Static Proxy + Standard Browser

Dynamic Proxy + Private Browser
Use Dynamic Proxy when you need a rotating identity.
Detail
1. Choose the right proxy mode
| Mode | Browser environment | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Static Proxy | Standard Browser | Account management, long-lived logins, social media operations, e-commerce allowlisting, fixed-IP workflows |
| Dynamic Proxy | Private Browser | Web scraping, price monitoring, anti-tracking, ad verification, rotating-IP workflows |
2. Use Static Proxy with CLI and Standard Browser
Use Static Proxy when you want to bind one proxy to one Browser or extraction task.Create a browser with Static Proxy
Create a private-mode browser with Static Proxy
Update an existing browser with Static Proxy
Remove browser proxy
Use Static Proxy during extraction
Extract and save the result
Recommended flow
- Buy a Static Proxy and copy its
static-proxy-id. - Bind the proxy when you create or update a Browser.
- Launch the Browser in Standard Browser mode.
- Keep the same proxy bound to the same account or workflow whenever possible.

- Choose a proxy from the Select Static Proxy list.
- Save the setting.
- All browser tasks in that workflow will use the selected Static Proxy automatically.
5. Business scenarios
The easiest way to choose a proxy is to match the proxy mode with the browser environment and the task goal.Static Proxy + Standard Browser
Use this combination when stability matters more than rotation. Typical scenarios:- Account management
- Social media operations
- E-commerce operations
- Long-lived login sessions
- API allowlisting with a fixed IP
- Static Proxy keeps the IP stable across sessions.
- Standard Browser gives the task a consistent browser environment.
Dynamic Proxy + Private Browser
Use this combination when rotation and session isolation matter more than stability. Typical scenarios:- Web scraping
- Price monitoring
- Anti-tracking tasks
- Ad verification
- Other tasks that do not depend on a fixed IP
- Dynamic Proxy gives you a rotating IP.
- Private Browser keeps the browsing session isolated.
Quick decision guide
Stable IP
Need a stable IP for one account or workflow? Use Static Proxy + Standard Browser.
Rotating IP
Need a rotating IP for extraction or monitoring? Use Dynamic Proxy + Private Browser.
Shared workflow IP
Need all tasks in one workflow to share the same IP? Bind a Static Proxy at the workflow level.
6. Tips
- Use Static Proxy for account-sensitive tasks.
- Use Dynamic Proxy for high-volume or scraping-heavy tasks.
- Avoid switching proxy mode too often for the same account unless you have a clear reason.
- If the proxy you need is not listed, contact support on Discord.
