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.

Browser fingerprinting is already making a significant impact on web scraping as well. It gradually becomes the primary tool to identify web scraping bots. One way to beat browser fingerprinting and browse the internet more privately is to use browser management tools.

Step 2. Create a profile. Open the app and click Create.

Step 3. Specify proxies. To specify which proxies you want to use fill out the form as follows:

Residential Proxies

Proxy type: HTTP

Proxy host: pr.oxylabs.io

You can check if the proxy works by clicking Check Proxy.
