How to set up HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies in Incogniton

In Incogniton, create a profile and open Add Proxy. Use Socks 5 with GetIPProxy SOCKS5 details; use HTTPs only when your endpoint explicitly supports an HTTPS proxy. Check the connection before creating the profile.

    Find the matching proxy details in My Proxies

    Sign in to Dashboard → My Proxies. Find the proxy you want to use and click Switch format under Proxy parameters to view its HTTP or SOCKS5 connection details. Note the connection address, port, username, password, and the IP address for the final check. Use your own values, not the masked example below. For Incogniton, use SOCKS5 unless your connection details explicitly offer an HTTPS proxy.

    Example only: the values are masked. Use Switch format to view the connection details in the format you need. Open the full-size Dashboard example

    Use the connection address and port for the protocol selected in the browser. Keep the IP address shown in My Proxies to compare with the browser’s exit IP after setup.

    Keep proxy credentials private. Do not share a screenshot with your real username or password.

  2. 2

    Create a profile

    Click New profile or Create profile. Give the profile a name; group and tags are optional.

    Choose a compatible connection type

    Click Add Proxy. Choose Socks 5 for the Dashboard SOCKS5 format. Incogniton also offers HTTPs; use it only if your connection details explicitly support an HTTPS proxy. Do not assume the Dashboard HTTP format is interchangeable with HTTPs.

    Enter the selected format’s address, port, username and password in the matching fields.

    Check the proxy

    Click Check and wait for the result before creating the profile.

    Create the profile

    Click Create to save this profile.

  7. 7

    Start and verify the profile

    Click Start on this profile in the profile overview. Check its exit IP and compare it with My Proxies.

    In the profile you just opened, enter this address to see its public IP: api.ipify.org

Troubleshooting

If Check reports an authentication error, re-enter the username and password in separate fields rather than pasting a combined proxy line.
