What is Incogniton Browser?

Incogniton is an anti-detect browser that offers protection from browser fingerprinting. Therefore, it allows you to manage multiple social media and e-commerce accounts effectively without restrictions or IP bans. 

Incogniton has an easy-to-use interface. The free package provides access to managing 10 browser profiles. Cookie management is an exciting feature of this browser. You can automate browser operations with REST API, Puppeteer, or Selenium. In addition, the synchronizer automates repetitive browser steps so it is easier for team members to use. 

This guide will examine how to install Incogniton and how to install a proxy profile.

  • There are various proxy types  so when integrating NetNut proxies, choose HTTP or SOCKS5 protocol

This is an example of a proxy string for a browser :

USERNAME-stc-uk-sid-123456789:PASSWORD@gw-am.ntnt.io:5959

  • Hostname Configuration

Copy the hostname/server address provided by NetNut

Example: Type gw-am.ntnt.io into the host field if you are using HTTP protocol. Alternatively, type gw-socks-am.ntnt.io for SOCKS5 protocol

  • Port number Configuration

The Port number for NetNut HTTP proxies is 5959 and 9595 for SOCKS5

  • Username Configuration

Username is your login, which you can find in your NetNut account in Settings -> Billing.

Proxy-type is the proxy type that you use. NetNut provides three different proxy types depending on your subscription plan. Your username should have three components including your user ID, type of proxy( residential, datacenter, static) and target country.

·         dc — datacenter;

·         res — rotating residential proxy;

·         stc — static residential proxy.

Country is the country whose IP addresses will be used for connection. You can choose “Any,” in which case any available country will be used, or you can provide the ISO code of a specific country from the list of NetNut Available Countries: e.g., jp(Japan), fr(France).

Example: ticketing123-res-us

This is where you get the proxy username and password from the customer portal. You can also get in touch with your account manager if you’d like additional assistance.

  • Consistent IP session

While NetNut provides rotating IP addresses, you may want static IP address. This can be useful when you want to maintain your  session via the same IPs. Then you need to incorporate a session id (SID) with your username.

How do you choose a SID?

  • Choose a number between 4 to 8 digits
  •  Ensure the numbers are random and non-sequential to protect your IP address

For example: ticketing123-stc-us-SID-435765

  • Proxy password

Insert the confidential NetNut proxy password

Step 6: The result of the Proxy check determines if you need to use another proxy server or check the IP address. If the check is negative, you will see a result like this:

Step 7: When the Check Proxy message is in green, it means the proxy server is working and you can select Create Profile on the right side of the dashboard
