Dolphin Anty Proxy Setup: Complete Configuration Guide

Dolphin Anty has rapidly gained popularity as a free-to-start anti-detect browser with features that rival paid competitors. Its generous free tier (10 profiles), clean interface, and strong affiliate marketing community make it an attractive choice for solo operators and small teams entering the multi-account space.

But as with every anti-detect browser, Dolphin Anty is only as effective as the proxies behind it. This guide walks you through every aspect of proxy configuration in Dolphin Anty — from single profile setup to bulk import, fingerprint alignment, and the automation workflows that make Dolphin Anty a standout tool.

Why Dolphin Anty

Dolphin Anty has several characteristics that differentiate it from competitors:

Free tier with 10 profiles — enough to get started without a subscription
Chromium-based engine with solid fingerprint spoofing
Built-in automation (Scenarios) for repetitive tasks
Mass profile actions for managing large profile sets
Cookie robot for automated profile warming
Team collaboration with role-based access
Active community especially in affiliate marketing and traffic arbitrage

Prerequisites

Before you begin, prepare the following:

Dolphin Anty installed on your desktop (Windows or macOS)
An account (free or paid plan)
Proxy credentials: host/IP, port, username, password
Proxy protocol type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5

If you are using DataResearchTools mobile proxies, retrieve your credentials from the dashboard before proceeding.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up a Proxy in Dolphin Anty

Step 1: Create a New Browser Profile

Open Dolphin Anty and click the Create Profile button. The profile editor will open with multiple configuration tabs.

Name the profile using a clear convention. For affiliate marketing: [Offer]-[GEO]-[Number] (e.g., “Nutra-SG-001”). For e-commerce: [Platform]-[Region]-[Account] (e.g., “Shopee-MY-003”).

Step 2: Navigate to the Proxy Section

In the profile creation screen, find the Proxy section. It is typically in the main configuration area alongside OS, browser type, and status fields.

You can also select a proxy from your saved proxy list if you have previously added proxies to the proxy manager.

Step 3: Choose Proxy Type

Select the proxy protocol from the dropdown:

HTTP — standard proxy protocol
HTTPS — encrypted HTTP proxy
SOCKS5 — recommended for best performance and universal traffic support
SOCKS4 — older protocol, supported but not recommended
SSH — for SSH tunnel connections

SOCKS5 is the recommended choice for most multi-account operations in Dolphin Anty.

Step 4: Enter Proxy Details

Fill in the fields:

Host/IP: Your proxy server address (e.g., sg.dataresearchtools.com)
Port: The port number (e.g., 1080 for SOCKS5, 8080 for HTTP)
Login: Your proxy username
Password: Your proxy password

Alternatively, you can paste the proxy in a single-line format:

socks5://username:password@host:port

Dolphin Anty will parse and populate the fields automatically.

Step 5: Check the Proxy

Click the Check Proxy button (or the checkmark icon). Dolphin Anty will test the connection and display:

Connection status (success or failure)
IP address the proxy resolves to
Country and city
IP type information

If the check fails:

Verify your credentials for typos
Confirm the proxy is active and not expired
Try switching between HTTP and SOCKS5
Check if your proxy provider requires IP whitelisting

Step 6: Configure Fingerprint to Match Proxy

After confirming the proxy works, align the fingerprint settings with the proxy’s geographic location. In the profile editor:

Timezone: Set to match the proxy location. Dolphin Anty can auto-fill this based on the proxy check. For a Singapore proxy, set to Asia/Singapore.

WebRTC: Set to “Altered” to replace your real IP with the proxy IP in WebRTC connections. Never set to “Real” for multi-account work.

Geolocation: Enable geolocation spoofing. Set latitude and longitude coordinates near the proxy’s city. Dolphin Anty can auto-fill these based on the proxy IP.

Language: Set the browser language to match the proxy country. For Singapore: English. For Indonesia: Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia).

Canvas, WebGL, Audio: Use “Noise” mode for all three. This generates unique but realistic fingerprints per profile without blocking these APIs entirely.

Step 7: Save and Launch

Click Create to save the profile. Then click the Start button next to the profile in your list.

Verify the setup by visiting browserleaks.com or whoer.net to confirm IP, timezone, language, and fingerprint consistency.

Proxy Manager

Dolphin Anty includes a centralized proxy manager that simplifies proxy management across many profiles.

Adding Proxies to the Manager

Navigate to Proxies in the left sidebar
Click Add Proxy
Enter proxy details or paste a list of proxies
Each proxy is saved with a name, type, and credentials
Proxies can be tagged and organized

Assigning Proxies from the Manager

When creating or editing a profile, instead of entering proxy details manually, click Select from proxy list. Choose a saved proxy from the manager. This prevents credential entry errors and makes proxy swapping easier.

Bulk Proxy Import

To add many proxies at once:

Go to Proxies > Import
Paste your proxy list, one per line:

socks5://user:pass@host:port
http://user:pass@host:port
host:port:user:pass

Click Import to add all proxies to the manager
Assign them to profiles individually or during bulk profile creation

Bulk Profile Creation

Method 1: Mass Create

Click Create Profile and then Mass Create
Set the number of profiles
In the proxy section, choose From proxy list or paste a proxy list
One proxy is assigned per profile
Fingerprint settings are randomized per profile automatically
Click Create to generate all profiles

Method 2: Import Profiles

Dolphin Anty supports importing profiles from CSV or JSON format. Prepare a file with columns for:

Profile name
Proxy type
Proxy host
Proxy port
Proxy username
Proxy password
OS type
Tags

Upload the file, and Dolphin Anty will create profiles with pre-configured proxies.

Scenarios (Automation)

Dolphin Anty’s Scenarios feature provides no-code automation similar to AdsPower‘s RPA. You can build automated workflows that run within browser profiles.

How Scenarios Work with Proxies

Each scenario runs inside a specific browser profile, using that profile’s proxy and fingerprint. The automation sees the web exactly as a manual user would through that profile.

Building a Scenario

Go to Scenarios in Dolphin Anty
Click New Scenario
Add actions:

Open URL — navigate to a page
Click — click an element by selector
Type — enter text in a field
Wait — pause for a specified time or until an element appears
Screenshot — capture the current state
Cookie collection — gather and save cookies

Configure execution:

Select target profiles
Set delays between actions (randomize for natural behavior)
Choose sequential or parallel execution

Run the scenario

Scenario Best Practices

Randomize delays between 2-10 seconds to avoid bot detection
Run sequentially when profiles share a proxy subnet
Monitor execution through the scenario log
Test with one profile before running across many

Cookie Robot

Dolphin Anty’s cookie robot automates the profile warming process. It visits a list of URLs in each profile to build a natural browsing history and cookie set before you use the profile for actual work.

Setting Up Cookie Robot

Create a list of URLs relevant to your profiles’ intended use
For Facebook ad accounts: include social media sites, news sites, and general browsing
For e-commerce: include shopping sites, review sites, and category pages
Assign the URL list to profiles
Run the cookie robot — it will visit each URL in each profile using that profile’s proxy

This step is critical for new profiles. Platforms are suspicious of accounts that appear on a fresh browser with no browsing history.

Team Features

Multi-User Access

Dolphin Anty’s team plans allow multiple users to work with shared profiles:

Admin: Full control over profiles, proxies, and team settings
Teamlead: Can manage profiles and assign tasks
User: Can launch assigned profiles and run scenarios

Profile Transfer

Profiles can be transferred between team members without changing proxy configurations. The receiving team member gets full access to the profile including its proxy, fingerprint, and saved session data.

Activity Logs

All profile launches, edits, and proxy changes are logged. Use these to audit team activity and troubleshoot issues.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Proxy Connection Failed

Verify credentials are entered correctly with no extra spaces
Check if the proxy is expired or at its connection limit
Try switching between HTTP and SOCKS5
Ensure your firewall is not blocking outbound connections on the proxy port

IP Leak Detected

Confirm WebRTC is set to “Altered” in the profile settings
Check for DNS leaks at dnsleaktest.com after launching the profile
Ensure no system-level VPN is interfering with the profile’s proxy

Slow Profile Performance

Test the proxy speed independently
Use a proxy server geographically closer to you
SOCKS5 typically offers better throughput than HTTP
Limit the number of simultaneously running profiles

Fingerprint Inconsistency Detected

Timezone must match the proxy IP’s location
Language must match the proxy country
Canvas, WebGL, and audio should be in “Noise” mode, not “Off”
User agent OS should match the profile’s configured OS

Recommended Proxy Types

Use Case	Recommended Proxy	Notes
Facebook/TikTok ads	Mobile proxies	Highest trust for ad platforms
Affiliate marketing	Mobile proxies	Match GEO to offer targeting
E-commerce (Shopee, Lazada)	Mobile proxies	SEA platforms expect mobile traffic
Social media management	Mobile or residential	Consistent IP for account safety
Web scraping	Rotating residential	Fresh IPs for each request

For Southeast Asian markets, mobile proxies provide the most authentic appearance because the majority of internet users in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines access platforms via mobile devices. Using a mobile proxy from a local carrier makes each profile look like a genuine mobile user.
