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, Linux, Mac OS, and Android.

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.

Residential and Mobile Proxies

For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired proxy list. Check our documentation for more details.

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

Type: HTTP or SOCKS5

Host: dc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

Note: Add 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

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.

You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.

ISP Proxies

Type: HTTP or SOCKS5

Host: isp.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

GoLogin with Oxylabs ISP proxies

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.

Step 3: Enter user credentials

Enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials. Use the same username and password you entered to create a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.
