# Proxy & Fingerprint Setup per Platform

Quick reference for choosing the right proxy type and fingerprint configuration for each platform. For detailed setup steps, see the individual platform guides.

A practical guide to configuring proxies and browser fingerprints for different platform types.

Most modern websites evaluate sessions using a combination of:

* IP address and location
* browser fingerprint
* session history and cookies
* login patterns

If these signals are inconsistent, platforms may trigger verification checks or restrict activity.

In Gologin, each browser profile represents a separate device. To maintain stability, proxy and fingerprint settings must remain consistent and realistic.

## Quick checklist

Before you start:

* 1 account = 1 browser profile
* 1 profile = 1 proxy
* Keep proxy location stable
* Do not change fingerprint after setup
* Align proxy location with browser settings

## Why consistency matters

Platforms evaluate multiple signals together.

Common inconsistencies that trigger checks:

* IP location does not match timezone
* frequent changes in fingerprint settings
* multiple accounts sharing one proxy

Example:

* proxy in Germany + timezone in US
* same proxy used across multiple accounts

Maintaining consistency helps sessions appear like real users.

## Step 1. Set up profile correctly

When creating a profile in Gologin:

* assign a dedicated proxy
* keep fingerprint settings unchanged
* ensure realistic device parameters

Each profile should behave like a separate physical device.

Avoid:

* reusing profiles for multiple accounts
* modifying settings after first use

## Step 2. Choose proxy type

Different use cases require different proxy types:

| Platform type | Recommended proxy     |
| :------------ | :-------------------- |
| Social media  | Residential / Mobile  |
| Advertising   | Residential           |
| Marketplaces  | Residential           |
| Crypto        | Residential           |
| Web scraping  | Datacenter / Rotating |

**Residential proxies - higher trust**\
**Datacenter proxies - higher speed**

## Step 3. Keep fingerprint stable

Fingerprint stability is critical.

To maintain consistency:

* avoid changing fingerprint parameters
* keep device type consistent
* do not switch OS or major settings

Example of risky behavior:

* switching from Windows to Mac profile
* changing screen resolution drastically

## Step 4. Align proxy and browser settings

Your profile settings should match proxy location.

Recommended alignment:

* Timezone matches proxy country
* Language matches region
* IP location matches browser environment

Large mismatches may trigger verification checks.

## Common setup mistakes

The most common issues:

* using multiple accounts on one proxy
* frequent proxy region changes
* inconsistent fingerprint settings
* mismatch between IP and browser settings

## Key takeaway

Platforms evaluate device and network signals together.

To maintain stability:

* keep proxy and fingerprint consistent
* avoid changes after setup
* match environment settings

Consistent profiles behave like real devices, which reduces verification checks and improves long-term stability.
