Introduction

BrowserAct offers two proxy modes:

Static Proxy

Keeps the same IP across sessions.

Dynamic Proxy

Rotates IPs between sessions.
In BrowserAct, the proxy mode is usually paired with a browser environment:

Static Proxy + Standard Browser

Use Static Proxy when you need a stable identity.

Dynamic Proxy + Private Browser

Use Dynamic Proxy when you need a rotating identity.

​
Detail

​
1. Choose the right proxy mode

​
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

  1. Buy a Static Proxy and copy its static-proxy-id.
  2. Bind the proxy when you create or update a Browser.
  3. Launch the Browser in Standard Browser mode.
  4. Keep the same proxy bound to the same account or workflow whenever possible.

​
3. Use Dynamic Proxy with Private Browser

Dynamic Proxy is configured at the browser setting level.

​
For a Browser session

  1. Open BrowserAct Proxy Settings.
  2. Switch the browser mode to Dynamic Proxy.
  3. Choose the region you want to use.
  4. Save the setting and launch the browser in Private Browser mode.

​
For a workflow

  1. Open Workflow Browser Settings.
  2. Select Dynamic Proxy.
  3. Choose the region.
  4. Save the setting.
  5. All browser tasks in that workflow will use the selected Dynamic Proxy configuration.

​
4. Use Static Proxy in Workflow

  1. Open Workflow Browser Settings.
  2. Select Static Proxy as the browser proxy type.
  3. Choose a proxy from the Select Static Proxy list.
  4. Save the setting.
  5. 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
Why this combination works:
  • 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
Why this combination works:
  • 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.
