Residential Proxy Setup in VMMask

What Proxy Setup in VMMask Provides

VMMask is designed for separate work with multiple accounts and profiles. Within the program, you can specify separate settings for each profile, including network settings. As a result, profiles do not have to be launched in the same configuration, and switching between them becomes faster and more convenient.

Connecting a proxy in VMMask is primarily needed so that each profile operates through its own IP address. This is especially important in cases where it is necessary to separate sessions, use different profiles within the same service, or build a separate working environment for different tasks.

Another advantage of VMMask is that the program allows you to prepare several profiles with different settings in advance and then launch them as needed.

If the proxy works with authentication, also enter the username and password. Click Test Connection to make sure the proxy connects correctly.

If the data is entered correctly and the connection is established, the system will display a notification that the check was successful.

4. Save the profile

After checking, save the settings. Depending on the scenario, you can choose Save or Save And Open. In the second case, the profile will immediately open in the browser with the settings already applied.

5. Launch the profile

After saving, the new profile will appear in the general list. To start working, all that remains is to click the launch button or the start icon for the required profile.

For the profile to work stably, the proxy settings must be entered without errors: protocol, address, port, and authentication data, if required.

Conclusion

Setting up a proxy in VMMask comes down to creating a profile, adding the proxy server settings, and checking the connection before launch. This approach makes it possible to prepare separate working profiles with different network settings and quickly launch them from the general list. If all parameters are specified correctly, the profile will be ready to use immediately after saving.
