MarsProxies and ixBrowser: Integration Tutorial
If you’ve been keeping up with our blog, you’re already familiar with anti-detect browsers. Solutions like ixBrowser enable you to take full control of the information websites gather about you. Your IP address, location, software, hardware - all this information (and more) is available to any web server you communicate with.Anti-detect browsers enable you to modify your browser fingerprint and change all this information. As a result, you can create unique browser profiles and switch between them on a single device. This approach enables the user to manage multiple profiles on the same website or platform without being detected.
In this article, we’ll go over ixBrowser’s features and provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to set it up with MarsProxies.

How to Use MarsProxies With ixBrowser
To get started, download the latest version of ixBrowser from the website. Launch it and sign up. Once you log in, you’ll be greeted with an introduction video. If this is your first time using an anti-detect browser, we strongly recommend you give it a watch. You can also head over to their Tutorial page for more useful content.
Once the video ends, click the Create Profile (1) button to create your profile.
ixBrowser will warn you that you didn’t set up any proxies. You have three options here:
In the Create Profile section, click on the Proxy Configuration tab (3). For Proxy Method, select Custom (4).
Now it’s time to open your MarsProxies dashboard and get your proxy credentials. We’ll use our Ultra Residential proxies from Vancouver, Canada (5), with sticky sessions (6), SOCKS5 protocol (7), and session duration of 6 hours (8).
Once you configure your settings, get your credentials from the list (9). Each line here contains your hostname, port, username, and password.
Now it’s time to transfer this information into ixBrowser. Choose SOCKS5 as the Proxy Type (10). Copy an entire line from the MarsProxies dashboard. Paste it in the Proxy Host field (11) and ixBrowser will fill all the necessary fields automatically. If other aspects of your profile are set up, click the Create (12) button.
From the main menu, click the Open (13) button.
This will launch a browser window with your fingerprint settings and more information about your proxy.
Alternatively, you can visit a website like IPHey to confirm everything works correctly.
