BrowserAct supports three proxy options for cloud Bots.
Proxy option | How it works | Best for |
Dynamic Proxy | Uses the BrowserAct residential proxy network and can rotate the IP between runs. | Public web extraction, monitoring, and region-specific results |
Static Proxy | Assigns a purchased fixed IP to the Bot. | Account-based tasks, stable sessions, and fixed-IP workflows |
Custom Proxy | Connects a proxy supplied by your own provider. | Existing proxy infrastructure or provider-specific requirements |
Open Proxy Settings
Open Bots, select a Bot, and then select Browser settings. Under Browser Proxy, choose BrowserAct Proxy or Custom Proxy.
When using BrowserAct Proxy, select either Dynamic Proxy or Static Proxy.
Choose a Proxy
Use Static Proxy when the Bot needs to keep a stable IP.
Use Dynamic Proxy when IP rotation and regional access matter more than a fixed identity.
Use Custom Proxy when you want to connect a proxy from your own provider.
