Dolphin Anty Mobile Proxy Setup Guide
Dolphin Anty is an anti-detect browser aimed at teams that run large numbers of profiles for advertising, e-commerce and account management. It keeps a shared proxy list, lets you tag and colour-code profiles, and gives every team member the same view of who is using what. Those organisational features are exactly what makes it a good match for dedicated mobile proxies. With ProxyMobile you get one modem and one SIM per proxy, so the mapping from a Dolphin Anty profile to a carrier address is one-to-one and easy to reason about. Below is the practical setup, from the first paste to a tidy multi-city team workspace.
How Dolphin Anty stores and assigns proxies
Dolphin Anty separates proxies from profiles. You can add a proxy once to the proxy list, giving it a type, host, port, username and password, and then attach it to any profile you like. The profile editor also accepts proxy details directly if you prefer to enter them inline. Either way a check action verifies the proxy and reports the exit IP and its country, and the profile can be told to take its timezone and geolocation from that IP.
This separation is convenient for mobile proxies because the host and credentials rarely change while the IP behind them does. You can rotate a ProxyMobile proxy as often as you like without touching the saved entry in Dolphin Anty.
Copying details from ProxyMobile
Sign in to the ProxyMobile dashboard and open the proxy you want to use. Each proxy displays its host, an HTTP port, a SOCKS5 port, a username, a password and a rotation link. Note down the host, the port for the protocol you intend to use, and both credentials. The rotation link stays in the dashboard or in your automation; it is not something Dolphin Anty needs.
Pick HTTP unless you have a reason to do otherwise. It is the simplest option and covers ordinary browsing completely. SOCKS5 is the right choice for profiles that carry UDP traffic or where you want name resolution handled on the proxy rather than your local machine.
Step-by-step configuration
Add the proxy first, then attach it to profiles.
- Open the proxy list in Dolphin Anty and add a new entry with the type, host, port, username and password from ProxyMobile.
- Run the check on the new entry and confirm a United States IP from AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon.
- Give the entry a descriptive name that includes the metro, for example the city and carrier, so teammates can pick the right one.
- Open or create a profile, choose that proxy from the list, and keep timezone and geolocation set to follow the proxy IP.
- Turn on WebRTC masking in the profile so the browser reports the proxy address.
- Save and launch the profile, then load a location test page to confirm the city matches.
Choosing sticky versus rotating
Dolphin Anty profiles are normally long-lived identities, and a long-lived identity wants a stable network address while it is active. ProxyMobile proxies keep their IP until you request otherwise, so the default behaviour is already sticky. Leave it that way during a session.
Between sessions, rotation is free and unlimited on every plan. Rotate before handing a profile to a colleague, after a long idle period, or whenever you simply want a fresh carrier address. Since the modem is dedicated to you, rotation never competes with other customers, and you can be confident the new address has not been used by anyone but you. For non-login research tasks, per-request rotation is available too, but for Dolphin Anty profiles we suggest rotating only while the profile is closed.
Running a team workspace across cities
One proxy per profile keeps everything auditable. If a profile needs attention you know exactly which modem it sits on, and rotating or moving that proxy affects nothing else. Use Dolphin Anty tags and statuses to mark the metro and carrier of each profile, and name the proxy entries the same way so the two views stay in sync.
ProxyMobile runs its own modems in eight US metros, all with 4G and most with 5G, with Boston on 4G LTE only. Match the metro to the account's declared location and keep profiles for the same client in the same city where practical. If the plan changes and a profile needs to appear elsewhere, location moves are free — just ask and we will move the modem.
Teams with many profiles usually script the boring parts. Dolphin Anty has an API for creating profiles and assigning proxies, and ProxyMobile has an API for reading proxy details and triggering rotations. Pairing the two means a new profile can be created with a checked proxy attached and its IP rotated between shifts without anyone opening a dashboard.
When something goes wrong
Check these before rebuilding a profile.
- Proxy check fails: the port does not match the chosen type, or the credentials include an extra space. Re-copy from the ProxyMobile dashboard.
- City on a test page differs from the proxy city: a manual timezone or coordinate override is active in the profile. Switch back to IP-based values.
- Leaked local IP on a WebRTC test: enable masking in the profile settings; this is a browser-side option.
- Session dropped mid-task: a rotation was triggered while the profile was open. Move rotations to a between-sessions step.
- Speed dip: our 4G typically delivers 20–45 Mbps and 5G 50+ Mbps, so a slow stretch is usually a busy tower. Rotating often lands on a different cell.
Why ProxyMobile carrier addresses
A convincing browser profile needs a network route to match, and nothing matches a phone better than an address issued by AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon to a real SIM card. ProxyMobile puts that SIM in a modem we own and reserves it for you alone. Every proxy offers HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 with UDP, sticky or per-request rotation, a rotation link and an API, with 15 GB of data per day included. Plans are daily, weekly or monthly from $5 per day.
Frequently asked
Can I share one ProxyMobile proxy across my whole Dolphin Anty team?
The proxy accepts multiple connections, so several teammates can use profiles attached to it. All of them will share one address and one 15 GB daily allowance, so for unrelated accounts we recommend a dedicated proxy per profile.
Which port goes with which type?
The HTTP port is for the HTTP type and the SOCKS5 port is for the SOCKS5 type. They are different numbers on the same host. Mixing them is the single most common cause of a failed check.
Does rotating the IP require editing the profile?
No. Rotation happens on our side through the rotation link or the API, and the host, port and credentials in Dolphin Anty stay the same. Close the profile, rotate, and reopen it to use the new address.
How do I know the proxy is 5G rather than 4G?
The ProxyMobile dashboard shows the technology and signal for each proxy. Our 4G typically delivers 20–45 Mbps and 5G 50+ Mbps; Boston is 4G LTE only, while the other metros offer both.
What is included with a ProxyMobile plan?
A dedicated modem and SIM, HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 with UDP, unlimited rotations, a per-proxy rotation link, API access and 15 GB of data per day. Plans run daily, weekly or monthly from $5 per day, and location moves are free on request.
