Adding and configuring proxies

The following methods for adding proxies are available in Linken Sphere

1. When creating a new session

In the "New session" window, open the "Connection" block. Specify the proxy type (HTTP / HTTPS, SOCKS5, SSH, or DIRECT) and enter the host, port, login, and password. You can import multiple lines at once using "Quick paste".

2. When creating or editing a preset

In the "Presets" menu, select "Create preset" or open an existing one. In the "Connection" block, set the desired proxy parameters. All sessions created based on this preset will inherit the specified proxy.

3. Quick proxy insertion in the session manager

In the session manager, you can link or replace a proxy in three ways:

• Click in the "Proxy" column of the desired row and manually enter or paste a new line in the host:port:login:password format.

• In the "Actions" column (smart shortcuts), click the "two connected dots and an arrow" icon - the "Quick paste" window will open, where you can paste multiple proxy lines at once, one per line.

• Click the three dots icon to the right of the session, select "Set proxy" and add the data in the window that appears.

Sphere will automatically determine the connection type, check the proxy, and link it to the selected sessions.

4. Via Proxy Manager

Opens when you click the Proxy icon in the upper right corner of the toolbar. Here you can import a list or a .txt / .csv file, test the speed and geolocation, and then bulk apply the selected proxies to sessions or desktops.

Case

Let's consider adding a proxy using the Proxy Manager.

Proxy Manager is a built-in tool for managing proxy servers in Linken Sphere. It helps you add, check, edit, and use proxies when creating sessions.

Procedure:

1. Opening Proxy Manager

1. Click the Proxy icon in the upper right sidebar menu.

2. A window will open where you can add and configure proxies.

2. Adding a single proxy manually

1. Click the "Add" button.

2. Set a name (e.g., Proxy 1).

3. Specify the proxy data:

   • IP address

   • Port

   • Login and password (if any)

4. After entering the data, the proxy check starts automatically.

   • The current IP is retrieved

   • Geolocation is determined

5. If you use a dynamic proxy, activate "Live mode" and add a link to change the IP.

3. Working with already added proxies

You can:

• Re-check proxies

• Save changes

• Delete outdated or non-working proxies

4. Importing a proxy list

1. Click the "Import from list" button.

2. In the window that opens:

   • Select the protocol (e.g., SOCKS5)

   • Specify a common name for the group (e.g., by country: US)

   • Paste the proxy list in a free format (flexible input format)

3. All proxies are automatically checked (IP, country, zip code)

4. Bulk actions available:

   • Check

   • Delete

   • Export to file

   • Remove duplicates and non-working proxies

   • Cloning between desktops

5. Using a proxy when creating a single session

1. Click "Create session".

2. Set a name (e.g., USA Proxy Test).

3. In the "Connection" block, open Proxy Manager.

4. Select the desired proxy and click "Set".

   • The proxy data will be substituted automatically

5. Click "Create".

6. The session passes the connection check and is created.

   • In the desktop list, you can see that the session is linked to the desired proxy

   • The proxy name is displayed in the session

6. Bulk session creation using Proxy Manager

1. Delete the previous test session (if necessary).

2. Create a preset:

   • Set a name (e.g., USA Proxy)

• invisible text for space

  • Open Proxy List - all added proxies are displayed

  • Check the desired proxies (already used ones are marked in red)

  • Click "Set"

3. Connections will be pulled automatically (e.g., 10 pieces)

4. Other parameters can be left as default

5. Click "Create" - the preset will be saved

6. Go to the bulk session creation window

7. Select the created preset, specify the number of sessions, and click "Create"

8. Wait for completion:

   • You will receive notifications that the Proxy Manager is empty and sessions are created

   • Each session will indicate the proxy name and a mark that it was taken from the Proxy Manager

Now you know how to:

• Add and configure proxies

• Work with single and bulk sessions

• Simplify routine tasks using presets and imports

Useful details

Bulk import accepts both the classic host:port:login:password format and JSON configurations for Shadowsocks.
