You can use this feature to manage multiple social media accounts from a single browser window, or to manage accounts for clients in other countries without having to constantly authenticate your sessions.<\/p>\n<p>But first, let\u2019s look at what Ghost Browser\u2019s platform really is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An Identity Manager<\/strong>. Ghost Browser lets you isolate and manage di\ufb00erent online identities at the IP level.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Proxy Manager<\/strong>. Using this tool, you can assign di\ufb00erent proxies to individual tabs or Proxy Network Status Online \u2013 Uptime Status 99.6% (\/proxy-network-status) group of tabs in a flexible, intuitive way.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chrome Extension-Compatible<\/strong>. Built on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/202825\/what%E2%80%99s-the-di\ufb00erence-between-chromium-and-chrome\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chromium<\/a><\/strong>, Ghost Browser o\ufb00ers full compatibility with your existing set of Chrome extensions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Productivity Tool<\/strong>. Ghost Browser lets you save tabs into groups and call up specific groups so that you don\u2019t su\ufb00er from a bloated interface full of unneeded browser tabs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ghost Browser works on Windows and OS X, with Linux support on the way. It does not track browsing history or transmit sensitive data to Ghost Browser\u2019s servers. The only time the developers will ask for browsing information is if you report a bug \u2013 which you can opt-out of if you choose.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"preparing-ghost-browser-for-multiple-proxy-instances\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_Ghost_Browser_for_Multiple_Proxy_Instances\"><\/span>Preparing Ghost Browser for Multiple Proxy Instances<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On its own, Ghost Browser o\ufb00ers a best-in-class identity management toolset for privacy-minded users and developers who need to test their products and solutions. However, to fully enjoy the power and flexibility of the platform, you have to combine it with a special tool called <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ghostbrowser.com\/store\/ghost-proxy-control\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ghost Proxy Control<\/a><\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p>The same developers behind Ghost Browser made Ghost Proxy Control, so you don\u2019t have to worry about <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/proxy-compatibility\/\">compatibility issues<\/a>, di\ufb00erent user agreements, or unsafe data practices. It adheres to the same high standards of privacy that Ghost Browser does.<\/p>\n<p>Ghost Proxy Control is a toolset that does exactly what its name suggests \u2013 gives you an interface for controlling proxies in Ghost Browser. This will the tool we use to <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/set-up-proxies\/\">set up proxies<\/a> for multiple tabs in a simple, user-friendly way.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"what-ghost-proxy-control-can-do\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Ghost_Proxy_Control_Can_Do\"><\/span>What Ghost Proxy Control Can Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-DCUsorhF3w\" data-id=\"-DCUsorhF3w\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\" data-cf-modified-65f6144290ce6636003723d1->\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20480%20360%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/-DCUsorhF3w\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"play\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1050\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-DCUsorhF3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Ghost Proxy Control creates an extension icon on Ghost Browser that gives users complete control over their proxies. You can use it to override connection settings for each tab, and have it assign your proxies to new tabs as you open them.<\/p>\n<p>You can use Ghost Proxy Control as a rotating IP changer, random IP assigner, and global IP interface that allows you to e\ufb03ciently manage proxies in Ghost Browser. You can also set this extension to automatically test proxies before you use them so that you can disable bad proxies before exposing them to your target sites.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of the capabilities Ghost Proxy Control includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/rotating-proxies-api-with-curl\/\">Automatically rotating proxies<\/a> every time you open up a new session or Ghost Browser tab.<\/li>\n<li>Overriding global connection settings for specific tabs, sessions, or Tasks.<\/li>\n<li>Importing proxies en masse.<\/li>\n<li>Assigning random proxies from your list to new sessions with a single click.<\/li>\n<li>Saving proxy assignments in Task-specific order so that future sessions open them up automatically.<\/li>\n<li>Clearing proxies from open tabs and returning to direct connection with one click.<\/li>\n<li>Assigning specific proxies to specific Tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To understand how powerful this feature set is, we have to cover what Ghost Browser\u2019s developers mean by \u201cTasks\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Tabs refer to the individual pages opened up in your Ghost Browser window. Sessions refer to each color-coded browser instance. Tasks are unique to Ghost Browser. Setting up an individual Task in Ghost Browser lets you save the authentication state of a particular set of websites and manage that identity through the browser\u2019s Ghost Menu.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a social media manager may assign a Task to each client so that he or she can quickly move between individual client accounts on their respective social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The owner of an international website may use Tasks to represent the various countries the website is present in.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, Ghost Proxy Control gives you the ability to assign Task-specific proxies with nearly unlimited flexibility.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"using-ghost-proxy-control-to-set-up-multiple-proxies-on-ghost-browser\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Ghost_Proxy_Control_to_Set_Up_Multiple_Proxies_on_Ghost_Browser\"><\/span>Using Ghost Proxy Control to Set Up Multiple Proxies on Ghost Browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that both Ghost Browser and Ghost Proxy Control are interfaces for using proxies. Neither one gives you access to proxies on their own \u2013 you have to get your own proxies and import them into the Ghost Browser session using Ghost Proxy Control.<\/p>\n<p>The process of importing and setting up proxies for multiple tabs on Ghost Browser is simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, click on the Ghost Proxy Control extension icon on Ghost Browser. It should be located just to the right of the search bar.<\/li>\n<li>A small pop-up window will show you what proxy the current tab is connected through. If\u00a0it will say, \u201cThe active tab is currently connected through (empty)\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Click on the button labeled <strong>Add\/Edit Proxies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>A window will open up. Click on <strong>Add a Proxy<\/strong> or <strong>Bulk Upload Proxies<\/strong> to begin importing proxies for use with Ghost Browser.<\/li>\n<li>Name your proxies so that you can e\ufb00ectively keep track of them.<\/li>\n<li>Click once more on the Ghost Proxy Control extension icon and select the proxy you wish to override for the active tab, session, or project.<\/li>\n<li>Once you assign the proxy, it will remain attached to that specific tab, session, or project until you clear it.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to rotate between multiple proxies for each session, click on the checkbox just above the connection override menu so that every time you open a new session, Ghost Browser automatically assigns the next proxy in your list to that session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that\u2019s it!
