BitBrowser and SocksNode Proxies: A Step-by-Step Setup Guide

An antidetect browser handles the fingerprint, a proxy handles the IP. What BitBrowser does, which SocksNode IP type to pick, and how to wire a proxy into each profile.

A BitBrowser profile paired with a SocksNode residential IP

Short answer: BitBrowser is an antidetect browser — every profile runs with its own browser fingerprint, fully separated from the others. But the fingerprint is only half the job; the other half is the IP address. Pair each BitBrowser profile with its own IP from SocksNode and every account looks like a different person in a different house. This guide covers both halves: what BitBrowser does, which IP type to pick, and how to wire a proxy into each profile.

Why changing your IP is not enough

A website recognises you by far more than an IP address. Browser version, screen resolution, font list, time zone, language, the way your graphics card draws a test image (canvas, WebGL) — together they form a fairly stable fingerprint. Open ten accounts on one machine and, even with a different IP each time, all ten carry exactly the same fingerprint. They stay linked.

The reverse is just as true: ten perfect antidetect profiles that all exit through one IP address are still ten accounts sitting on one connection.

So the practical rule is simple: one account = one browser profile + one IP address. BitBrowser handles the browser half, the proxy handles the network half.

What BitBrowser does

BitBrowser is an antidetect browser with a Vietnamese interface and a free tier of 10 profiles. The parts worth knowing:

  • Isolated profiles. Each window has its own fingerprint, cookies and storage, with no leakage between them.
  • Per-profile proxy settings. Static and rotating proxies are both supported, configured inside each window.
  • Chrome and Firefox kernels. Both can be customised in depth and switched inside the app — useful when a platform scrutinises one engine more closely.
  • One-click Sync. Drive many windows at once: what you do in the main window is repeated in the rest.
  • RPA automation. Attach an automation script when you create a window and let it handle the repetitive work.
  • Local API. A built-in local API service lets your own tooling open windows and run scripts.
  • Script marketplace. A library of ready-made scripts that users and developers can publish to.
  • Free batch operations. Create and upload windows in bulk from a template file, import/export cookies for many windows at once, and apply proxies and fingerprints to a whole batch in one go.
  • Team work. Sub-accounts, window assignment per employee and batch remote control.
  • Cloud Phone. Beyond the browser, BitBrowser also offers cloud phones running Android/iOS environments, for accounts that need an isolated mobile environment.

Which IP type to put behind a profile

Three options at SocksNode. They differ more in how you pay than in IP quality:

Type How long one IP holds Pricing Best for
Residential by the GB (sticky) Up to 24 hours, subject to network availability By traffic, from $0.90/GB down to $0.53/GB, balance never expires Accounts used unevenly, across many locations
24-hour residential IP A fixed 24 hours $0.09 per IP One IP per account, a fixed, easy-to-plan cost
Mobile proxies Sticky up to 2 hours, rotates automatically or on demand Per port from $1/day, or per GB from $3.90/GB Mobile-first platforms and your most sensitive accounts

For anyone running several ad or social accounts, the 24-hour IP is usually the easiest to budget: ten accounts is $0.90 a day, with no guessing how many gigabytes the month will take. An IP that does not work in its first ten minutes is refunded automatically. If the accounts run for months and move real traffic, the per-GB plans work out cheaper — see pricing.

Wiring a SocksNode proxy into BitBrowser

Step 1 — Get your connection details. Sign in to the SocksNode dashboard, open the residential proxy section and take your username and password. The generator builds the username string for you; there is no need to type it by hand.

Step 2 — The values you need.

  • Host: global.socksnode.com
  • Sticky ports (hold one IP): 10000 for HTTP, 12000 for SOCKS5
  • Rotating ports (new IP per connection): 9000 for HTTP, 11000 for SOCKS5
  • Username: USERNAME-country-us-city-losangeles-session-a8bd381f-lifetime-1440
  • Password: from the dashboard

In that string -country-us sets the country, -city-losangeles the city, -session-a8bd381f is the session label and -lifetime-1440 is how many minutes to hold the IP (1440 maximum, i.e. 24 hours). Note that the session part only works on the sticky ports — add it to a rotating port and the IP still changes.

Step 3 — Enter it in BitBrowser. Create a new window, open its proxy settings, pick the proxy type (SOCKS5 or HTTP) and fill in the host, port, username and password above. Use the proxy check button to confirm the IP and location that come back, then save and open the window.

Step 4 — A different session label per profile. This is the step people skip. Two profiles sharing one username string exit through the same IP. Give each profile its own -session- label — -session-acc01, -session-acc02 — and each profile keeps its own address.

If you buy 24-hour residential IPs instead, it is simpler: each IP is already its own host and port, so you just paste it into the profile, with no session label.

Check before you log in

Open the window you just created and check three things before touching a real account:

  1. IP and location — the right country and city you asked for.
  2. Time zone and language — do they match the IP's location? An IP in Los Angeles on a machine reporting Vietnam time is an obvious contradiction.
  3. WebRTC and DNS leaks. With SOCKS5, let the tool resolve domain names through the proxy (socks5h) rather than on your own machine.

Our setup guide walks through each screen.

A few rules that keep accounts alive

  • One account, one IP, one profile. Do not rotate IPs between accounts.
  • Do not change IP mid-session. Jumping to another country while logged in is the clearest bad signal there is.
  • Keep the same city per account, not just the same country.
  • Warm new accounts up slowly. Log in, look around, leave. Nothing bulk in the first few days.
  • Cookies belong to the profile. Back up each window's cookies — BitBrowser exports and imports them in bulk for free.

In short

An antidetect browser and a proxy are two halves of the same job. BitBrowser takes care of the browser fingerprint and of running dozens of windows at once; SocksNode takes care of the network layer, with residential IPs in 200+ countries, city-level targeting and sessions held for up to 24 hours — or single IPs by the day at $0.09 if you want one fixed address per account.

No proxy account yet? Start from pricing — the smallest order is 5 GB and bandwidth never expires.
