKS5, and each profile should get its own sticky session.
Why Incogniton Needs a Proxy
Separate profiles, shared connectionIncogniton is an anti-detect browser for managing many online accounts from one computer. Each browser profile runs with its own fingerprint, cookie jar and local storage, and Incogniton adds tools around that such as profile groups, team sharing and bulk profile creation. If you want the full picture of the browser itself, read our Incogniton review; this guide is about the network side.
Profiles that are isolated in the browser can still be linked by their IP address. When every profile connects from your own internet line, websites see several accounts arriving from one address, which is among the first signals account-linking systems look at. An Incogniton proxy fixes that: each profile connects through its own IP, in the country, city or network that fits the account.
Incogniton also offers a free built-in proxy option on the profile overview, labelled as a free unblocked Incogniton proxy. Incogniton itself notes it isn’t recommended for account management. For accounts you want to keep, use a dedicated proxy from a provider, one per profile.
What you need
- Incogniton installed and signed in.
- A ProxyEmpire account with bandwidth. The $1.97 trial includes 100 MB of residential and 50 MB of mobile bandwidth.
- A few minutes for the first profile; the Proxy Library makes the rest quick.
Step 1: Get Your ProxyEmpire Proxy Details
Pick location and session in the Connection BuilderOpen the ProxyEmpire dashboard and go to the Proxy Manager, where the Connection Builder lives. Choose Residential or Mobile, then the country. Open the advanced settings to narrow it down by region, city or ISP (carrier on mobile). Residential and mobile proxies can also be targeted by ZIP code, ASN and OS fingerprint, and none of it costs extra. Static residential and datacenter proxies are targeted by country.
Under IP rotation, choose how the address behaves:
- Same IP is a sticky session. The IP has no fixed time limit and stays until you rotate it or the device behind it goes offline. Use this for any profile you log in to.
- Every request rotates the IP constantly, which suits data collection, not accounts.
- Custom TTL changes the IP on a timer you set, up to two hours.
The Connection Builder then shows the host (v2.proxyempire.io), port (5000), username and password, a Test proxy settings button, and a full proxy string with a copy button. Your location and session are part of the username, so a different city or a new session is just a different username. ProxyEmpire supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, HTTP and SOCKS5 use exactly the same details, and authentication is by username and password, with no IP whitelisting.
Step 2: Add the Proxy to an Incogniton Profile
Paste once, the fields fill themselves- Create the profileClick to create a new browser profile, name it and choose the operating system on the Overview tab.
- Open the Proxy tabOr click Add proxy on the Overview tab. Choose a connection type; ProxyEmpire supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.
- Paste the proxyPaste the full proxy string from ProxyEmpire into the Proxy (ip:port) field. Incogniton splits it into the username and password fields.
- Check the proxyClick Check proxy and confirm the IP and location match what you chose in ProxyEmpire.
- Create and launchClick Create profile, then start the profile from your dashboard.
Leave the Rotating proxy box unticked and the Proxy rotation API url field empty. Those are for providers that rotate an IP through a link. With ProxyEmpire you get a new IP by starting a new sticky session instead, which gives you a new username.
The Proxy information provider setting only controls which service Incogniton uses to look up the IP’s location. If a check shows a slightly different town from the one you targeted, try another provider before assuming the proxy is wrong; IP-location databases often disagree about nearby places.
The Incogniton Proxy Library and Bulk Add
Save proxies once, assign them anywhereFor more than a handful of profiles, store your proxies in Incogniton’s Proxy Library. Open it from the left menu and click + New proxy. Give the proxy a name, choose the connection type, paste the details, optionally put it in a group, then click Check and Add. When editing a profile, go to its Proxy tab and choose Select from Proxy Library to attach a saved proxy.
To add many at once, click Bulk add at the bottom of the Add proxy form and paste one proxy per line, or load them from a CSV file with one proxy per row.
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. Each line is its own sticky session, so every profile gets a different IP.
Incogniton can also create profiles in bulk from a spreadsheet. The template includes proxy columns plus settings such as filling the timezone based on the IP and the WebRTC behaviour, so you can set up dozens of consistent profiles in one import.
Incogniton Settings That Follow the Proxy
Location details should come from the IPA profile whose IP is in Madrid but whose browser reports a Tokyo timezone tells a story no real user would. Incogniton can take these values from the proxy:
- Timezone: keep Fill timezone based on IP turned on, so the profile’s clock matches the proxy’s location.
- Language: the Fill language based on IP option on the Overview tab sets the browser language from the proxy’s country. Change it under Navigator if the account’s owner would realistically use another language.
- WebRTC: use Altered, which shows the proxy’s public IP, or Disabled. Avoid Real, which reveals your own network.
- Geolocation: keep it on prompt, so sites have to ask, rather than giving out a fixed location that doesn’t match the IP.
WebRTC deserves the attention: calls and peer-to-peer features use UDP, and ProxyEmpire carries TCP traffic only, so an Altered or Disabled WebRTC setting is what stops that traffic from showing your real IP.
Which ProxyEmpire Proxy to Use with Incogniton
Match the IP to the account| Rotating residential | Rotating mobile | Static residential | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP source | Home broadband | 4G carrier networks | Residential ISP ranges |
| In Incogniton | One sticky session per profile | One sticky session per profile | One IP per profile |
| Targeting | Country to ZIP, ISP, ASN | Country to ZIP, carrier, ASN | Country |
| Best for | E-commerce, ads, most web accounts | Social media and app-first platforms | Accounts that must keep one IP |
| Price | $3.50/GB, down to $1.50/GB | $4.50/GB, down to $2.00/GB | $3.50 for one IP, down to $2.00/IP a month |
Rotating residential with a sticky session covers most Incogniton accounts. Mobile IPs, shared by many real subscribers on carrier networks, are the safer choice for platforms that are strict about new accounts. Static residential, sold in 24 countries, suits an account that should always come from the same address. All three run on one ProxyEmpire account, and unused bandwidth rolls over.
Keep profiles from being linked
- One session per profile. Two accounts on the same platform should never share an IP.
- Stable location. Log in to each account from the same country and, ideally, the same city.
- Replace locally. If a sticky IP drops, start a new session in the same city rather than moving the account.
- Target sensibly. A small town plus one ISP can leave few IPs; city or state is usually enough.
Troubleshooting an Incogniton Proxy
Common problems and fixes| Problem | Likely cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Check proxy fails | Usually a typo, a stray space or an old password. Copy the full proxy string again from the Connection Builder and paste it into the Proxy (ip:port) field. |
| Works in one profile, not another | Compare the two entries. The protocol is rarely the cause, because HTTP and SOCKS5 use the same ProxyEmpire details. |
| Timezone doesn’t match the IP | Fill timezone based on IP is off, or the check couldn’t read the IP’s location. Turn it on, or set the timezone manually to the proxy’s location. |
| IP changed mid-session | The profile uses an Every request username, or the device behind the sticky IP went offline. Use Same IP and start a new session in the same city if it drops. |
| Stopped working | Check your bandwidth balance and whether you changed the targeting, which changes the username. |
| One site won’t load | Some site categories are restricted on ProxyEmpire by default, including banks, payment processors such as PayPal and Stripe, and crypto exchanges, and only ports 80 and 443 are open. Access can be reviewed after KYC and a use-case explanation to support. |
ProxyEmpire support is available 24/7 through live chat in the dashboard. Setting up another anti-detect browser too? See our Multilogin proxy guide.

Incogniton Proxy FAQ
Straight answersWhat is the best proxy for Incogniton?
Rotating residential proxies with one sticky session per profile suit most Incogniton accounts. Use rotating mobile proxies for social media and app-first platforms, and static residential proxies for accounts that must keep the same IP.
How do I add a proxy in Incogniton?
Open the profile’s Proxy tab, choose a connection type and paste host:port:username:password into the Proxy (ip:port) field. With ProxyEmpire that starts v2.proxyempire.io:5000. Click Check proxy, then save the profile.
Should I use HTTP or SOCKS5 in Incogniton?
Either. ProxyEmpire uses the same host, port, username and password for both, so pick whichever you prefer.
How do I add many proxies to Incogniton?
Open the Proxy Library, click + New proxy, then Bulk add, and paste one proxy per line or load a CSV file. You can then assign them to profiles with Select from Proxy Library.
Should I use Incogniton’s free proxy?
Not for accounts you want to keep. Incogniton itself says its free unblocked proxy isn’t recommended for account management. Use a dedicated sticky session per profile instead.
Do I need the Rotating proxy option?
No. Leave it off. With ProxyEmpire you get a new IP by starting a new sticky session, not through a rotation link.
Is there an Incogniton discount code?
Yes. The code ProxyEmpire gives a 20% recurring discount on any Incogniton plan.
Can I try ProxyEmpire with Incogniton first?
Yes. The $1.97 trial includes 100 MB of residential and 50 MB of mobile bandwidth, and unused trial bandwidth doesn’t expire.
