2. Keep the HTTP tab and fill in the fields below.
3. Click Test Proxy, then Save & Start.

Swap PROXY_USER / PROXY_PASS for the credentials on your dashboard. New here? Create an account to generate a key.

# pip install kameleo.local-api-client  (with Kameleo running on this machine)
from kameleo.local_api_client import KameleoLocalApiClient
from kameleo.local_api_client.models import CreateProfileRequest, ProxyChoice, Server

client = KameleoLocalApiClient(endpoint="http://localhost:5050")
profile = client.profile.create_profile(CreateProfileRequest(
    name="us-01",  # no fingerprint_id: Kameleo picks a recommended one
    proxy=ProxyChoice(value="http", extra=Server(
        host="gw.proxmint.com",
        port=823,
        id="PROXY_USER__cr.us;sessid.kam01;sessttl.120",  # username
        secret="PROXY_PASS",  # password
    )),
))
client.profile.start_profile(profile.id)

Tips & gotchas

• The HTTP tab is port 823 and the SOCKS5 tab is 824; a profile with one tab and the other port never connects. The SSH tab is for an SSH server of your own and doesn't apply.
• Username and Password say Optional because a proxy can also recognise you by IP. Ours can: add the machine's IP under Access on the product's dashboard page, leave both fields empty, and the product's saved Targeting picks the country. Otherwise fill in both.
• Leave WebRTC, Timezone and Geolocation on Automatic. Kameleo then sets them from the proxy's IP, so a US exit gets a US time zone. A new session can land in a different city of the same country, so add ;city.newyork if a profile must keep one time zone. City targeting meters at 2× on every pool except premium residential.
• Playwright attaches to a running profile at ws://localhost:5050/playwright/<profile id>, and Kameleo's own examples cover Selenium and Puppeteer too. The proxy rides along with the profile, so the script never sees the credentials.

Steer the exit IP from the username

State, ZIP, ASN and every other key: Targeting & sessions.

What is Kameleo?

Kameleo is an antidetect browser built as much for web scraping and automation as for account work. Profiles run on Chroma, its Chromium-based browser, or Junglefox, its Firefox-based one, with real fingerprints and emulated mobile browsers, and a Local API with Python, TypeScript and C# clients drives them from Selenium, Puppeteer or Playwright. Local storage is unlimited on every plan. The Free plan includes 100 cloud profiles and 3 team members; Startup is €59 a month, Business €299 and Enterprise €1,499, each cheaper billed yearly.

Kameleo key features

• Chroma and Junglefox. Kameleo's own Chromium- and Firefox-based browsers, plus emulated mobile browsers for phone fingerprints.
• Fingerprints. Real fingerprints picked per profile, with canvas, WebGL, audio and fonts spoofed; canvas defaults to Intelligent.
• Local API. Runs on localhost:5050 and creates, starts and stops profiles from Python, TypeScript or C#, proxy included.
• Docker. The engine runs in Docker for scraping on servers, not just on a desktop.
• Cloud and local profiles. Profiles stay on your machine without limit, or sync through the cloud to other devices and teammates.
• Teams. 3 members on the Free plan, unlimited from Startup.
