Incogniton with Mobile Proxies: Setup Guide

Incogniton is an anti-detect browser. Every profile you create inside it gets its own fingerprint, cookies, local storage and browsing history, so one machine can run many separate browser identities without them bleeding into each other. The part Incogniton cannot supply on its own is the network address. Without a proxy, every profile still leaves your office or home IP, and that single detail undoes most of the isolation work. Mobile proxies are the usual fix. At BetterProxies we run our own 4G and 5G modems with real SIM cards on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, so each Incogniton profile can sit behind a genuine US carrier IP. This guide walks through the setup in plain terms, with no fine print, so you know exactly what you are getting before you assign a proxy to your first profile.

What Incogniton needs from a proxy

Incogniton stores proxy settings per profile. In the proxy section of the profile settings you choose a protocol, then enter a host, a port, and optionally a username and password. Incogniton supports both HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 proxies, and it includes a check action that connects through the proxy and reports the external IP and whether the connection succeeded.

Because the browser derives the profile timezone and geolocation from the proxy IP when you leave those fields on automatic, the proxy you plug in shapes far more than the address. A proxy that resolves to a Houston carrier IP gives the profile a Central time zone and a Texas location, which is exactly the consistency an anti-detect profile is supposed to have.

Every BetterProxies proxy exposes the pieces Incogniton asks for. Your dashboard lists the host, the HTTP port, the SOCKS5 port, the username and password, and the per-proxy rotation link. Nothing is hidden behind an extra tier.

Step-by-step: adding a BetterProxies proxy to a profile

Start by opening the proxy you want to use in your BetterProxies dashboard and keeping the tab visible. Then create or edit an Incogniton profile and go to its proxy section.

Pick the protocol first. HTTP(S) is the safe default for ordinary web browsing and is what most people use. SOCKS5 is useful when a profile needs to carry non-HTTP traffic or UDP, since our SOCKS5 endpoint supports UDP. Either way the credentials are the same; only the port changes.

Copy the host into the proxy address field, then the matching port for the protocol you selected. Paste the username and password from the dashboard. Run the check action inside Incogniton. A successful check shows a US carrier IP and, if you left the fields automatic, Incogniton fills in the timezone and geolocation to match. Save the profile and launch it once to confirm a page loads.

• Protocol: HTTP(S) for browsing, SOCKS5 when you need UDP or non-HTTP traffic.
• Host and port: copy exactly from the dashboard; the HTTP and SOCKS5 ports differ.
• Username and password: paste rather than retype to avoid trailing spaces.
• Check the proxy inside Incogniton before saving, then confirm the auto-detected timezone looks right.

Sticky or rotating: which mode fits Incogniton

Our proxies work in two ways. A sticky session keeps the same carrier IP until you rotate it, either by calling the rotation link or through the API. Per-request rotation hands out a new IP on every connection. For an anti-detect browser, sticky is nearly always the right choice. A profile that logs into an account, browses for a while, and comes back tomorrow should look like the same device on the same network, and a stable IP is part of that story.

Rotation still has a place. When you retire a profile, when a session has been open for days, or when you simply want a fresh address before starting a new task, hit the rotation link for that proxy. Rotations are unlimited on every BetterProxies plan, so you never need to ration them. Location moves are free too; just ask and we move the proxy to another metro.

Scaling past a handful of profiles

The rule that keeps large Incogniton setups healthy is one proxy per profile. Sharing one carrier IP across many profiles that log into the same platform links them together, which is the opposite of what an anti-detect browser is for. Buy one BetterProxies proxy for each profile that matters, and treat cheap sharing as a false economy.

Use Incogniton profile groups or tags to mirror your proxy layout. Grouping by city works well: a Chicago group whose profiles all use Chicago carrier IPs, a Miami group on Miami IPs, and so on. Our hardware sits in eight US metros: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, North Carolina and Boston, with Boston on 4G LTE only. That spread lets you keep a profile's stated location, timezone and IP in agreement without effort.

If your team shares profiles, Incogniton's team features let another person open the same profile with the proxy already attached. Each proxy keeps its own credentials, so revoking one person's dashboard access does not disturb the rest.

Troubleshooting common problems

Authentication failures are the most common first-run issue. Almost always the cause is a copied password with a trailing space, or the HTTP port used with SOCKS5 selected. Re-copy both fields from the dashboard and confirm the port matches the protocol.

A timezone or geolocation mismatch usually means the profile was created with a manual timezone before the proxy was added. Switch those fields back to automatic and re-run the check so Incogniton refreshes them from the new IP.

If a site reports your real IP, look at WebRTC and DNS. Incogniton offers WebRTC handling in the fingerprint settings; set it to use the proxy address or disable it. For DNS, prefer SOCKS5 with remote DNS resolution, or make sure the HTTP proxy is handling all traffic rather than only some hosts.

Rotation mid-session is a self-inflicted problem: someone called the rotation link while a profile was logged in, and the site saw the IP change. Keep rotation links out of shared automation for profiles that are actively in use, and rotate only between sessions.

Why our carrier IPs specifically

Anti-detect browsers are only as convincing as the network behind them. Datacenter ranges are widely known, and many residential pools are resold so many times that the address history is a liability. Our proxies are different in a simple way: the IP belongs to a real SIM on a real modem that we own and operate, on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon. Carrier NAT means the address is shared with ordinary phone users, which is why sites treat it as normal traffic.

Speed holds up for browser work. Our 4G proxies typically deliver 20 to 45 Mbps and our 5G proxies deliver 50+ Mbps, which is more than an Incogniton profile needs. Plans start from $5/day with 15 GB of data per day, and daily, weekly and monthly terms are available, so you can trial a single profile before committing to a fleet.
