The Incogniton browser is a remarkable tool designed for private, secure browsing. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss what makes the Incogniton browser stand out and highlight its key features. We will also walk you through the simple yet effective steps to configure proxies, whether single or batch. Let’s begin!
What is Incogniton?
The Incogniton browser is a strong contender among the various anti-detect browser options. This tool offers robust online fingerprint protection and management of multiple browser profiles, e-commerce, and social media from only one device.
In addition to its efficient account management, Incognito supports task automation via Selenium or REST API. A huge benefit of the Incogniton browser is that you can enjoy several notable features on the Starter (free) plan.
If you are a business owner, we suggest you turn to the premium versions, as they provide scalability for businesses that need to tailor the browser to their growing needs.
Before starting
You can enjoy Incogniton’s features without subscribing to any plan. However, depending on your activities, it’s ideal to explore more pricing packages before making a final decision.
For a smooth plan transition, you certainly will need proxies. Luckily, Webshare currently offers 10 premium proxies. Simply create an account to receive your free proxies and use the Incogniton browser to its full capacity!

5. Create your proxy

In the case of a rotating proxy, check the Rotating proxy option. Here is the general overview of a rotating proxy or IP address configuration:
Rotating IP address configuration
For this option, use the Rotating Proxy Endpoint for configuration following this simple format:
- Proxy type (Internet protocol): HTTP or SOCKS5
- IP/Host: Profile Name (e.g. p.webshare.io)
- Port: Proxy Port field (e.g., 95)
Don’t forget to adjust the country settings on the Rotating Proxy Endpoint configuration page. This adjustment enables you to use a country-specific rotating IP address. Upon completion, click Check Proxy and Create Profile to begin.
If you decide not to click on Rotating proxy, your proxy configuration will automatically be set to a static proxy. Here is a brief look into the static proxy or IP address configuration:
Static IP address configuration
Notably, this type of configuration could be a data center or residential proxy. If you opt for a static IP configuration, you must obtain information from your account’s proxy list:
- Proxy type: HTTP or SOCKS5.
- IP/Host: Proxy address number (e.g., 198.111.338.798)
- Port: Specific number (e.g. 2000)
Depending on your preferences, you can also organize your proxies into groups.
To do this, select the proxy you want to move and click on the three-dot menu on the right sidebar. Then, choose the appropriate group.
Save your action; voila, your proxies are automatically added to the new group.
6. Activate your proxy
Click the Start button on your new profile, as illustrated below, to activate your proxy.
