Step-by-step proxy settings guide in Octo Browser

Octo Browser is a convenient multifunctional browser with a high level of anonymity. With it, you can create and manage many accounts at once in social networks, exchanges, and other web resources. Octo Browser is suitable for scraping - multi-threaded data collection and analysis.

Why you need a proxy for Octo Browser

Proxy servers will provide additional anonymity working with the browser. It is very important to have a package of high-quality proxies when working with a large number of accounts because if you access profiles from one IP address, you will be easily blocked. But if you assign 1 proxy per 1 account, each of them will have its IP address, and this will help you avoid blocking.
