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.

Installing AdsPower

The overall process is the same for both Oxylabs Residential and Datacenter Proxies. To understand how it’s performed in detail, you can simply follow these steps:

Step 1.  Download AdsPower. You can get the tool from their official website by clicking here

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

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

Residential and Mobile Proxies

Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

Proxy host: pr.oxylabs.io

Proxy port: 7777

You can also use country-specific entries. For example, if you put us-pr.oxylabs.io under Proxy Host and 10000 under Proxy 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

Proxy type: HTTP or SOCKS5

Proxy host: 1.2.3.4 (a specific IP address)

Proxy 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

Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

Proxy host: ddc.oxylabs.io

Proxy 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

Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

Proxy host: dc.oxylabs.io

Proxy port: 8001

For the Pay-per-IP subscription, the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the given list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. For further details, see our documentation.

For the Pay-per-traffic subscription, port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, within the user authentication string: user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD. See our documentation for more details.

ISP Proxies

Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

Proxy host: isp.oxylabs.io

Proxy port: 8001

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

For login credentials:

Proxy username: your-username

Proxy password: password

In all cases, if everything is fine, click OK, which is situated just below the Advanced block.

Step 4. Launch the browser. You can do so by clicking Open under Tags.

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.
