# Gologin vs 3rd-party proxies

Gologin supports two ways to use proxies with browser profiles:

* **Gologin proxies** – integrated proxies managed directly inside Gologin
* **3rd-party proxies** – proxies purchased from external providers and added manually

Both options allow you to assign a separate IP address to each browser profile, helping isolate sessions and reduce the risk of accounts being linked.

## Gologin proxies

Gologin proxies are built into the Gologin environment and can be assigned to profiles without additional configuration.

Key characteristics:

* quick setup inside the application
* proxy assignment directly from the **Profiles** page
* built-in traffic monitoring
* simplified proxy management

This option is suitable if you want a **simple and fast setup** without using external proxy providers.

## 3rd-party proxies

3rd-party proxies are purchased from external proxy providers and manually added to Gologin.

They provide:

* access to large proxy networks
* more location options
* control over proxy rotation and sessions
* compatibility with existing proxy infrastructure

This option is typically used in **larger or more advanced setups**.

## Choosing the right option

| Option                | Best for                                       |
| :-------------------- | :--------------------------------------------- |
| **Gologin proxies**   | quick setup and simple proxy management        |
| **3rd-party proxies** | advanced configurations and larger proxy pools |

Both proxy types work with Gologin browser profiles, and users can combine them depending on their workflow.
