Dolphin Anty proxy setup: a static IP for every browser profile

Dolphin Anty, written Dolphin {anty} in its own docs, gives every browser profile a fingerprint of its own the moment you create it. What it cannot make up is the IP. This Dolphin Anty proxy setup guide adds a proxy with a username and password to a profile, saves proxies on the Proxy screen so you can reuse them, checks the connection, and fixes “Error checking connection to proxy”.

Checked against Dolphin Anty docs in September 2026. Their guide to adding a proxy is the reference if a screen has moved.

The proxy formats Dolphin Anty accepts

Dolphin takes the whole proxy as one line, in any of three orders, and splits it for you. A scheme in front sets the proxy type:

IP:PORT:USER:PASS
USER:PASS@IP:PORT
http://IP:PORT:USER:PASS
socks5://USER:PASS@IP:PORT

Copy the IP, port, username and password from your dashboard. Use one static IP per profile and do not move it between profiles; the antidetect browser proxy guide explains why that matters more than the proxy type.

How to add a proxy in Dolphin Anty

In the profile creation window, choose New Proxy, paste the proxy line, and click the arrows at the right end of the line. Dolphin checks the connection and shows the IP’s location and timezone. Then click Create profile.

1. On the Browser Profiles screen, click Create profile in the top right corner.
2. Enter a profile name. Naming it after the client or market saves confusion later.
3. In the proxy part of the window, choose New Proxy and paste the line in one of the formats above. Put http:// in front if you want to be explicit about the type.
4. Click the arrows at the right edge of the line. Dolphin checks the connection and shows the proxy’s geolocation and timezone. Make sure the country is the one you bought.
5. Leave Link to change IP empty. It is for rotating proxies that change address on request, and a static IP has none.
6. Leave the fingerprint as it is; Dolphin generates a new one for each profile. Click Create profile, then Start.

Save proxies on the Proxy screen for reuse

Every proxy you add is kept in Dolphin’s list. You can also add proxies there first and assign them to profiles later:

1. Open the Proxy screen and click Add Proxy, in the centre of an empty screen or next to the search bar at the top right.
2. Paste the proxy the same way and check it.
3. When creating a profile, choose Select a proxy instead of New Proxy, and pick it from the list.

To edit a saved proxy, click its name on the Proxy screen, change the details or the type, and click Save. On a team account, Share gives other users of the same account access to a proxy, which keeps one client’s address with the colleague who works on that client.

Changing the proxy on an existing profile

On Browser Profiles, find the Proxy column and click the pencil next to it. Choose No proxy, New proxy or Select a proxy. If you cannot see the column, add it with Customize columns.

Many profiles at once

On paid plans, tick the profiles and click Change Proxy in the action bar at the bottom. There is a Random option that shares a pool of proxies out across the selection; skip it for profiles you keep, and give each one its own. For creating many profiles from a spreadsheet, Dolphin’s bulk import template has a proxy column per profile.

Timezone, language, geolocation and WebRTC in Dolphin Anty

Dolphin takes timezone, language and geolocation from the proxy when they are set to Auto, and its docs recommend leaving them there:

• Timezone: Auto takes it from the proxy. Manual is there, but Dolphin warns it must match the IP.
• Language: Auto uses the language of the proxy’s country. Chrome’s own settings inside the profile show your system language, which is normal: websites see the Language setting, not the menu language.
• Geolocation: Auto takes the location from the IP. Manual lets you enter coordinates and an accuracy.
• WebRTC: choose Altered, which reports the proxy’s IP. Without UDP blocks non-proxied UDP traffic and is a fair alternative. Real ignores the proxy and exposes your connection’s IP, and Dolphin marks Off as not recommended.

Auto can only be as right as the IP’s country. Our static ISP proxies are sold by country, so you get the location you picked; residential exits cannot be pinned to one.

How to check the proxy in a running profile

1. Start the profile and open https://httpbin.org/ip. The origin should match the IP in your dashboard.
2. Open a WebRTC leak test page. Your home IP must not appear.

Dolphin Anty proxy not working? Fixes

“Error checking connection to proxy”

This shows as a red exclamation mark by the Start button, red arrows on the Browser Profiles screen, or a red Error status on the Proxy screen. Dolphin’s docs are frank that the app only connects a proxy to the profile and does not control it, so the cause is one of three: your connection cannot reach the proxy, the proxy is not answering, or, rarely, Dolphin’s checker cannot reach it.

Separate them by testing outside Dolphin. From your own computer:

curl -x http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT https://httpbin.org/ip

If that works and Dolphin does not, try another network, or a VPN, which is what Dolphin itself suggests when your provider blocks the connection. If curl fails too, check the details against your dashboard and that the order is active.

407 or a login that never works

The proxy rejected the credentials. Paste them again, watching for spaces and for the order: IP:PORT:USER:PASS and USER:PASS@IP:PORT are both fine, but mixing the two is not. The 407 guide has the rest.

Timeouts

Nothing answered on that IP and port. Check the port, and check the scheme: a socks5:// line against an HTTP port times out or fails. The connection timeout page covers the causes.

Most sites open, one does not

Dolphin’s docs put this down to the site refusing that IP, and that is usually right. Tell us which site and which IP. For the next profile, choose the line for the sites it will work with: some sites do not serve datacenter ranges at all, and the proxy type guide shows how to tell before you buy rather than after.

The wrong country shows up

Location databases disagree. Compare what Dolphin’s check shows with the site you work on; the site is what counts.

What these profiles are for

Separate profiles on separate IPs are for things like managing client accounts you are authorised to use, ad verification and testing. We do not support fake-account farms or getting round a platform’s ban, and each platform’s terms still apply. The antidetect browser guide and the acceptable use policy have the details. Also running Multilogin? The Multilogin proxy guide covers it.
