Dolphin Anty Mobile Proxy Setup

Dolphin Anty keeps proxies in a saved library rather than only on the profile, which is genuinely useful for rotation links and genuinely dangerous if you reuse one entry across accounts. Here's the setup and the distinction.

The setup, in order

  1. 1Add the proxy to the saved proxy library first, so the credentials exist in one place rather than being retyped per profile.
  2. 2Choose SOCKS5 or HTTP, then enter host, port, username and password.
  3. 3Run the built-in check. It returns the exit IP and the country it resolves to, which is your confirmation the credentials are right before any profile depends on them.
  4. 4Create the profile and select the saved proxy entry, rather than pasting the credentials again.
  5. 5Let the profile derive timezone and locale from the proxy IP, then open it and load an IP-reporting site first.

Menu names in these tools change between releases, so the steps above name the field rather than the button. If a label has moved, the values it wants haven't.

Which protocol to pick

Dolphin Anty takes HTTP and SOCKS5. Both are live at once on a PocketProxy device, so use SOCKS5 unless a specific profile misbehaves on it. The saved entry stores the protocol with the credentials, so getting it right once covers every profile that uses that entry.

One protocol trap worth knowing across all of these: Chromium doesn't support SOCKS5 with a username and password. Anything Chromium-based that talks to the proxy outside the browser's own profile handling, including most scripted setups, wants the HTTP endpoint instead. More in SOCKS5 vs HTTP.

The saved library is per-proxy, not per-account

Because one library entry can be attached to many profiles, Dolphin Anty makes it trivially easy to put five accounts behind one address. It looks tidy in the interface and it's the single worst thing you can do with a mobile proxy.

If you run several accounts, create several library entries against several devices. The reason a carrier IP survives scrutiny is that it's shared with strangers doing ordinary things. Sharing it with four more of your own accounts converts your best asset into a cluster.

Three things that decide whether it holds

These apply whichever browser you run, and they matter more than any setting inside it.

One profile, one proxy, permanently

The pairing is the point. A profile that logs in from one carrier IP for a month and then appears on a different one has told the platform more than any fingerprint setting can hide. Assign the proxy when you create the profile and leave it alone.

Match the timezone and locale to the exit IP

Every one of these browsers lets you set timezone, locale and WebRTC handling per profile, and most will offer to derive them from the proxy's IP. Take that offer. A US carrier IP reporting a European timezone is a mismatch that costs nothing to avoid.

Verify the exit IP before you log in, not after

Open the profile and load any IP-reporting site first. You're checking two things: that the address is the one you expect, and that it reports as mobile rather than hosting. Doing this after a login attempt means the first thing the platform saw was whatever was leaking instead.

Frequently asked questions

Does Dolphin Anty support mobile proxies?

Yes, through the same proxy configuration it uses for any other type. A mobile proxy needs host, port, username, password and a protocol, and Dolphin Anty stores all five in its saved proxy library so multiple profiles can reference one entry.

Can you use one proxy for several Dolphin Anty profiles?

You can, and the saved library makes it easy, but it's the thing most likely to get the accounts linked. Carrier IPs are tolerated because they carry thousands of unrelated real users. Putting several of your own accounts behind one address creates exactly the pattern that stands out inside it.

How do you rotate the IP without breaking a Dolphin Anty profile?

Rotate at the provider, not in the browser. The profile keeps pointing at the same host and port while the carrier address behind it changes, so nothing in Dolphin Anty needs editing. Don't rotate in the middle of a logged-in session, which is a signal no real phone produces.

Setting up a different browser? The antidetect browser proxy hub covers the rest, and running multiple accounts without bans covers the parts no browser setting can fix.

A carrier IP to point Dolphin Anty at

Every PocketProxy is one real Android phone on a real carrier, with HTTP and SOCKS5 live at once and rotation on demand. The trial is 48 hours and takes no card.
