Yes, Incogniton is a desktop application and is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems. You can [download the app here](https://incogniton.com/register/) . 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.
