Ghost Browser Proxy Setup: Step by Step

Ghost Browser is a Chromium-based browser that runs several separate sessions, called identities, side by side in one window. Each identity keeps its own cookies and storage, so you can be signed in to the same site with different accounts in neighboring tabs. Permanent identities are global: their tabs share one cookie jar in whichever workspace you open them. Workspaces save sets of tabs and identities so you can reopen a project as you left it.

A proxy gives an identity its own IP address and location. Without one, every identity shares your own IP, which is often the thing that ties accounts together. Ghost Browser isolates sessions; it does not change the browser fingerprint the way an antidetect browser does.

1. Open Ghost Proxy Control from the extension tray and choose Add/Edit Proxies.

2. Choose Add a Single Proxy. Enter host gate.proxyfield.io, port 7000, your username, such as <login>-country-us-city-new_york, your password and a Custom Name such as "New York", then click Add Proxy. Click Test next to it: a working proxy passes.

3. Click the Identities icon in the extension tray and create a permanent identity, or pick one you have.
4. Click Set Proxy under that identity and choose "New York" in the drop-down. The proxy is now assigned to the identity.

5. Open a tab in that identity and load https://api.ipify.org: it shows the proxy's IP. https://ipinfo.io/json shows its country and city.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each identity with another location's username. Country keys outside the US: the two-letter country code in lowercase, as in -country-de. To change an identity's proxy later, click the proxy name under the identity and pick another.

Which proxy wins. Ghost's rule: a tab's proxy beats a temporary identity's, which beats the workspace's, and Override connection for beats Auto-Assign Proxies. For accounts, give each permanent identity its own proxy and leave the workspace without one.

For accounts you sign in to, give each identity a sticky session so the IP doesn't change while you work: the gateway holds one IP from 30 s to 36 h, 20 minutes when you set a session without a time. An IP idle for 120 s gets a new IP, and if its exit node drops, the IP may change. For the same IP over days or weeks, use a dedicated ISP proxy. Region, session and session time go in the same username: -region-<region>, -session-<id> and -ttl-<seconds> (30 to 129,600 seconds); every part after the login is optional. Residential is the default; add -mobile after the login for mobile IPs: <login>-mobile-country-us.

Each identity gets its own location and its own sticky session, here 1 hour (ttl-3600):

The same three as host:port:username:password lines, for your own list or the configurator:

gate.proxyfield.io:7000:<login>-country-us-city-new_york-session-id1-ttl-3600:<password>
gate.proxyfield.io:7000:<login>-country-de-city-<city>-session-id2-ttl-3600:<password>
gate.proxyfield.io:7000:<login>-country-gb-city-<city>-session-id3-ttl-3600:<password>

Use a different session id per identity, so no two identities share an IP. All lines share one ProxyField balance and unlimited concurrent threads; you pay only for the gigabytes used.

Ghost Proxy Control imports a CSV file: in Add/Edit Proxies, choose Add Bulk Proxies, use Export Proxy List to get the file in Ghost's format, fill in one row per proxy from the lines above, keeping the file as Ghost exports it, and load it with Import Proxy List.

To hand out proxies without assigning each one, turn on Auto-Assign Proxies and choose Assign Each tab or temporary identity: Ghost can pick a random proxy, a random one never used twice, or the next proxy in your list. For accounts, assign by hand with Set Proxy, so each identity always keeps its own location.

1. Click Test next to each proxy in Add/Edit Proxies; fix or remove any that fail.
2. In each identity, open https://api.ipify.org; every identity with its own proxy shows a different IP.
3. Open https://ipinfo.io/json to confirm the country and city match the username.
4. To test proxy lines before you import them, use the proxy checker: up to 100 proxies per check, and your list and results are not stored.

Gateway error messages: 407 Proxy Authentication Required for a wrong login or password, an IP not on the allowlist or a malformed location, 402 Payment Required when no traffic is left and 502 Bad Gateway when no exit could be connected; a restricted site gets no separate response, and a 403 comes from the site itself. Codes are in proxy errors. Our 24/7 live chat helps with setup and integration.

Residential IPs: 412M+ in 195+ countries, with country, region (state) and city targeting at the same price per GB. Managing your own or your clients' social media and marketplace accounts is allowed, one sticky or ISP IP per account. Creating fake accounts or fake engagement is not; see our acceptable use policy.
