Overview - Browser-act

BrowserAct supports three proxy options for cloud Bots.

Proxy option	How it works	Best for
Dynamic Proxy	Uses the BrowserAct residential proxy network and can rotate the IP between runs.	Public web extraction, monitoring, and region-specific results
Static Proxy	Assigns a purchased fixed IP to the Bot.	Account-based tasks, stable sessions, and fixed-IP workflows
Custom Proxy	Connects a proxy supplied by your own provider.	Existing proxy infrastructure or provider-specific requirements

Open Proxy Settings

Open Bots, select a Bot, and then select Browser settings. Under Browser Proxy, choose BrowserAct Proxy or Custom Proxy. When using BrowserAct Proxy, select either Dynamic Proxy or Static Proxy.

Choose a Proxy

Use Static Proxy when the Bot needs to keep a stable IP.
Use Dynamic Proxy when IP rotation and regional access matter more than a fixed identity.
Use Custom Proxy when you want to connect a proxy from your own provider.
