    Find the matching proxy details in My Proxies

    Sign in to Dashboard → My Proxies. Find the proxy you want to use and click Switch format under Proxy parameters to view its HTTP or SOCKS5 connection details. Note the connection address, port, username, password, and the IP address for the final check. Use your own values, not the masked example below.

    Use the connection address and port for the protocol selected in the browser. Keep the IP address shown in My Proxies to compare with the browser’s exit IP after setup.

    Keep proxy credentials private. Do not share a screenshot with your real username or password.

    Check the proxy

    Run the proxy check and wait for a passing result.

  6. 6

    Save the profile

    After the check passes, save this browser profile.

  7. 7

    Open and verify the profile

    Open the profile you just saved and compare its exit IP with My Proxies on an IP-check site.

    In the profile you just opened, enter this address to see its public IP: api.ipify.org

Troubleshooting

If BitBrowser rejects the format, remove any protocol prefix from Host and put the port in Port rather than combining the two.
