Managing a fleet of proxies for web scraping, automation, or digital intelligence can be a hassle. That’s where tools like Ghost Proxy Console Extension and OkeyProxy come in. Ghost Proxy Console offers centralized Ghost proxy management, while OkeyProxy delivers fast, reliable residential and ISP proxies. When you integrate the two, you get a powerful setup that’s efficient, scalable, and easy to control!
What is Ghost Proxy Console?
Ghost Proxy Control (GPC) is a custom extension for Ghost Browser that lets you assign different proxies to each tab, Workspace or Identity, allowing you to simulate browsing from various locations such as different states in the US, the UK or Germany. This is especially useful for testing websites or managing multiple accounts.
GPC supports HTTP, HTTPS, IPv6 and SOCKS5 proxies, and recognizes SOCKS5 proxies when the address starts with “socks5://”. For the best results with IPv6, it’s recommended to use an IPv6 HTTP or HTTPS proxy that uses an IPv4 address for browser-to-proxy communication and an IPv6 address for proxy-to-site requests.
What is OkeyProxy?
OkeyProxy is a premium proxy provider offering residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies optimized for web scraping, social media management, SEO monitoring, and more. It provides robust API support, rotating proxy endpoints, and high uptime, supporting multiple proxy types such as HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5, and offering both IPv4 and IPv6 options to suit different technical needs—making it a great fit for professional proxy users.
Why Integrate Ghost Browser with OkeyProxy?
- Simplify proxy rotation and session management
- Boost reliability and scalability of scraping tools
- Integrate proxies seamlessly into automation platforms like Puppeteer, Selenium, or Playwright
Prerequisites
- Active OkeyProxy account with proxy credentials
- Installed and running Ghost Proxy Console Extension
- Basic understanding of HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies and networking tools
Step-by-Step Integration Guide
After getting Ghost Browser installed on your computer, let’s explore how to configure proxy settings inside Ghost Browser, allowing them to manage multiple accounts or sessions seamlessly using OkeyProxy’s residential or ISP proxies.
Step 1: Retrieve Proxy Credentials from OkeyProxy
Log into your OkeyProxy dashboard and navigate to your proxy list. Copy the proxy hostname, port, username, and password. Example format:
proxy.okeyproxy.com:10000 Username: user123 Password: pass123
Step 2: Add OkeyProxy to Ghost Proxy Console
Ghost Browser uses Identities to manage separate proxy profiles for each tab or session. Click on the Identity Manager icon (colored user icon in the top-right corner) and the gear icon next to a certain identity name. Choose “Manual Proxy Configuration” and fill in the following:
| Field | Input from OkeyProxy |
|---|---|
| Proxy Type | HTTP or SOCKS5 (as provided) |
| Proxy IP | Your OkeyProxy IP address |
| Proxy Port | Port number (e.g., 8000, 8080) |
| Username | Your OkeyProxy username |
| Password | Your OkeyProxy password |
Or you can pen the Ghost Proxy Console configuration file (typically a .txt or .csv file). Add your proxies:
user123:[email protected]:10000
If GPC uses local ports for management, map them like this:
127.0.0.1:24001 user123:[email protected]:10000
Save the file and restart Ghost Proxy Console so it loads the new proxies.
Step 3: Test the Integration
Now that your Ghost proxy is configured. Point your scraping or automation tool to 127.0.0.1:24001 (or whatever port you’ve mapped). Each request will be routed through the corresponding OkeyProxy IP.
