How to Set Up a Proxy in Dolphin Anty

What you need before you start

Three things: a Dolphin Anty account, a DataImpulse plan with traffic on it, and your proxy credentials from the dashboard. The whole setup takes about two minutes per profile once you know the format.

Dolphin Anty proxy format

Dolphin Anty accepts host, port, login and password in one line. This is the exact string to paste, with your own login and password in place of the placeholders:

gw.dataimpulse.com:823@LOGIN:PASSWORD

Targeting is added to the login itself, not to a separate field. Two double underscores separate the login from the parameters, semicolons separate the parameters:

United States exit node
gw.dataimpulse.com:823@LOGIN__cr.us:PASSWORD

United States, New York, sticky for 10 minutes
gw.dataimpulse.com:823@LOGIN__cr.us;ci.newyork;sid.prof01;sessttl.600:PASSWORD

SOCKS5 instead of HTTP
gw.dataimpulse.com:10000@LOGIN__cr.de:PASSWORD

One rule that saves accounts: one Dolphin Anty profile gets one sid, and no other profile ever reuses it. Two profiles sharing a sid means two accounts sharing an IP, which is the fastest way to get both flagged.

How to add a proxy to Dolphin Anty step by step

Step 1. Install Dolphin Anty and create a profile

Download Dolphin Anty, install it and log in. On the main screen click Create Profile. A profile is one isolated browser identity: its own cookies, storage and, importantly, its own proxy.

Step 2. Name the profile and pick the platform

Give the profile a name and tags so you can find it later. Select your operating system (Windows, macOS or Linux). If the profile is for one platform, pick it in the platform field. If you work across several sites, leave it as NONE.

Step 3. Add the proxy

Click New Proxy and choose the protocol: HTTP for most cases, SOCKS5 if your tooling needs it. Paste the connection string in the format Dolphin Anty expects (see the format block above), then pick the proxy type as Residential.

Step 4. Use the credentials from your dashboard

Login and password come from your residential proxies dashboard, not from the browser. Copy them exactly: a trailing space in the password is the single most common reason the test fails. Click the test button next to the proxy to check the connection before you save.

Step 5. Generate a fingerprint

After a successful test click New Fingerprints. Dolphin Anty then aligns the browser fingerprint with the proxy IP: timezone, locale and WebRTC follow the exit node instead of your machine. A residential IP with your real timezone is a mismatch that platforms notice.

Step 6. Save the profile

Click Create in the top panel. The profile now stores the proxy, so every launch uses the same exit IP as long as you keep the same session parameters.

Step 7. Launch and confirm

Press Start. The profile opens with your proxy active. Confirm the exit IP once inside the browser before you log into anything (see the verification section below).

How to check the proxy actually works

The test button inside Dolphin Anty confirms that the credentials authenticate. It does not confirm that you got the country you asked for. Do both checks:

• Inside the profile: open an IP lookup service in the launched browser and compare the country and city with what you requested in the login.
• Timezone and locale: they should match the exit node, not your own machine. If they do not, regenerate the fingerprint.
• WebRTC: it must not leak your real address. Dolphin Anty masks it when the fingerprint is generated after the proxy is attached, which is why the order in step 5 matters.

A proxy that authenticates but returns the wrong country on the first request is normal for one or two attempts while the session settles. If the country is still wrong after three launches, the targeting parameter is malformed.

Dolphin Anty proxy not working: errors and fixes

Rotating, sticky or mobile: which one for which job

Dolphin Anty mobile proxies work exactly the same way: same host, same port, same login format. The difference is the pool your plan gives you, not the configuration. The same connection line works in our other Multilogin, Octo Browser and GoLogin setups.

FAQ

How do I add a proxy in Dolphin Anty?

Open the profile editor, click New Proxy, choose HTTP or SOCKS5, and paste the connection string in the form gw.dataimpulse.com:823@LOGIN:PASSWORD. Set the proxy type to Residential, test the connection, then save the profile.

What proxy format does Dolphin Anty use?

One line with host, port, login and password: gw.dataimpulse.com:823@LOGIN:PASSWORD. Country and session parameters are appended to the login after two underscores, for example LOGIN__cr.us;sid.prof01.

Why does Dolphin Anty say failed to establish proxy connection?

Almost always the protocol and the port do not match. Use port 823 for HTTP and HTTPS and port 10000 for SOCKS5. If the port is right, the next most likely cause is a password copied with a trailing space.

Does Dolphin Anty work with mobile proxies?

Yes. Mobile proxies use the same host, port and login format as residential ones, so nothing changes in the setup. Only the pool behind your login is different.

Can two Dolphin Anty profiles share one proxy?

They can technically, but they should not. Two profiles on one IP links the accounts together. Give every profile its own session id so each one keeps its own exit IP.
