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.

What is MarsProxies

Ultra Residential proxies is the provider’s most popular product that offers over 1 million ethically sourced IPs in 195 countries, with precise geo-targeting (country, state, and city level), traffic that never expires, and fantastic bulk discounts.

In addition to Ultra Residential proxies, MarsProxies offers Datacenter, ISP, and Sneaker proxies, each with wide location coverage, daily options, and highly customizable plans (starting at just one proxy per order). Regardless of the options, users can expect excellent speeds, HTTPs + SOCKS5 support, and unlimited bandwidth.

MarsProxies caters to a wide range of tasks, making it suitable for businesses and individuals alike. Businesses can leverage their residential proxy pool for efficient and reliable web scraping, SEO research, social media management, and automation. On the other hand, individuals can benefit from high-speed Datacenter, ISP, and Sneaker proxies for content streaming, gaming, online shopping, and more.

If you prefer to use your own proxies, there’s nothing standing in your way. With MarsProxies, you can get:
 
  • 1M+ residential proxies worldwide (190+ countries)
  • Country, state, and city-level targeting at no extra cost
  • Never-expiring residential traffic

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

 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:
  • Purchased ProxyDynamic IP (rotating residential proxies)
  • Purchased PrxyStatic IP (static residential/ISP and datacenter proxies)
  • Continue to Create
Click on Continue to Create (2) and add our proxies manually.



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

One of your best proxy choice: Proxys.io

Websites constantly monitor user activity and ban users for violating the rules. To bypass geographical restrictions and simultaneously work with several accounts, various anonymization tools are used, the main ones of which are anti-detect browsers and proxies. They work differently, but they have a common task — masking your identity on the Internet. The anti-detect browser changes the digital fingerprint of the device, and the proxy changes the IP address. To achieve maximum confidentiality and reduce the risk of being banned for multiple accounts to zero, it is better to use an anti-detect browser and a proxy together. That is, always additionally connect a proxy.

How to use ixBrowser to make account transactions safer

We all know that most websites and platforms on the market do not allow users to hold multiple accounts, but this is obviously against the user's wishes.

For e-commerce sellers, multiple accounts mean they can list more different products, attract more users and earn more profits. For social media marketers, multiple accounts mean higher user reach, views and fans.

However, registering multiple accounts is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Therefore, many people turn their attention to account trading.

Take Facebook as an example. As long as we enter "buy facebook" in Google search, we can find the word "buy Facebook account" in the list of related long-tail words below. And in the search results, we can find a large number of websites selling different types of Facebook accounts.

When users purchase and receive accounts, they will find that the survival rate of these accounts may not be as high as imagined. Why did it happen?



In addition to the low quality of accounts sold by sellers, there are also the following reasons that may lead to a lower account survival rate:

1.Account banned due to improper user operation;
2.Account ban due to changes in account environment;

Account banned due to improper user operation
There are actually many branches about this factor. Part of this may be because the user has performed illegal operations after obtaining the account, or has prematurely started commercial activities with the new account purchased, resulting in the account being banned. These subjective problems can actually be avoided as long as users pay a little attention.



Another part of the problem may be that the user did not assign the profiles with independent fingerprints and the proxies to the accounts after obtaining the accounts, which results in the system detecting associated risks with these accounts. For this situation, users can solve this problem by using anti-detect browser like ixBrowser, which can help users create unlimited profiles with independent fingerprints for the multiple accounts, and users can add proxies to different profiles as needed to achieve double isolation of fingerprints and proxies.



Account ban due to changes in account environment
Even if users avoid illegal operations and isolate their accounts, they will still find that some accounts are suspended. This is caused by changes in the account environment and the proxy used. How to further improve the account survival rate?

At this time, you need to use the profile transfer function in ixBrowser. ixBrowser allow user transfer their profile, and the proxy binds with the profile to another by using ixBrowser transfer code. In this way, sellers can register and maintain accounts through ixBrowser, and transfer the environment to users intact through the transfer function, ensuring the stability of the account environment to the greatest extent and reducing the risk of account suspension.

How to use ixBrowser to create a safer and more stable environment for Tinder?

Tinder is a popular online dating application that was initially launched in 2012. It utilizes geolocation features to help users find potential dates nearby. The core mechanism of Tinder is the "swipe" function, where users view other users' profiles, including photos and personal information, and then swipe right to indicate interest or left to pass. When two users mutually swipe right, a "match" is formed, and they can then start private conversations.



The user base of Tinder is diverse, encompassing people of various ages and backgrounds. Although initially perceived as a means for finding short-term relationships, many users have also found long-term partners through Tinder. Additionally, Tinder has introduced various paid features such as Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold, offering more advanced options like unlimited swipes, the ability to change location, and seeing who likes your profile.

Over time, Tinder has undergone several updates in its interface and functionality to enhance user experience and adapt to the evolving online dating market. Despite competition from other dating apps, Tinder remains one of the most popular and widely used dating applications globally.

However, as a popular dating platform, Tinder has a more stringent detection mechanism for account registration.

For an account, what kind of environment is considered independent, safe and stable? You might say an independent proxy, a profile with independent fingerprints, an independent registration information, and enough cookies record.

Indeed, in normal cases, as we mentioned in our previous blogs, the above conditions are sufficient to create a relatively safe and independent environment. Because for most websites or platforms, the core logic of their detection system revolves around these items which are exactly the aim that most anti-detect browser on the market can achieve.

However, during our daily communication with users, we learned that some websites have more stringent requirements for account environments, and Tinder is one of them.

In addition to the agents, fingerprints, registration information and cookies we mentioned above, Tinder will also detect IndexedDB and Local Storage.

What is IndexedDB and Local Storage?

IndexedDB: IndexedDB is a way for you to persistently store data inside a user's browser. Because it lets you create web applications with rich query abilities regardless of network availability, your applications can work both online and offline.

Local Storage: localStorage is a property that allows JavaScript sites and apps to save key-value pairs in a web browser with no expiration date. This means the data stored persists even after the user closes the browser or restarts the computer.



How does ixBrowser solve this problem?
In this case, ixBrowser launched sync IndexedDB and Local Storage function. When cloud backup is turned on, users can enable synchronization of IndexedDB and Local Storage under the preference settings page.

With the support of this feature, users can create a more secure and independent environment for their Tinder account, and no longer have to worry about account bans.
