What are proxies?
Proxies act as intermediaries between a user’s device and the internet, meaning you can access a website indirectly. The internet traffic is rerouted through the proxy server, which fetches data on your behalf and masks your IP address.
Do I need to use a different proxy for each profile?
It’s recommended to use a different proxy for each browser profile. This helps avoid blocks or bans, prevents fingerprint linking and can maintain profile uniqueness. Especially for account management we advise using a different proxy for each profile.
