How to Set Up a Custom Proxy for Your Account - When Adding New LinkedIn account

Before we get into how to set up a custom proxy, it is essential to know why it's necessary and why you can prefer it over the In-built proxy.

Setting up a custom proxy can help in

✅ Managing multiple LinkedIn accounts.
✅ Needing a stable IP address for account safety.
✅ Targeting prospects in specific regions.
✅ Avoiding LinkedIn detection for aggressive outreach.

Steps to Follow

In the Add account screen, select Add LinkedIn Account.



Enter your LinkedIn username and password

Uncheck the Use in-built proxy checkbox.



Add your custom IP address in the below fields.

For example, if your custom IP address is http://yv5yr:rz180r9m@139.5.181.138:5432

Here is how you can split it to fill in the fields shown in the below image



Custom Proxy IP: 139.5.181.138

Custom Proxy Port: 5432

Custom Proxy Username: yv5yr

Custom Proxy Password: rz180r9m

That is all.
