Learn how to integrate Smartproxy with AdsPower: create isolated profiles, configure proxies, verify connections, and run multi-account workflows safely.
How to Use AdsPower with Smartproxy
Combining an anti-detect browser with a proxy service is a common way to manage multiple online accounts without triggering platform bans. AdsPower creates isolated browser profiles with unique fingerprints, while Smartproxy provides residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter IPs to mask your real location. Together, they let you run hundreds of accounts from one computer while each profile appears as a distinct user on a different network.
This guide walks through the setup, verification, and practical workflows so you can get the most out of both tools.
Why pair AdsPower with Smartproxy?

AdsPower alone isolates cookies, fingerprints, and storage, but without a proxy, all profiles share your real IP address. Platforms can link accounts by IP even if fingerprints differ. Smartproxy supplies a large pool of IPs (125M+ residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter) with 99.99% uptime, so each AdsPower profile can use a dedicated or rotating IP.
Key benefits:
- IP isolation: Assign a unique proxy to each profile to prevent cross-account linking.
- Geo-targeting: Choose IPs from specific countries or cities to match account registration details.
- Scalability: Smartproxy’s pool supports hundreds of profiles without IP conflicts.
- Fingerprint consistency: AdsPower’s SunBrowser and FlowerBrowser (Chrome 155/156 engine) pair with proxy settings to present a coherent browser identity.
Prerequisites
Before you start, ensure you have:
- An AdsPower account (free plan includes 2 profiles; paid plans offer more).
- A Smartproxy subscription with proxy credentials (host, port, username, password).
- AdsPower app installed on your computer.
Step-by-step setup

1. Create a new browser profile
Open AdsPower and click New profile. Enter a name that helps you identify the account (e.g., “Shopify Store US”). Choose the desired user agent and device type.
2. Configure the proxy
In the profile setup page, find the Proxy section. Select HTTP as the proxy type (Smartproxy supports HTTP/HTTPS). Fill in:
- Proxy Host: provided by Smartproxy (e.g.,
gate.smartproxy.com). - Proxy Port: e.g.,
7000. - Proxy User and Proxy Password: your Smartproxy credentials.
If you are in mainland China, use the special China gateway host and port as instructed by Smartproxy.
Tip: Click Check Proxy next to the host field to test the connection before saving.
3. Set account platform and advanced fingerprints
Optionally, select the Account Platform (e.g., Facebook, Amazon) and enter login credentials. AdsPower will auto-fill them when you open the profile. In the Advanced section, you can customize fingerprint settings like Canvas, WebGL, and timezone to match the proxy’s location.
4. Save and launch
Click OK to save the profile. From the Profiles tab, click Open to launch the browser. The first tab will display your proxy IP and connection status. Verify that the IP matches the expected country and that no leaks occur.
Practical examples

Example 1: E-commerce seller managing multiple stores
An Amazon seller runs three stores in the US, UK, and Germany. Each store gets a separate AdsPower profile with a Smartproxy residential IP from the respective country. Fingerprints (language, timezone, WebGL) are set to match. The seller can switch between stores without logging out or risking association.
Example 2: Social media marketing agency
An agency manages 50 client Instagram accounts. They use AdsPower’s team collaboration features to share profiles with team members, each profile bound to a dedicated Smartproxy ISP proxy for stability. Automation via AdsPower’s RPA robots handles routine posting, while proxies ensure each account appears on a different network.
Example 3: Web data collection
A data analyst uses AdsPower profiles with Smartproxy rotating residential proxies to scrape public data from multiple regions. AdsPower’s local API (up to 1500 requests/min) allows programmatic control, while Smartproxy’s Web Data API can complement large-scale collection.
Common problems and solutions
- Proxy check fails: Double-check host, port, username, and password. Ensure your Smartproxy plan supports the proxy type (HTTP/HTTPS).
- Sites blocked by Smartproxy: Some sites are restricted by Smartproxy’s network. Contact Smartproxy support to request unblocking for specific domains.
- IP leaks: Use AdsPower’s built-in leak test or visit a IP checking site within the profile. Ensure WebRTC is disabled or set to proxy.
- Slow connections: Choose proxies closer to your target region or upgrade to ISP proxies for better speed.
AdsPower and Smartproxy vs. alternatives
