In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step-by-step, arming you with the knowledge and skills to harness the combined power of Kameleo and Ping Proxies.
What is browser fingerprinting?
Were even aware that your beloved browsers were secretly spilling the beans about your online activity? It's a dirty little secret that most internet users have no idea about, but it's time to shed some light on this sneaky practice known as browser fingerprinting.
Every time you visit a website, your browser transmits all sorts of data about your device settings and browsing habits. Things like your screen resolution, font list, browser engine and hundreds of other variables – it's all being collected and together, it can be used to uniquely identify your browser session. For those that use browsers for web scraping and data gathering, or even just care about their privacy, this fingerprinting can present substantial risk.
Why, you ask? Well, when websites have this level of insight into our digital identities, it becomes increasingly challenging to maintain anonymity online and it allows websites to more easily block web-scraping of public information. It's like trying to sneak past a hall of mirrors – no matter how hard you try, there's always something giving away your position.
This is where Kameleo and Ping Proxies come in. By using an anti-detect browser and high quality proxies, we'll be able to avoid fingerprinting mechanisms and the risks they pose.
Why Use Proxies with Kameleo?
Along with browser and device fingerprinting, websites can also track other information about your connection, mainly your IP address.
Proxies help to stop the effectiveness of this tracking by acting as an intermediary between your device and the target websites. If configured correctly, proxies can help ask your connection and the subsequent information that can be garnered from it - this helps to:
Maintain Anonymity: Proxies mask your true IP address, keeping your digital identity safely under wraps.
Manage Multiple Profiles: With proxies, you can effortlessly juggle different IP addresses for each of your Kameleo browser profiles.
Access Geographically Restricted Content: Bypass regional restrictions and unlock a world of possibilities by using a proxy server based in another location.
Enhance Security: Some proxies use DNS blackholes to help provide an extra layer of protection, shielding you from online threats like Malware or Ads.

1. Sign in to Kameleo
2. Create a new Kameleo Profile
Click on "New Profile." This is the profile we'll use to connect our Ping Proxies.
3. Select your device type, operating system, browser, and language
Kameleo has hundreds of different combinations of OS, Browser Engine and Language. Fee free to select the best combination for your use-case but if you are not sure then we would recommend picking an Android Device with Chrome.
Android is built on Linux and this can help stop the potential for TCP/IP Fingerprinting since most proxy servers run on a version of Linux as well.
4. Enter your proxy information
Go to the "Connection" tab and enter your proxy settings. You will then need to enter the details of the specific proxy you want to link to this browser session.
All Ping Proxies services are provisioned username/password authentication and are show in IP_ADDRESS:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD format. For example, take the proxy below which is sent in this format:
This proxy is split into four parts separated by colons, or :'s. The segments of proxy information are below:
IP Address/Hostname: residential.pingproxies.com
Port: 7777
Username: customer-tt_pp_lz_5051-sessid-Z9tCGVYHu
Password: 23n22mk22
For Residential Pro proxies you can enter SOCKS5 or HTTP as the proxy type but for Premium Static Residential ISP or Datacenter proxies you should select HTTP only.
5. Test the Proxy
To ensure everthing is configured correctly, click the "Test Proxy" button. If your test isn't successful then go back and double-check all the information you've inputted.
6. Save and Start your New Profile
Click the save button and then you'll be taken back to the profile selection section. Then click "Start" to begin using your new browser profile which is attached to your proxy.
