Does Insomniac support HTTP and SOCKS5 BytesFlows proxies natively?

Insomniac has built-in proxy management with profile-level assignment — BytesFlows credentials integrate directly with Insomniac's native proxy system without workarounds. BytesFlows offers both HTTP (port 8001) and SOCKS5 (port 1080) proxy types with the same credentials — choose based on what Insomniac supports in its proxy configuration.

How many Insomniac profiles can I run simultaneously with BytesFlows?

BytesFlows does not limit concurrent connections by profile count. Your usage is tracked by bandwidth consumed. Create as many sub-users as profiles and run them simultaneously — each will route through a different residential IP.

Do I need a different BytesFlows sub-user for each Insomniac profile?

Yes, for complete IP isolation. Each sub-user gets its own proxy credential that can be assigned to a different geo target. This ensures no two profiles share an exit IP or ASN — the key requirement for multi-account isolation on major platforms.

Configure BytesFlows in Insomniac

Step-by-step guide for native proxy system integration.

1
Create a BytesFlows sub-user
BytesFlows dashboard → Proxies → Residential → Sub-users → Add User. Create one sub-user per Insomniac profile for complete isolation.
2
Open Insomniac profile settings
In Insomniac, create a new profile or edit an existing one. Navigate to the Proxy or Network settings section.
3
Enter proxy credentials
Set proxy type to HTTP or SOCKS5. Host: p1.bytesflows.com, Port: 8001 (HTTP) or 1080 (SOCKS5). Username: your BytesFlows sub-user (optionally add -cc-XX for country targeting). Password: sub-user password.
4
Test the proxy connection
Use Insomniac's built-in proxy check or our proxy test tool to verify the exit IP shows a residential ISP (not a datacenter).
5
Launch and verify
Start the profile and browse to our proxy test tool to confirm your residential IP is active. Verify the ISP and geolocation match your target.
