- Conclusion
An antidetect browser lets you run many browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint, cookies and storage. Teams use them to manage social media and e-commerce accounts, test ads in different locations and keep client work separate.
The fingerprint is only half of the identity. Websites also see your IP address, so every profile needs its own proxy: without one, all your profiles share your real IP, which makes them easy to link. In this guide we compare 11 proxy providers for antidetect browsers, show how to set a proxy up in a profile, and explain Floppydata’s username string for creating proxies in bulk.
Seven of the providers were part of our October 2026 residential proxy benchmark, where we ran 302,400 requests through 12 providers with the same scripts, servers and schedule. For them you get measured results; for the other four, details from their own documentation.
Disclosure: this guide is published on Floppydata’s blog, and Floppydata is one of the providers compared. We tested it on the same terms as everyone else and show where it came out behind. Raw data and scripts are public on GitHub. Prices were checked in October 2026. Last updated: October 2026.
TL;DR
• Our #1 pick: Floppydata. It shared first place in our 12-provider benchmark for the fewest IPs flagged as proxies (60.7%, tied with Rayobyte) and was the cheapest per successful request among the seven tested providers here ($0.019 per 1,000). GoLogin used Floppydata residential proxies in its public test of 12 antidetect browsers, where the GoLogin profile running on them passed Pixelscan with no proxy detected. For long-lived profiles, use Floppydata’s static ISP IPs (from $1.79), because its rotating sticky sessions were the weakest in our test.
• Best rotating sticky sessions: Decodo kept the same IP in 82.7% of 30-minute sessions, with a 99.9% success rate.
• Lowest fraud score: NodeMaven had the lowest average fraud score of 12 providers and no high-risk IPs in our sample.
• One proxy per profile: static ISP or sticky residential IPs for accounts, rotating residential for research and scraping.
• Avoid free public proxies: they are shared with strangers, often already flagged, and can expose your accounts.

From our residential proxy benchmark, 5–8 October 2026; bold marks the best result among these seven. “IPs flagged as proxy” is the share of 300 sampled IPs that Scamalytics flagged; Floppydata shares first place of all 12 providers with Rayobyte (ranking). A flag is not a block: websites combine many signals. Prices are what we paid for each package. Full cost ranking: cheapest residential proxies.
How to Choose a Proxy for an Antidetect Browser
Proxy Type
Choose a provider that offers residential, mobile, datacenter and static ISP proxies, so you can match the type to each profile: static ISP or residential for accounts, mobile for mobile-first platforms, datacenter for lightly protected tasks. Tools such as a proxy generator, bulk export and an API save time when you manage many profiles.
Session Control
For long-running account sessions, prefer stable and consistent connections rather than frequent, unnecessary IP rotation. Use static ISP proxies or sticky residential sessions for social media and e-commerce accounts, and rotating proxies for research, price checks and scraping. In our benchmark, providers differed a lot here: some kept the same IP in over 80% of 30-minute sessions, others in under 50%.
IP Reputation
IPs that reputation databases already list as proxies are more likely to meet extra checks. Look for measured data rather than marketing claims: in our benchmark, the share of IPs flagged as proxies ranged from 59.3% to 99.3%.
Geo-targeting
Keep each account’s location consistent: use a proxy location that matches where the account is usually managed from, and set the profile’s language and timezone to match the IP. For checking local content, use IPs in the target market. City-level targeting helps for local accounts and marketplaces; ZIP and ASN targeting help for ad checks and local SEO.
Size of IP Pool
A larger, more diverse pool makes it less likely that two profiles end up on the same IP, and gives you more choice in each city. Treat pool sizes as vendor claims: they are not independently verified.
Price and Support
Compare the cost per successful request, not only the price per GB, and check how fast support answers before you scale.

How to Set Up a Proxy in an Antidetect Browser
The steps are the same in GoLogin, Dolphin Anty, AdsPower, Octo Browser and most other antidetect browsers:
- Create a profile for one account and choose the operating system and browser version.
- Open the profile’s proxy settings (usually a Proxy tab or field) and choose the protocol, HTTP or SOCKS5.
- Paste the proxy: host, port, username and password from your Floppydata dashboard. Many antidetect browsers also accept one line in the host:port:username:password format.
- Run the built-in proxy check, then make sure timezone, language and geolocation are set from the proxy’s IP (most browsers do this automatically).
- Keep the pairing. Use the same proxy with the same profile from then on, and don’t share it with other accounts.
To set up dozens of profiles at once, export your proxies from the Floppydata generator in bulk and import the list into the antidetect browser, or build each profile’s proxy from the username string described below.
How to Use Rotating Proxies in Your Antidetect Browser
You buy rotating proxies by bandwidth. For example, 10 GB of rotating residential traffic can be used for any country. With Floppydata’s proxy generator, you choose the number of proxies, the country and the city, and your proxy credentials appear below.
Breakdown of proxy credentials:
- Hostname: the proxy server address your tool connects to.
- Port: the network port used to connect to that server.
- Username: the login, which also controls the proxy’s country, type, session and rotation.
- Password: the credential used to authenticate access to the proxy.
You can paste this information into any antidetect browser’s proxy settings, or download all proxies in bulk and import them at once.
The username is the key. With Floppydata, only the username changes between proxies with different countries, cities, rotation times or types; the host, port and password stay the same. So instead of generating a list, you can create proxies yourself by editing the username, in a spreadsheet for antidetect imports or directly in your automation code.
How the Floppydata Proxy Username String Works
Here is an example of the username format:
user-XXXX-type-residential-session-1nvajv5x-country-us-city-New_York-rotation-0
This is Floppydata’s smart parameters string. Your account ID, proxy type, session, country, city and rotation time all live inside it. Instead of generating credentials in the dashboard, you let a spreadsheet or your code set the location, type and rotation for each profile, and switch them whenever you need.
Here is an example of how to use a proxy string in Python:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://user-XXXX-type-residential-session-ih76jvbd-country-us-city-New_York-rotation-15:YOUR_PASSWORD@geo.g-w.info:10080',
'https': 'http://user-XXXX-type-residential-session-ih76jvbd-country-us-city-New_York-rotation-15:YOUR_PASSWORD@geo.g-w.info:10080'
}
response = requests.get('http://ip-api.com/json', proxies=proxies)
print(response.text)
In this example, rotation-15 means the IP is guaranteed to change no later than 15 minutes after the session starts.
Parameter Breakdown:
user-XXXXYour account identifier, used to verify access, usage and remaining traffic. Floppydata generates it for you when you create your first credentials.
type-residentialThe proxy type: residential, mobile or datacenter. Residential is the safest choice for antidetect profiles; datacenter is faster but easier to detect.
session-1nvajv5xAssign a unique session ID to each profile to manage sticky sessions independently. If dedicated IP isolation is required, use dedicated static proxies. To apply new settings, such as a different rotation time, change the session ID as well: a session keeps the parameters it was created with.
country-usForces an IP from a specific country. Replace us with the two-letter code of the country you need, for example de or fr.
Narrows the IP to a city. Write multi-word city names with underscores instead of spaces, for example city-Los_Angeles. Leave the parameter out to get any city in the country.
Controls IP rotation, in minutes. rotation-0 keeps the same IP for as long as possible, but the duration isn’t guaranteed. rotation-1 gives a new IP on every request. Any other number is a guaranteed IP change after that many minutes: the IP may change earlier, but not later. For profiles that log in to accounts and need the same IP for weeks, use static ISP proxies.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Generate Proxy Credentials
Step 1 – Get Proxies
Go to the Floppydata dashboard and buy traffic for the proxy type you need. For most antidetect profiles, residential or static ISP proxies work best.
Step 2 – Create Proxy Credentials
Once you have traffic, create as many proxies as you need: choose the rotation type, country, city and password. The username is generated automatically, and you can create more if needed.
Step 3 – Use the Proxy Credentials
Paste the credentials into your antidetect browser profiles, or download all proxies in bulk and import them at once. You can also skip the list and build each proxy from the username string as shown above.
Step 4 – Check Your IP Rotation
Paste your connection string into Floppydata’s IP change detector to confirm that the IP rotates, or stays the same, as you set it.
Step 5 – Check the Profile
Open the profile and check it with the Floppydata proxy checker, IPhey or Pixelscan: the country and city should match your settings, the timezone and language should match the IP, and the fingerprint should be rated consistent.
Your proxies are now ready to use in any antidetect browser.
FAQ
What is the best proxy type for antidetect browsers?
Residential or static ISP proxies for profiles that log in to accounts, mobile proxies for mobile-first platforms, and rotating residential proxies for research and scraping. Datacenter proxies are cheaper but easier for websites to recognize.
How many proxies do I need for an antidetect browser?
Plan for one per profile. With Floppydata’s username string, you can give every profile its own session from one balance; if each profile needs a guaranteed IP of its own, use dedicated static ISP proxies.
Should I use rotating or sticky proxies in an antidetect profile?
Sticky or static for accounts: a login from a new IP on every request looks suspicious. Rotating proxies suit profiles used only for browsing, research or scraping.
Can I use free proxies with an antidetect browser?
Not for accounts. Free public proxies are shared with strangers, many are already flagged, and some may log your traffic. Use them only for quick tests on unimportant profiles.
Do antidetect browsers come with built-in proxies?
Some do, such as GoLogin and 1Browser, but built-in proxies usually give you less control over type, location and sessions. For important accounts, connect proxies from a dedicated provider so you control the type, location and session of every profile.
Conclusion
The right proxy for an antidetect browser depends on what each profile does: static ISP or sticky residential IPs for accounts, mobile IPs for mobile-first platforms, and rotating residential IPs for research and scraping.
For most teams, Floppydata is our #1 pick: it shared first place in our benchmark for the fewest IPs flagged as proxies, was the cheapest per successful request among the seven tested providers here, has been checked in GoLogin’s public antidetect test, and gives you every proxy type plus static ISP IPs on one account, with a username string that makes bulk profile setup easy. If long rotating sticky sessions matter most, Decodo did best in our test; for the lowest fraud scores, look at NodeMaven, and for enterprise scale, Oxylabs.
Start with Floppydata from $19 on the pricing page.
