How to set up batch proxies in Dolphin Anty?
Setting up batch proxies in Dolphin Anty is a streamlined process that allows you to manage multiple proxies efficiently. Follow these detailed steps to configure batch proxies:
1. Prepare your proxy list
Ensure that your proxies are listed in a .txt or .csv file. The basic format should be:
- proxyIP: port:username:password
- Example: 192.168.1.1:8080:username1:password1
If you are using Webshare, log into your account, navigate to the Proxy list page, and click the Download button. This will download a text file with your proxy configuration. Open this file and copy all the contents for the next steps.
2. Create proxy
In the dashboard, open the “Proxies” tab on the left panel and click the “+” button to initiate the process of adding proxies in bulk.
3. Paste your proxies
On the left, the available input formats will be displayed. Paste the list of proxies in the selected format into the fields on the right and click the “Add” button.
4. IP rotation
The imported proxies will be displayed in the “Proxy” tab. By clicking on a specific proxy, you can check the connection and, if necessary, add a link for IP rotation.
Later, when creating or editing a profile, instead of manually setting a proxy, you can simply select it from the list and link it to a specific profile.
