How to Add a Proxy in AdsPower

One profile, one sticky IP

AdsPower gives every profile its own cookies and its own fingerprint. The proxy decides whether those identities stay apart. Two profiles on one IP look like one person running two accounts, and an IP that changes under a logged-in profile looks like an account that moved. So each profile gets one IP of its own, and that IP stays put for as long as the account lives.

Which SerpProxies product to put in a profile

For any account a profile stays logged in to — ads, social, marketplaces — use static ISP. The address is assigned to you and never rotates, so the account always returns from the same place and the profile's timezone and location never have to change.

Sticky residential sessions fit work that ends within the session: checking local ads or prices, researching, testing a page from a country. You set the session length when you generate the line in the dashboard, and the IP holds for that time — 30 minutes by default, up to 120. When it ends, the next connection gets a new IP, so don't park a long-lived account on it.

Adding many proxies at once

Open Proxies in AdsPower, click Add Proxy and paste your lines, one per line. AdsPower's documented formats are host:port, host:port:username:password, and either with a type prefix such as socks5:// in front. A change-IP URL goes in square brackets and a remark in curly braces at the end.

• A static ISP line with a remark: 104.28.41.7:8000:user:pass{shop-us-01}
• Use the remark for the account name, so each IP is easy to match to its profile later.
• After saving, check the list: the Outbound IP column turns green when a proxy passes, red when it fails and grey while it waits for a check. Check proxy can run on many at once.

To hand proxies out, open the profile's Proxy tab, choose Saved Proxies and pick one. To assign a list to many profiles, select them in the profile list and use Edit proxy from the three-dot button. If you use random assignment, set AdsPower to choose among unused proxies only — choosing from the whole list can put two profiles on one IP.

Bulk Create (the + icon, then Mass import) takes the proxy in the same order: a proxytype column (http, https, socks5) and a proxy column in Host:Port:Username:Password form. Leave proxyurl empty — AdsPower uses it only for mobile proxies.

Let the fingerprint follow the IP

Sites compare the IP's location with what the browser reports. A New York IP with a Berlin timezone and German language is a mismatch most anti-fraud checks look for first. AdsPower can derive these from the proxy's IP, and by default it does.

Because these are worked out from the IP, set the proxy before the profile's first launch, and don't swap it later. If you must change a profile's proxy, close the profile, change it, run Check proxy, and confirm the timezone and location again on the next launch.

If something doesn't work

• Check proxy fails: compare host, port, username and password with the dashboard, and make sure the type matches the port — a residential HTTP port set as SOCKS5 fails. Paste the line again rather than editing fields by hand.
• SOCKS5 authentication error: the username or password is wrong, or the port is the HTTP one. Copy the residential username unchanged, session suffix included, and use the SOCKS5 port the dashboard shows.
• Wrong country: on residential, the country is part of the generated credentials — generate the line for the country you need in the dashboard. On static ISP, the IP's country is fixed; if AdsPower's lookup disagrees with serpproxies.com/tools/ip-checker, the two lookup databases differ, not the proxy.
• WebRTC shows your real IP: WebRTC is set to Real. Switch it to Replace or Disabled, turn on Disabled UDP if your AdsPower version has it, and relaunch.
• The profile shows your own IP: an encrypting extension or system tool is overriding the proxy. AdsPower's own advice is to remove that extension and pause VPN or firewall tools while testing.
• Two profiles show the same IP: they share a line, or random assignment drew from the whole list. Give each profile its own.
• The IP changed overnight: the profile is on a sticky residential session that expired. Move long-lived accounts to static ISP.
