How to Set Up Proxies With AdsPower
Various websites and search engines use browser fingerprinting as protection against malicious bots. Every browser leaves its traces online, so this information allows websites (or search engines) to identify unique users, detect bot traffic, and even track their users’ online activity.

1. Download AdsPower and create a profile
You can download AdsPower from their official website. Then, open the app and click New Profile.
2. Add proxies
Scroll down or select the Proxy tab to view the proxy settings section. The overall process is the same for Oxylabs Residential, Datacenter Proxies, and other proxy types.
To specify which proxies you want to use, fill out the form as shown in the examples below for Oxylabs proxies:
Residential and Mobile Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
Proxy username: customer-USERNAME
Proxy password: PASSWORD
Note: Append customer- to your username.
You may also use additional parameters with Residential Proxies to set the geo-location (country, state, city, and etc.) and control sessions. Check out the Residential Proxies documentation to learn more.
At the moment, SOCKS5 protocol doesn’t support country-specific entry nodes and sticky proxy entry nodes.
| Proxy Parameter | Example |
| Country entry node | Host: us-pr.oxylabs.ioPort: 10000 |
| Country | Username: customer-USERNAME-cc-DE |
| City | Username: customer-USERNAME-cc-US-city-los_angeles |
| State | Username: customer-USERNAME-st-us_california |
| Continent | Username: customer-USERNAME-cn-NA |
| ZIP/Postal code | Username: customer-USERNAME-cc-US-postalcode-90012 |
| ASN Targeting | Username: customer-USERNAME-ASN-21928 |
| Session (up to 10 minutes) | Username: customer-USERNAME-sessid-abcde12345 |
| Session time (up to 1440 minutes) | Username: customer-USERNAME-sessid-abcde12345-sesstime-1440 |
| Sticky proxy entry node | Host: us-pr.oxylabs.ioPort: 10001 |
Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP or SOCKS5
Host: 1.2.3.4 (IP address from your proxy list)
Port: 60000
Proxy username: USERNAME
Proxy password: PASSWORD
Note: The SOCKS5 protocol requires using port 1180. For HTTP, use 60000.
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired proxy list. Visit our documentation for more details.
Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
Proxy username: user-USERNAME
Proxy password: PASSWORD
Note: Append user- to your username.
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired proxy list.
If you want to get a different IP with each request, change the Port to 8000 to enable proxy rotation. Check our documentation for more details.
Datacenter Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
Proxy username: user-USERNAME
Proxy password: PASSWORD
Note: Append user- to your username.
Pay-per-IP subscription
The port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the proxy list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. You may also enable proxy IP rotation by setting the port to 8000.
Furthermore, you can specify the geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
Pay-per-traffic subscription
The port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. Alternatively, you can rotate proxy IPs with each request by using port 8000.
If you want to use a specific geo-location, for example, the US, set the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
ISP Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
Proxy username: user-USERNAME
Proxy password: PASSWORD
Note: Append user- to your username.
With ISP Proxies, the port is assigned to a specific IP address and its location. Hence, port 8001 will always pick the first IP from your proxy list. You can enable proxy rotation by using port 8000, while setting the Proxy username to, for example, user-USERNAME-country-US, will ensure you get rotating IPs from the United States proxy pool.
3. Check proxy connection
You can check if the proxy works correctly by clicking the Check Proxy button. You should see the following confirmation:
4. Launch the browser
Once you’re done configuring the browser settings, click OK at the bottom. Now, this new profile with proxies should be available in the Profiles tab. Launch the browser by simply clicking Open.
Conclusion
As discussed before, the AdsPower tool doesn’t provide proxies by itself. For a smooth web scraping and browsing experience, you need to be sure that you’re using the most reliable proxies. Using AdsPower with our Residential or Datacenter Proxies helps you to avoid many browsing issues, e.g., dealing with browser fingerprinting.
If you have questions on how to configure our proxies in the AdsPower application or considering starting using Oxylabs’ Residential or Datacenter Proxies, contact our sales team for more information. Also, check out our blog for articles like AdsPower vs. GoLogin.
