How to Set Up Proxies.sx Mobile Proxies in VMLogin (2026 Guide)
VMLogin is an antidetect browser that gives every profile its own fingerprint and its own proxy. This guide walks through New Browser Profile, Setting Proxy Server, the Proxy Type dropdown, the IP Address field, and Test Proxy - using a masked example PROXIES.SX proxy so you can follow along before pasting in your real credentials.
Every panel below is a labeled schematic mockup built to match VMLogin's documented field names and flow - not a real screenshot. Your actual VMLogin screens may look slightly different depending on your version. For real screenshots, see the official VMLogin docs.
What you need
On the VMLogin side
- VMLogin installed and an account you are logged into
- One browser profile ready, or the willingness to create a new one
On the PROXIES.SX side
- An active proxy with GB balance
- Your real host, port, username and password from client.proxies.sx
- Whether that endpoint is HTTP or SOCKS5
Don't have a proxy yet? See how to buy proxies or open your client.proxies.sx dashboard to grab real credentials.
The proxy string format
VMLogin documents two accepted paste formats for the IP Address field. Both work with a PROXIES.SX proxy - the values below are masked examples, not real credentials.
Format 1 - IP:Port:Username:Password
gw.proxies.sx:10001:user-xxxxx:••••••••Format 2 - Username:Password@IP:Port
user-xxxxx:••••••••@gw.proxies.sx:10001| PROXIES.SX dashboard field | Goes into the VMLogin string as |
|---|---|
| Host | IP |
| Port | Port |
| Username | Username |
| Password | Password |
The protocol (HTTP or SOCKS5) is not part of either string - it is set separately in the Proxy Type dropdown described in Step 3 below.
Step-by-step setup
Install VMLogin and sign in
Download VMLogin from the official site and install it, then register an account and log in. VMLogin lists a 3-day free trial, so you do not need a paid plan just to test the proxy connection.

Click "New Browser Profile" and set a Display Name
On the VMLogin homepage, click New Browser Profile. In the Basic Configuration screen, set a Display Name (something you will recognize later, like "PROXIES.SX - US mobile"), then click Setting Proxy Server.

Enable Proxy Server and choose the Proxy Type
In the proxy panel, select Enable Proxy Server, then choose the Proxy Type. VMLogin lists HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and IPv6 - pick whichever matches the endpoint you copied from your PROXIES.SX dashboard.

Paste your PROXIES.SX proxy into the IP Address field
In the IP Address field, paste your host, port, username and password in one of VMLogin's two supported formats. Click Paste Proxy Info and VMLogin will auto-fill the fields for you.

Click "Test Proxy" and confirm it passes
Click Test Proxy to verify the connection before you save anything. A passing test is your signal that the host, port, username and password were entered correctly.

Click "Save Profile"
Once the test passes, configure any other profile parameters you want, then click Save Profile in the bottom right corner. The proxy is now attached to this one browser profile.

Launch the profile from the Browser Profile List
Click Browser Profile to open the Browser Profile List, find the profile you just configured, and double-click it to launch. The browser opens using your PROXIES.SX proxy for that session only.

Managing proxies across many profiles
Editing one profile at a time is fine for a handful of accounts. VMLogin also documents a few ways to handle more:
Edit an existing profile
Select the browser in the list, right-click, choose Edit Proxy Configuration, update the fields, and save.
Batch import
Select multiple profiles, right-click, choose Batch import proxy to the selected profile, and pick a TXT file with one proxy per line.
Batch export
Select multiple profiles, right-click, choose Batch export proxy of the selected profile, and save the TXT file.
SOCKS5:gw.proxies.sx:10001:user-xxxxx:••••••••Illustration - your actual file layout may differ.
The batch import line adds the proxy type as a prefix: proxytype:IP:port:username:password. Give each PROXIES.SX proxy in the file its own line so every profile keeps a distinct IP.
Troubleshooting
Test Proxy fails or times out
Re-check the host and port for typos, confirm the proxy is active and has GB balance remaining, and confirm nothing on your local network (firewall, VPN) is blocking the connection.
IP Address field will not accept the string
VMLogin only accepts IP:Port:Username:Password or Username:Password@IP:Port. Remove any extra spaces or line breaks and make sure no field is missing.
Profile launches but shows your real IP
Enable Proxy Server was probably left off, or the profile was saved before the test passed. Reopen Setting Proxy Server, confirm the toggle is on, and re-test.
Proxy Type mismatch
A SOCKS5 endpoint set to HTTP (or the reverse) will fail Test Proxy. Match the Proxy Type dropdown to the protocol shown on your PROXIES.SX dashboard.
Batch import file is not recognized
Each line needs the proxy type prefix - proxytype:IP:port:username:password - saved as a plain TXT file, one proxy per line.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Proxy Type dropdown in VMLogin lists HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and IPv6. PROXIES.SX issues both HTTP and SOCKS5 endpoints, so pick whichever protocol matches the proxy string you copied from client.proxies.sx.
VMLogin documents two accepted paste formats: IP:Port:Username:Password, or Username:Password@IP:Port. Either works with a PROXIES.SX proxy - use whichever your dashboard displays, or reformat it yourself using the field map in this guide.
Yes. VMLogin sets the proxy per browser profile, either one at a time through Setting Proxy Server, or for many profiles at once through batch import. Assigning one dedicated proxy per profile is the whole point of pairing mobile IPs with an antidetect browser.
From your client.proxies.sx dashboard - never from a guide. See /how-to-buy-proxies for how bandwidth and endpoints work, then copy your actual credentials from the dashboard into VMLogin.
The most common causes are an extra space pasted into the IP Address field, a Proxy Type that does not match the endpoint (HTTP endpoint set to SOCKS5, or vice versa), or a GB balance that has run out. Re-copy the string fresh from your dashboard and re-check the Proxy Type before testing again.
