Set Up Proxies.sx in Incogniton: Private Modems and Shared Pool

1. Choose the product that fits your profile

Private Modems are separate from the per-GB Private Pool product. Check the selected modem's current rental price or the pool's country tier before buying. Country tiers change how much shared allowance a GB of traffic consumes; the same balance does not buy the same raw traffic in every country.

A mobile carrier can change a modem's public IP. Neither a private rental nor a sticky session promises an immutable IP. Separate profiles also do not, by themselves, guarantee different exit IPs.

2A. Copy your Private Modem connection

1. In Private Modems, choose an available location, carrier and rental period. Review the price, fund your account if needed, and confirm the rental.
2. Open My modems in the customer dashboard. Wait until the rental is active and its connection details are available.
3. Copy the modem's SOCKS5 host, SOCKS5 port, username and password. Use the endpoint shown for that rental; do not replace it with the shared gateway or append pool-routing tokens.
4. Keep any IP-change link private. Use it only when you intend to rotate the modem, because other profiles using the same modem can be affected.

Give the connection a recognizable label, such as incogniton_modem_01. Multiple profiles using these same credentials share that modem. If your workflow requires independently controlled modems, select separate available rentals and verify their exits rather than assuming distinct public IPs.

2B. Generate your shared-pool connection

1. Open Pool Gateway and check that your account has traffic available.
2. Choose the pool explicitly: mbl for carrier modems, peer for the mixed SDK network, or best/any to allow both. Select a country with live stock. For residential classification, select the Residential IP-class filter; peer alone does not mean residential-only.
3. For a profile you plan to reopen, choose sticky mode and keep its session ID. Start with any carrier and any city unless you need a specific route. Extra filters reduce available stock.
4. Select SOCKS5, set Count to 1, and generate the connection. Copy the complete generated username and the proxy password, not your dashboard password or API key.

The uppercase value is a placeholder. Preserve the whole generated username when copying it: the pool, country and SID are part of the routing request. Give each workflow its own saved SID. Different SIDs may still select the same exit IP.

The shared gateway also supports HTTP CONNECT at gw.proxies.sx:7000. This is a plain HTTP proxy carrying HTTPS destination traffic through CONNECT, not a TLS connection to the proxy itself. Keep SOCKS5 on port 7001; do not mix the two protocols or assume an app's HTTPS label means TLS-to-proxy support.

3. Add the connection to Incogniton

Incogniton's current documentation calls the saved-proxy area Proxy Library. Older builds may use different labels. This follows its official external-proxy instructions.

1. Open Proxy Library → + New proxy. Set a name you will recognize in the profile selector.
2. Select SOCKS5. Enter the copied host and port in Proxy (ip:port), then fill Proxy username and Proxy password separately.
3. Click Check. If it succeeds, review the reported location and click Add to save.
4. Create a profile or edit an existing one. In its Proxy tab, choose Proxy Library → Select from Proxy Library, then select the saved connection.
5. Save the profile and click Launch. Verify the connection inside that browser before running your workflow.

Incogniton also documents bulk import as host:port:username:password, one connection per line. Prove one connection first, then prepare a list in that exact order. Keep exported files private; they contain working credentials.

4. Check one profile before adding more

1. From inside the launched profile, open an IP-check page and confirm the observed country matches your selected route. Compare the selected proxy with the profile's saved settings.
2. Visit one page required by your own workflow. A proxy check passing does not prove that a destination will accept your session.
3. Close and reopen the profile using the same connection. Check again, especially if continuity matters to your task.
4. For the shared pool, review the traffic counter after usage has settled. Record the location, time and observed result before increasing the number of profiles.

One successful check is a useful starting point, not a throughput or uptime measurement. Keep the pilot small enough to understand its cost and failure behavior.

5. Keep sessions and modem rotation separate

For the shared pool, -sid- identifies the saved binding and -rot-sticky prefers the same eligible device. Timed modes such as -rot-auto20 need a stable SID; after 20 minutes, a new connection may trigger reselection. Existing sockets stay open, and a different IP is not guaranteed. Use a new SID when changing routing settings.

Incogniton's Rotating proxy option expects a provider rotation URL. It is not required to enable shared-pool timed rotation. Do not paste a pool username or an authenticated management API endpoint into that field.

For a Private Modem, use the IP-change control supplied with the rental. Before putting its link into Incogniton, confirm it is a standalone rotation URL supported by that modem. This guide has not tested Incogniton's rotation-URL callback against a live rental. A rotation can interrupt active work; test it deliberately on your own rental.

Read the Pool Gateway reference for the complete routing grammar and the IP-rotation test guide for checking actual behavior.

When the connection does not work

For help, send the product, selected country/pool, Incogniton version, UTC time and exact error to maya@proxies.sx. Remove passwords, full proxy strings and rotation links. The gateway error reference explains account, quota and stock failures separately.

Start with the connection you need

For control of one modem, check Private Modem availability. For a metered country-specific test, generate one Pool Gateway connection. Then follow the steps above before adding profiles.
