How to Add Mobile Proxies in Dolphin Anty — Quick Guide

A quick guide on adding mobile proxies to Dolphin Anty: what data to prepare, where to enter host, port, username and password, when Change IP URL is needed, how to check the connection, and which mistakes most often prevent a profile from working properly.

A mobile proxy in Dolphin Anty is not a “magic fix” and not a universal solution for every advertising issue. It is a regular network setting inside a separate browser profile. It is used when you need a specific profile to open websites through a selected proxy server instead of your current direct connection.

The main task is to enter the data carefully, check the connection, and avoid changing extra profile parameters without a clear reason. If the proxy is entered incorrectly, the profile may fail to load websites, show the wrong region, lose connection, or make it harder to diagnose a landing page, dashboard, tracking setup, and other working elements.

What to prepare before setup

Before opening Dolphin Anty, collect the proxy details from your provider. This helps you avoid guessing the format and accidentally mixing up the host, port, username, password, or protocol.

  • Connection type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 — depending on what your provider gives you.
  • Host or IP: the server address used for the connection.
  • Port: the connection port.
  • Username and password: login details if the proxy uses authentication.
  • Change IP URL: a link for changing IP if your mobile proxy provider supports it.
  • GEO and carrier: country, city, or mobile carrier if these details matter for your check.

If you are still learning why this connection type may be useful, start with the related article on why marketers need mobile proxies and what their advantages are. It explains proxies as a tool for checking GEO, landing pages, redirects, mobile speed, and the user path, not as a promise of advertising results.

Step 1. Create or open a profile in Dolphin Anty

Open Dolphin Anty and choose where you want to add the proxy: to a new profile or to an existing one. If the profile is new, give it a clear name so you can later understand which project, region, or check it belongs to.

  1. Click the profile creation button.
  2. Enter a profile name: for example, project, GEO, or check type.
  3. Add tags if you use them for sorting.
  4. Do not manually change advanced profile parameters if you do not clearly understand why you need them.
  5. Go to the proxy settings block.

Manual adjustment of every parameter “by eye” often creates more problems than benefits. This page is not about fine-tuning the whole profile. The task here is simple: connect a mobile proxy correctly and check that the connection works.

Step 2. Add the proxy to the profile

In the proxy block, choose the option to add a new proxy and enter the data in the format supported by your provider. HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 are the most common options. Do not mix protocols: if your provider gave you SOCKS5, choose SOCKS5; if it gave you HTTP, choose HTTP.

General SOCKS5 format example:

socks5://username:password@host:port

General HTTP format example:

http://username:password@host:port

Some tools ask you to enter the data not as one line, but in separate fields:

  • protocol — connection type;
  • host or IP — server address;
  • port — connection port;
  • login — username;
  • password — password.

If there is an extra space, wrong port, wrong protocol, or mixed-up username and password, the profile may fail to connect. After pasting the data, check the line manually, especially if you copied it from Telegram, email, a spreadsheet, or a provider dashboard.

Step 3. Add Change IP URL only when needed

The Change IP URL field is not always required. It is used when the mobile proxy provider gives you a separate link for changing the IP. In that case, you can add the link to the profile and change IP from the Dolphin Anty interface without opening the provider dashboard every time.

If you do not have such a link, do not invent it yourself. Leave the field empty and ask the provider whether IP change by URL is supported. Different services work differently: some change IP manually, some by timer, some through a separate button, and some do not support IP changes in the selected plan.

If you need to understand when changing IP makes sense and when it is better not to touch the connection without a reason, read the related article on IP rotation: when you really need it in Facebook Ads. It explains sticky sessions, rotating mode, and technical checks without chaotic network switching.

Step 4. Check the connection after launching the profile

After saving the settings, start the profile and open any IP checking service. At this stage, do not immediately log into ad dashboards or change important settings. First make sure the proxy itself works correctly.

  • check whether websites open;
  • see whether the country matches the GEO you expected;
  • check whether the connection drops after a few minutes;
  • make sure the speed is suitable for your task;
  • compare whether the landing page works from this connection the same way as from your regular network;
  • record the result: date, profile, GEO, provider, link, or error.

If the goal is to check a landing page, form, redirect, or mobile speed before launch, first go through the full user path: open the page, click the button, check the form, messenger, UTM tags, and mobile loading. For general campaign preparation, use the guide Facebook Ads launch: 48-hour timeline and checkpoints.

If the proxy does not work

Do not rush to change everything at once. In most cases, the issue is one small detail: wrong protocol, password error, wrong port, expired plan, IP authorization restriction, or a temporary provider-side problem.

  • Websites do not open. Check host, port, protocol, username, and password.
  • The wrong country is shown. Check the GEO in the provider dashboard and make sure you are not using a shared endpoint.
  • The profile asks for authorization again. Check whether the network changes during one working session.
  • Speed is low. Compare several websites and ask the provider about current load.
  • Change IP URL does not work. Check whether the link is active and whether your plan supports IP change by URL.
  • It works in one profile but not in another. Compare proxy settings and make sure the data was not pasted with an error.

If the issue is not related to the proxy but to Business Manager access, payments, roles, or Meta sections, do not search for the cause in the network at random. For navigation across the needed sections, use the page with 60+ useful links for Facebook Ads.

What you should not do

  • Do not use a proxy as an explanation for every advertising issue.
  • Do not change IP during an important working session without a clear reason.
  • Do not store username, password, and Change IP URL in open chats.
  • Do not share profile access with people who do not need this project.
  • Do not put the same proxy into different profiles if it will make diagnostics confusing later.
  • Do not expect a proxy to fix a weak landing page, billing error, rejected creative, or incorrect roles.

If you are comparing connection options for work and diagnostics, you can review the mobile proxies section. Compare clear parameters instead of loud promises: GEO, protocol, speed, delivery format, rotation, connection stability, and support.

Bottom line

To add mobile proxies to Dolphin Anty, create or open a profile, choose the proxy type, carefully enter host, port, username, and password, add Change IP URL if needed, and check the connection after launching the profile.

Use this setup as a technical tool: for separating work checks, viewing a landing page from the needed GEO, diagnosing speed, redirects, and the user path. Do not turn proxies into a promise of stability, and do not use network switching instead of proper checks of BM, roles, payments, creatives, and the landing page.
