Configuring Proxy Settings on MultiLogin: A Step-by-Step Guide
What is MultiLogin?
Managing many online identities and personas has become a typical difficulty for both individuals and corporations. This is where MultiLogin shines as a powerful solution. MultiLogin offers a streamlined and effective method for managing multiple online identities at the same time.
One of the standout features of MultiLogin is that it enhances security by providing an option for IP rotation. Enabling this feature ensures that users’ IP addresses change periodically during browsing sessions, making it more challenging for websites to track and monitor online activities.
This guide will provide a step-by-step instruction on how to configure proxy settings for enhanced privacy.
How To Configure Proxies With MultiLogin
Step 1: Go to the MultiLogin official page and click on “Create a MultiLogin X Account”.
Step 2: Sign up with a valid email and set up your password. Once you have successfully registered, you will receive a verification code on your email.
Step 3: Next, input the code sent to your mail and verify your account.
Step 4: After verifying your email, you will be automatically signed in into your account. While on your profile, click on “create new” to set up a new proxy.
Step 5: After creating a new profile, you will be redirected to your proxy page. From here, click on “Edit proxy setting” to configure your proxy.
Step 6: This configuration works with NetNut and it includes options for HTTP, Socks 4, Socks 5 proxy, and POSSH.
There are various proxy types so when integrating NetNut proxies, choose HTTP or SOCKS5 protocol
This is an example of a proxy string for a browser :
USERNAME-stc-uk-sid-123456789:PASSWORD@gw-am.netnut.net:5959
-
Hostname Configuration
Copy the hostname/server address provided by NetNut
Example: Type gw-am.netnut.net into the host field if you are using HTTP protocol. Alternatively, type gw-socks-am.netnut.net for SOCKS5 protocol
-
Port number Configuration
The Port number for NetNut HTTP proxies is 5959 and 9595 for SOCKS5
-
Username Configuration
Username is your login, which you can find in your NetNut account in Settings -> Billing.
Proxy-type is the proxy type that you use. NetNut provides three different proxy types depending on your subscription plan. Your username should have three components including your user ID, type of proxy( residential, datacenter, static) and target country.
- dc — datacenter;
- res — rotating residential proxy;
- stc — static residential proxy.
Country is the country whose IP addresses will be used for connection. You can choose “Any,” in which case any available country will be used, or you can provide the ISO code of a specific country from the list of NetNut Available Countries: e.g., jp (Japan), fr (France).
Example: ticketing123-res-us
This is where you get the proxy username and password from the customer portal. You can also get in touch with your account manager if you’d like additional assistance.
-
Consistent IP session
While NetNut provides rotating IP addresses, you may want a static IP address. This can be useful when you want to maintain your session via the same IPs. Then you need to incorporate a session id (SID) with your username.
How do you choose a SID?
- Choose a number between 4 to 8 digits
- Ensure the numbers are random and non-sequential to protect your IP address
For example: ticketing123-stc-us-SID-435765
-
Proxy password
Insert the confidential NetNut proxy password
Step 7: Click on Check proxy to view the network status. “Connection test passed” will be shown after completing the configuration.
Congratulations, the new proxy profile created will appear on your browser profile and can be used for future online activities.
