Anyone making money in the online (MMO) field is surely using not only one but even thousands of proxies for their tasks with different types of ones.
Thus, proxy obviously is one of the most essential and indispensable elements.
And you know what? They not only use proxy to change IP but install antidetect browser software to change their real browser fingerprint also. Hidemyacc is one of those antidetect browsers. Like other ones, it has a feature to add a proxy, which is more convenient for users to do their tasks.
But not everyone knows how to add a proxy to each profile to use in Hidemyacc. So if you’re one of those or a newbie just moving into this MMO field and have no idea what proxy is, don’t worry, all of the aspects will be unfolded below. Let’s warm up with knowledge about proxy!
1. What is proxy?
If you’re non-IT, then the definition of proxy is a little bit difficult for you to understand. To make it easier, imagine a proxy is the middleman between you and the Internet. If you want to send a web request and communicate with websites through the Internet without letting them know who you are, then proxy will help you.
After setting up and configuring the proxy, if you send a web request to any websites, this request will go to the proxy first, then the proxy will transfer it to the targeted website. Then, it collects the response from the web and sends it back to you. So, the website just knows the proxy’s IP as a sender and doesn’t know exactly your real IP.
Thus, you will be anonymous on the Internet, which protects your personal data from leaking. For more detailed information about proxies, please refer to this article: Proxy Server: What is it and how does it work?

2. What is a proxy used for in making money online?
If you already understood how the proxy works, you will absolutely agree that it has several different benefits, right?
People use proxy for different purposes. In the making money online (MMO) field, most of them use proxy to farm accounts so that the IPs of these accounts will not be duplicated. Thus, the website will not easily detect that you’re logging into multiple accounts on the same device.
For example, if you’re a digital marketer running a Facebook ads campaign using several accounts and those all have the same IP, therefore, the risk of getting all your accounts locked is much higher than using each unique IP for each profile. This way will be safer.
3. Why should I use a proxy with an antidetect browser?
Actually, there are some other ways to help you change IP including VPN, SSH, or Dcom. But you know, using these ways will make the process to set up more complicated and slower because of its separation from antidetect browser.
