How to Set Up Proxies With Kameleo Browser

To minimize the risk of browsing interruptions and profile bans, you can pair an anti-detect browser with proxies. This tutorial guides you through the process of integrating Oxylabs Residential and Datacenter Proxies with an anti-detect browser, Kameleo, on Windows.

How to Set Up Proxies With Kameleo

What is Kameleo?

Kameleo is a browser management app for Windows and Android that allows you to create multiple profiles for browsing, each with a unique identity. To combat browser fingerprinting, access blocks, and profile bans, Kameleo handles numerous desktop and mobile profiles simultaneously, imitating a range of devices and settings, all within a single platform.

The browser ensures your actual identity remains hidden when managing multiple accounts, launching advertising campaigns, or engaging in overseas e-commerce.

For automation, you can integrate Kameleo with the Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium frameworks through an API.

Configuring proxies

  1. Download and install the Kameleo application and set up an account.

NOTE: If you only need the Windows tool and aren't particularly experienced in coding or keen on automating browsing tasks, the Basic plan will suit your needs.

2. Launch the app, log in, and select New Profile.

Summary

If you have issues with web blocking, bans, or geo-restrictions, it’s worth trying Kameleo. As Kameleo doesn’t provide proxies, make sure to source reliable proxy IPs for a hiccup-free browsing experience.
