If you want to hide your real IP address from websites, then you need to configure proxies when creating a new browser profile. In this way, you will stay anonymous in online activities.
Profiles – Create Profile
Open and log in to the DICloak software. Find “Profiles” on the left navigation bar, then click the “Create Profile” button to enter the profile creation and editing page.
Create Profile – Proxy
- Proxy Mode: You can choose between custom and saved proxies. Custom proxy mode allows users to add new proxy information, while existing proxy mode enables users to select proxies they’ve previously configured.
- Proxy Type: There are several proxy types for you to choose:
- No Proxy (Local network): Directly connect through the local network without passing through any intermediate servers. This method is the fastest but does not hide the user’s real IP address and geographical location.
- HTTP: Proxy connection via the HTTP protocol is suitable for regular web browsing. It can hide the user’s real IP address but does not provide encryption during data transmission.
- HTTPS: Proxy connection via the HTTPS protocol is suitable for secure web browsing. It can hide the user’s real IP address and ensure information security through encrypted data transmission.
- Socks5: SOCKS proxy supports proxy forwarding for both TCP and UDP protocols, offering high flexibility and suitability for various network applications such as online gaming and P2P file sharing. Users can conceal their real IP addresses and circumvent firewall and geolocation restrictions.
- IPFLY (Dynamic Proxy): A dynamic proxy service that provides a series of constantly changing IP addresses. Users will receive a different IP address each time they connect, greatly enhancing privacy protection and making it difficult to be tracked and detected.
- Enter Proxy Information: If you choose any proxy type other than “No Proxy (Direct Connection)“, you need to enter the proxy information provided by the proxy service provider, including the proxy host, proxy port, proxy username, and proxy password.
- IP Lookup Channel: Currently supports IP2Location, a well-known IP geolocation database and service provider that offers various ways to query the geographical location and other related information of IP addresses.
- Checking Proxy: Click the “Checking Proxy” button to check the proxy connection status. You can also check your current IP address, country/region, and time zone at here.
Tips about Proxy Configuration
For users from mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), since domestic networks generally cannot directly access foreign IPs, you will need to configure a proxy with an overseas IP on DICloak. But before that, you will first need to set up an overseas network access through a VPS, an international private line, or other methods like VPN. Only then can you properly access foreign IPs on DICloak. If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us!
