Setting up a proxy in SessionBox Extension & Workstation

SessionBox offers a secure and anonymous way to manage numerous active web browsing sessions. It enables you to use multiple accounts simultaneously within a single window, ensuring privacy and anonymity. Additionally, SessionBox allows you to utilize proxies for each session, enhancing your browsing experience by making it untraceable.*

SessionBox vs. Multilogin
SessionBox and Multilogin are two distinct solutions with varying features and pricing structures. However, SessionBox can be considered as a viable alternative to Multilogin. Both platforms provide features like managing multiple browser profiles, integrating with proxies, controlling browser fingerprints, and facilitating team collaboration. Notably, SessionBox offers a cost-effective option compared to the relatively higher-priced Multilogin.
