Managing multiple accounts or isolating your browsing environments is much easier when each session has its own dedicated proxy. In this tutorial, you’ll learn exactly how to create a proxy, assign it to any Sendwin session, and verify that it’s working—all in a few minutes.
If you’re new to Sendwin, you can even test this setup during the 7-day trial for just 1 euro.
Quick Start (TL;DR)
- Browser → Proxies → New Proxy
- Add Name, Host/IP, Port, HTTP, Username, Password → Save
- New Session → enter URL and Session Name → Server: Default → Proxy: choose the one you created → Create
- Open the session and refresh to confirm the proxy is active
- Repeat with another proxy to run multiple sessions, each with a different IP
What You’ll Need
- An active Sendwin account (trial works)
- A proxy from your provider (Host/IP, Port, Username, Password)
- The target website/URL you’ll use to test
Step 1: Add a Proxy in Sendwin
- Log in to Sendwin and open Browser.
- Go to Proxies → New Proxy.
- Enter:
- Name: e.g., Proxy 5 or Proxy 6
- Host/IP and Port (from your provider)
- Protocol: select HTTP
- Username and Password
- Click Add/Save. You should now see your proxy (e.g., Proxy 5, Proxy 6) listed.
Why this matters: Adding proxies to Sendwin once lets you quickly assign them to any session—no repetitive setup.
Step 2: Assign a Proxy When Creating a Session
- In Browser, click New Session (or Create).
- Fill in:
- URL/Domain you want to test
- Session Name: e.g., Proxy test, Proxy test 2
- Server: keep Default (as shown in the tutorial)
- Proxy: choose the proxy you added (e.g., Proxy 5 or Proxy 6)
- Click Create. The session opens with the selected proxy.
Tip: Create multiple sessions and assign different proxies to each to keep account environments isolated.
Step 3: Verify the Proxy Is Applied
- With the session open, load your test URL.
- Refresh the page once or twice.
- (Optional) Open a simple IP checker page in that tab to confirm the public IP matches your proxy.
What to look for: Different sessions using different proxies should show different IPs.
Alternative: Change/Assign Proxy from the Sessions List
- Go to Sessions.
- Open a session’s settings/edit.
- Choose a Proxy from the dropdown (e.g., switch from Proxy 5 → Proxy 6).
- Click Save, then reopen/refresh the session to confirm.
Use case: Handy for quickly flipping a session to a fresh proxy without recreating it.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
- Name proxies clearly: US-NY-Residential-Proxy5 is more useful than Proxy 5.
- One proxy per session: Prevents cross-contamination between accounts.
- Refresh after changes: If a proxy doesn’t seem to apply, reselect it, Save, and refresh.
- Keep credentials tidy: Typos in host/port/username/password are the #1 cause of failures.
- Rotate as needed: Add multiple proxies and switch per session/tab for testing or scaling workflows.
Troubleshooting
- “Proxy is added but not working”
- Re-check Host/IP, Port, Protocol (HTTP), Username/Password.
- Reopen the session and refresh.
- “Same IP across sessions”
- Confirm each session is assigned a different proxy.
- Verify on an IP checker page in each session.
- “Authentication errors”
- Ensure the credentials are correct and your provider has active service for that IP/port.
FAQs
Q: Can I run multiple sessions with different proxies at the same time?
A: Yes. Create separate sessions and assign a unique proxy to each. Each tab can run on its own IP.
Q: Which protocol should I choose?
A: Select HTTP as shown in the tutorial. If your provider supports other types (e.g., SOCKS5) and your plan supports it, follow your provider’s instructions.
Q: Do I need to recreate a session to change the proxy?
A: No. You can switch proxies from the Sessions list: edit the session, choose a new proxy, Save, and refresh.
