Proxy Integration With GoLogin
Browser fingerprinting is a challenge to many companies that want to make data-driven decisions because it can interfere with the web scraping process. However, you can handle this obstacle by modifying your digital profiles and using browser identity management platforms like GoLogin.
What is GoLogin?
GoLogin software allows you to conceal and manage your digital fingerprint by mimicking all browser settings that websites can see. By spoofing these parameters, you can imitate a real-user behavior to avoid being detected. GoLogin works on Windows (including Windows 7 and Windows 10), Linux, and Mac OS.
With the GoLogin app, you can perform multi-accounting and configure and change your browser profiles as you want. Furthermore, you can manage web browser profiles, which lets you store, share, and sync sensitive information.
GoLogin features
Some of the key features GoLogin has to offer include:
Unconnected profiles. Your device simulations will be attributed to different browser profiles that can’t be traced down and associated with each other in the eye of websites.
Real device imitation. You can customize more than 30 device settings for your browser profile, including CPU threads, RAM, screen resolution, and others.
Easy collaboration. You can manage profiles and proxies together with your team members and assign custom rights.

How to use a proxy in GoLogin?
GoLogin doesn't provide proxies by itself. If there is a need, you should learn how to integrate Oxylabs proxies with GoLogin for the best browsing experience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to configure our Residential and Datacenter Proxies for GoLogin on Windows.
Simply follow these steps:
1. Open the GoLogin app.
2. Click Create Your First Profile.
3. In the following window, enter your proxy details as specified below.
Residential Proxies
Connection Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy Host: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
Under Login and Password, enter your Oxylabs proxy user's credentials. Use the same credentials you entered to create a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.
You can also use country-specific entries. For example, if you put us-pr.oxylabs.io and 10000 under Proxy Host and Port, you'll receive a US exit node.
For a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session, please refer to our documentation.
Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via sales.
Connection Type: HTTP or SOCKS5
Proxy Host: a specific IP address (e.g., 1.2.3.4)
Port: 60000
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired list. Visit our documentation for more details.
Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via the dashboard.
Connection Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy Host: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list. Check our documentation for more details.
Datacenter Proxies
Connection Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy Host: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For the Pay-per-IP subscription, the port corresponds to the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the provided list. Hence, port 8001 uses the first IP address on your list. See our documentation for further details.
For the Pay-per-traffic subscription, port 8001 randomly selects an IP address but remains consistent throughout a session. You can also specify geo-location, such as the US, in the user authentication string: user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD. For more details, see our documentation.
ISP Proxies
Connection Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy Host: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
4. Finally, click Create Profile.
All set! Now, click Run and wait for the browser to load.
NOTE: if everything is done correctly, http://myip.gologin.app will open to show your custom fingerprint information (a new virtual identity).
