What’s inside Octo Browser?

Profiles

The Profiles tab displays a list of all created profiles. You can create a profile using the «Quick Profile» or «Create Profile» buttons.  You can find created profiles by name, ID or tag. You can use tags to group and label profiles, such as «facebook», «proxywing» or any other. You can view, edit and delete previously created profiles.

Proxies

The «Proxies» tab allows you to add, delete and modify proxies in Octo Browser. With the «Bulk Add» feature, you can add a large number of proxies from a text file or paste copied proxies.

You can add proxies to Octo Browser in two ways. Bulk add using a file or text in different formats.

To add proxies individually, click «New Proxy». Enter the name of the proxy. Select Internet protocol: SOCKS5, SSH, HTTP. Insert the IP, HOST, LOGING and PASSWORD of the proxy. Check the proxy, if it works correctly, the IP address will be highlighted in green. Click «Confirm». The added proxy should appear in the “Proxies” tab.

Quality fingerprint spoofing and reliable proxies allow you to pass such checkers as PixelScan, Botchecker, etc. without any problems.

Templates

The Templates tab allows you to create and store configurations to quickly create profiles with the same parameters, such as operating system, proxy, tags, fingerprint or password.

The Trash tab contains deleted profiles. Octo Browser users can use the Recycle Bin from any tariff.

Creating a profile template in Octo Browser:

In this chapter, we will detail how to create profile templates in Octo Browser. To create a template, click «Templates» from the top menu. Select «create template».

Next, you need to think of a name for your template and a profile name. All these settings can be changed at any time. On this page, you can add tags for the profiles that will be created using this template.

You can add start pages and bookmarks in the corresponding field. We recommend using our proxy checker.

In the «Storage» section you can customize what data will be saved on your device when the profile is stopped.

Go to the «Fingerprint» section at the top. The digital fingerprint is the aggregate of data about your device that web resources collect. If you just use a proxy or VPN sites will be able to realize it’s a single user. Imagine the proxy is a child’s name and the digital fingerprint is their appearance. If there are 10 kids on the playground who look the same but have different names, is it weird? Yes! That’s why, you need to spoof your data with antidetect browsers. And the better it does it, the more likely it is to bypass different anti-bot systems. Because if the system detects suspicious behavior, such as a large number of accounts with the same fingerprint, it can flag them for inspection, or block them. Octo Browser spoofs digital fingerprints at the browser kernel level, which helps bypass even the most powerful anti-bot systems. In conjunction with quality proxies, it is almost impossible to distinguish Octo profile from a real person.

When creating a template to be used for mass creation of profiles, it is better to leave random parameters in the fields «User agent», «Operating system» and «Screen resolution».

In the settings for language, time zone and geolocation, it is better to manually put all the data under the proxy of the country you are using.

«Hardware settings» and «Advanced connection settings» are better left random when creating a template. The only thing better to change is to set up media devices so that you have one camera, microphone and speakers. It will be weird if you use discord without a microphone in your connected devices or watch videos without speakers.

The «Security» section allows you to password protect your profile login. Also, don’t forget about two-factor authentication for extra protection.

In the «Extensions» section, you can specify the extensions you want from the Chrome Extension Store. To do this, click «Add New», in the «From Store» subsection, paste a link to the page of the extension from the Chrome Extension Store. All extensions are cloud-stored and cached locally on your device. Extensions are available to all team members and are tied to each user’s account.

Mass creation of profiles using templates

After creating a template, go to «Profiles» in the top menu. Click on the three dots next to «Create Profile» and select «Bulk Creation».

On this tab you can create profiles using a profile data file. You can read more about this method on the Octo website. You can use a previously created template. To do this, select the created template on the top left, enter the required number of profiles up to 100 pieces. Click «Add Profiles».

Next you can edit the profiles before creating them, add tags, change the description and connect proxies. To do this, click on the profile name and in the pop-up window enter the required data. To add proxies, click «Proxies» and from the drop-down list, select the ones you want by name if you’ve added them before in the «Proxies» tab, or click «Set a new proxy» to add a new proxy.

When you are done editing profiles click «Create Profiles» in the bottom right corner. The created profiles will appear in the «Profiles» tab in the top menu.

If you pay attention to the international site Trustpilot, you will find that for the last year, the only bad review is related to the lack of a trial period.
