Do I need a proxy to use Gologin?

A proxy is strongly recommended when managing multiple accounts. While Gologin creates separate browser fingerprints for each profile, websites can still link accounts through the same IP address. Using a different proxy for each profile helps keep sessions isolated.

Can I use my own proxy provider?

Yes. Gologin supports proxies from any third-party provider. You can add external proxies manually in the profile settings, import them in bulk, or manage them through the Proxy Manager.

Which proxy type should I use?

For most account management tasks, residential proxies are recommended because they are harder for websites to detect. Other proxy types may also work depending on your use case:
  • Mobile proxies – high trust, often used for social media platforms
  • Datacenter proxies – faster but easier for websites to detect

Can I use one proxy for multiple profiles?

Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Using the same proxy for multiple profiles may increase the risk that websites link those accounts together. For better isolation, assign a different proxy to each profile.

Why is my proxy not working?

Common reasons include:
  • incorrect IP, port, username, or password
  • proxy server not responding
  • blocked or expired proxy
  • insufficient traffic balance
You can verify your proxy connection using the proxy testing tools in Gologin.

Can I use HTTP and SOCKS proxies in Gologin?

Yes. Gologin supports both HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies. Most proxy providers support these protocols, and Gologin can automatically detect the correct protocol in many cases.

Does Gologin provide built-in proxies?

Yes. Gologin offers integrated proxies that can be attached directly to browser profiles without external setup. You can also use third-party proxies if you need more locations or proxy options.

What does “2 GB residential proxy” mean?

The 2 GB refers to data transfer (traffic), not storage or RAM. It is the amount of data that passes through the proxy while you browse. Regular browsing uses approximately 0.5-1 GB per day per active profile.

If I use my own proxy, does it consume the included 2 GB GoLogin traffic?

No. The included GoLogin proxy traffic is only consumed when using GoLogin’s built-in proxies. Your own third-party proxies use traffic from your proxy provider, not from your GoLogin allowance.

How much proxy traffic will I need?

Rough estimates per profile per day:
  • Light browsing (social media, emails): 0.3-0.5 GB
  • Active work (ads management, content posting): 0.5-1 GB
  • Heavy usage (video calls, media-heavy sites): 1-3 GB
