How to Set Up Evomi Proxies in Octobrowser: Complete Guide

Why Pair Evomi Proxies with Octobrowser?

In the world of online privacy and multi-account management, your tools are everything. You've probably landed on Octobrowser because you need a robust antidetect browser that can create and manage distinct browser fingerprints. It's a top-tier choice for keeping your digital identities separate and secure. But a unique fingerprint is only half the battle. To complete the picture, you need a pristine, reliable IP address for each identity. That's where we come in.

Evomi provides high-speed, ethically sourced proxies from a massive global pool. By channeling Octobrowser's unique profiles through our Residential, Datacenter, or Mobile proxies, you create a digital persona that is virtually indistinguishable from a regular user in any part of the world. This combination is essential for tasks like e-commerce management, ad verification, web scraping, and social media marketing without running into blocks or captchas.

Think of it this way: Octobrowser builds the car, and Evomi provides the untraceable license plate and a clean road to drive on.

What You’ll Need to Get Started

Before we dive into the technical bits, let's make sure you have everything ready. It’s a short list:

• An active Octobrowser account.

• An Evomi account. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up and take advantage of our completely free trial for Residential, Mobile, and Datacenter proxies to follow along.

• Your Evomi proxy credentials. You’ll find your proxy user, password, and our endpoints in your Evomi dashboard.

• Your Evomi API Key. This is needed for the auto-rotate feature. You can find it in your dashboard under your user profile section.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Evomi Proxies in Octobrowser

Alright, let's get these two powerhouses working together. The process is straightforward. Follow these steps, and you'll be up and running in minutes.

Step 1: Navigate to the Proxy Manager

First, open your Octobrowser application. On the top menu, you'll see a "Proxies" tab. Click on it to switch to the Proxy Manager, where all your saved proxies will live.

Step 2: Add a New Proxy

Inside the Proxy Manager, you’ll find a button to add a new proxy. It’s typically a prominent blue button labeled "Add Proxy". Go ahead and click it to open the configuration window.

Step 3: Configure Your Evomi Proxy Details

This is the most important step. You'll be presented with a form to enter your proxy's information. Let's break down what to put in each field. You can either paste the single-line proxy string (ctrl/cmd + v) or fill in the individual fields.

A standard Evomi proxy string looks like this:

Here's how to fill out the form:

• Title: Give your proxy a memorable name, like "Evomi Residential US" or "Evomi DC for Task 1".

• Proxy Type: Choose the protocol you want to use. Evomi supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5.

• Host & Port: Enter the Evomi endpoint and port for your chosen proxy type. For example, for our Residential Proxies via HTTP, you would use rp.evomi.com as the host and 1000 as the port.

• Login & Password: Enter your proxy user and password from the Evomi dashboard.

  
  

Pro Tip: Using Sticky Sessions

For many tasks, you need to keep the same IP address for a certain period. Evomi makes this easy with session control. To create a "sticky" session, simply add the session parameter to your proxy username (Important: A session ID has to be a unique alphanumeric string, 6 to 10 characters long).

For example, if you want to create a session named "socialtsk5", your password would become:

Every profile that uses this exact username will be assigned the same residential or mobile IP. It’s perfect for managing an account without raising flags.

Advanced: On-Demand IP Rotation

What if you need to change your IP address on the fly? Octobrowser has a "URL to change IP" field that works perfectly with the Evomi API. This gives you a new IP from the same pool without changing any settings.

Paste the following URL into that field:

https://api.evomi.com/public/rotate_session?sessionid=SESSIONID&product=PRODUCT&apikey

You'll need to replace the placeholders:

• SESSIONID: This must match the session name you put in your username (e.g., "socialtsk5").

• PRODUCT: Specify the proxy type you are using. Use "rpc" for Residential Core, "mp" for Mobile, or "dc" for Datacenter.

• YOUR_API_KEY: Paste your API key from the Evomi dashboard (found in your profile).

Step 4: Check Your Proxy Connection

Once all the details are entered, it's time to test the connection. Octobrowser has a built-in "Check Proxy" button. Click it and wait a few moments. If everything is configured correctly, you'll see a green "Active" status next to your proxy, along with the IP address and its location. A successful test means you're ready to go!

After saving the proxy, you can assign it to any new or existing Octobrowser profile. When you launch the profile, you can double-check your IP's location and fingerprint using a tool like our free IP Geolocation Checker.

You're All Set!

That's it! You've successfully integrated your high-quality Evomi proxies with Octobrowser. You now have a powerful, professional-grade setup for managing your online activities with enhanced privacy and security. By matching the right proxy type to your tasks and leveraging features like sticky sessions, you can operate efficiently and avoid common roadblocks.

And for our customers who prefer a seamless, all-in-one solution, remember that every Evomi plan includes free, unlimited access to Evomium, our very own antidetect browser designed to work perfectly with the Evomi proxy network from the ground up.
