Multilogin proxy setup
Multilogin plans include built-in residential proxies. If you would rather use your own provider, the proxy goes on each profile, under the Proxy tab. Choose an external HTTP proxy instead of the built-in one, fill in the gateway, and the profile runs from a residential IP in the country you choose, priced by the GB.
Multilogin proxy fields
- Open the profile's Proxy tab and choose an external HTTP proxy instead of the built-in one.
- Fill in the fields below. Country targeting goes on the end of the username.
- Press Check proxy before saving. It reports the exit IP and country.
Swap PROXY_USER / PROXY_PASS for the credentials on your dashboard. New here? Create an account to generate a key.
Tips & gotchas
- Use the Check proxy button before saving — it reports the exit IP and country, which is the only confirmation your targeting string parsed.
- Cloud phones take the same gateway (see the FAQ below). Give each phone its own sessid so it keeps its own IP. Multilogin sets a phone's device info from the proxy IP at creation and does not update it when the proxy changes later, so create a new phone for a new country.
- Multilogin matches the profile's timezone and WebRTC to the proxy. Pin the IP with a sessid or those two drift apart on the next request.
- Add a city with ;city.newyork after the country when a profile's history should stay local to one metro. Works on every pool; on all but premium residential that traffic meters at 2×.

Multilogin, answered
How do I use an external proxy in Multilogin?
In the profile's Proxy tab, set the connection type to HTTP (or SOCKS5) rather than the built-in option, then enter gw.proxmint.com, the port, and your username and password. Country targeting goes on the end of the username.
Can I use an external proxy with Multilogin cloud phones?
Yes. Go to Profiles › Mobile › Create, name the phone, choose Custom, pick HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5, and enter the proxy as host:port:username:password, for example gw.proxmint.com:823:PROXY_USER__cr.us;sessid.ml02;sessttl.120:PROXY_PASS (port 824 for SOCKS5). Click Check proxy, review the settings and click Create. Use a different sessid for each phone.
Why does Multilogin flag a timezone mismatch?
It derives the expected timezone from the exit IP. If the IP rotates between checks the two disagree, so pin the profile with a sticky session id and the timezone stays put for the life of that session.
Can I target a city, not just a country?
Yes. Append ;city.newyork to the username after the country key, e.g. PROXY_USER__cr.us;city.newyork;sessid.ml01. State, city, ZIP and ASN work on every pool, including standard residential; that traffic meters at 2× everywhere except premium residential, which bills it flat.
