Hidemyacc allows you to create and manage multiple browser profiles, each with unique identities, ensuring comprehensive coverage of your online activities.

How to set up a single proxy in Hidemyacc?

Setting up a single proxy on your Hidemyacc account takes only 7 straightforward steps. Let’s examine them:

1. Download Hidemyacc

To download Hidemyacc, visit the official website and click on the Download button at the top right corner of the page. 

2. Create new profile

After launching the app, select the + Create a new profile option at the top left. Hidemyacc will automatically generate unique fingerprints for each profile, ensuring its uniqueness and security.

3. Configure Your Profile

Add your profile name and other proxy settings to configure your browser profile. 

Then, customize your fingerprinting options as needed. 

4. Select your proxy type

Proceed to the Proxy setting tab and choose Custom Proxy type. Notably, all Webshare proxies support HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols. We will use the HTTP proxy type for this tutorial, as it is the most commonly used one. 

5. Fill in Proxy configuration details

Choose your connection or proxy type and fill in the appropriate configuration details, depending on whether you prefer rotating or static proxies. 

Static IP Address Configuration

Static IP address proxies could be Datacenter or residential proxies. As such, you will need the following information from your account’s proxy list: 

• Proxy type: HTTP or SOCKS5.
• IP/Host: Proxy address number (e.g., 198.123.338.798) 
• Port: Specific number (e.g. 2000)

Rotating IP Address Configuration

For this, use the Rotating Proxy Endpoint for configuration, alongside the following information: 

• Proxy type (Internet protocol): HTTP or SOCKS5
• IP/Host: Profile Name (e.g. p.webshare.io)
• Port: Proxy Port field (e.g., 80)

Adjust the country settings in the Rotating Proxy Endpoint configuration page to use country-specific rotating IP addresses. 

6. Create and test your connection 

Click Check Proxy to test if your proxy is functioning properly. If successful, you will get a positive message. If there are errors, recheck your configuration for any mistakes. 

7. Start Using Hidemyacc with a Proxy

Click Start to launch a new browser profile. When the profile loads, a Chromium-based browser will appear, ready for use. 

You can verify the configuration, especially the IP address, by checking the Hidemyacc information tab in the browser to ensure it matches your setup. 

How to set up batch proxies in Hidemyacc

After learning to add a single proxy in Hidemyacc, you can optionally import multiple proxies using Proxy Manager. Here, you can add proxy lists without first creating a browser profile. Set up proxies and then add or remove them from your browser profiles.

Notably, batch addition can significantly streamline this process, saving time and effort. Before you begin, keep the following tips in mind:

• If the proxy type is not specified, the default is HTTP.
• Bulk proxies can be HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and SOCKS5.
• Enter one proxy per line, with a maximum of 100 proxies at a time.
• Proxy information fields must not contain "@" or ":" symbols, as these will cause parsing errors. If your data includes these symbols, use the [Add Proxy-Single Add] function instead. 

For your batch proxy setup:

1. Get Your Proxies List: You must list in the format IP:Port:Username:Password. Moreover, you are to add one proxy per line. As a Webshare user, you can easily download your configuration by visiting your account’s Proxy list page. After this, open the text file, copy its content, using the above format before proceeding. 

2. Proceed to Proxy Manager: On your Hidemyacc dashboard, expand the left sidebar, click on Proxy Manager, and then Add Proxy.

2. Access Bulk Configuration: After clicking the Add Proxy button, paste the copied text file contents directly into the textbox in Hidemyacc. The proxy table below should populate with your proxies, following the format in the image below.

3. Run Your Batch Setup: If everything works fine, your status should show Ready, just like this: 

By now, you are crystal clear on setting up proxies in Hidemyacc using single and batch methods. Additionally, you can use various proxy IP address types, including Static and Rotating. 

Remember, you can always set up a free Webshare account without needing a credit card and use 10 premium proxies freely. This offer is a perfect way to test Hidemyacc's services, so why not grab it while it’s still available?
