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.
