How to set up a proxy in AdsPower

Set up an HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy in an AdsPower profile and verify it with the Check Proxy button.

What you need

AdsPower supports HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies. You need the host, port, login and password. The full string is HOST:PORT:LOGIN:PASSWORD; for SOCKS5 you can also use socks5://HOST:PORT. If your proxy has a separate SOCKS5 port, use it.

Setup

  1. Click New profile in the top left corner.
  2. Open the Proxy block and choose Custom (or a proxy you saved earlier).
  3. Choose the proxy type: HTTP/HTTPS or SOCKS5.
  4. Enter the details as HOST:PORT:LOGIN:PASSWORD, or fill in the host, port, login and password fields separately.
  5. Click Check Proxy and make sure the check passes.
  6. Finish creating the profile and click Open on the Profiles page.

To save the proxy to a list, open the Proxies section and add lines in the format HOST:PORT:LOGIN:PASSWORD, then pick them in your profiles.

Check

  1. A successful check in the profile shows the message "Connection test passed".
  2. Open the profile and the IP check page on Hopmind: the address should match the proxy address.

Common problems

  1. Proxy error: double-check the host, port, login, password and the proxy expiry date.
  2. Check whether a VPN or another proxy on the device is affecting the connection; turn them off and restart the computer.
  3. Test the proxy on another device or network: if it does not work there either, the problem is the proxy; otherwise it is your network.
