MaskFog + IPWeb Static Native Proxy Setup Guide

Before using IPWeb proxy services, make sure your local network can reliably access international websites and services. If you encounter connection issues, check your local network connection or contact customer support for assistance.

IPWeb provides 70M+ clean residential IPs across 220+ countries and regions, with support for HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols. It can support a wide range of use cases, including data collection, account management, and ad verification.

Among them, Static Native Proxies provide stable, fixed outbound IP addresses, making them better suited for use cases that require consistent network environments and reliable connections. This guide covers the complete process, from registration, free trial, and purchasing a Static Native Proxy to configuring and verifying an IPWeb proxy in the MaskFog fingerprint browser.

Basic Setup​

1. Create an Account​

Open the IPWeb website at https://ipweb.cc, then click sign up in the top navigation bar. If you already have an account, click sign in instead.

On the registration page, Email Register is available by default. Enter your account name/email address, email verification code, password, and password confirmation. Click Send Code, then check your email for the verification code. After completing the required fields, agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then click Sign Up to complete registration. You can also switch to Mobile Register and follow the on-screen instructions to register with your mobile number.

2. Claim Free Trial Traffic​

After registration, log in to the IPWeb User Dashboard for the first time and contact customer support to receive free trial traffic for testing all proxy types.

New users can use the trial traffic to test proxy performance first, then choose a paid plan after confirming that it meets their needs.

3. Purchase a Static Native Proxy​

After logging in to the IPWeb User Dashboard, go to Proxy Products → Static Native Proxy → Buy Proxy from the left-hand navigation menu.

On the purchase page, choose Dedicated or Shared based on your requirements, and decide whether to enable Custom purchase.

IPWeb Static Native Proxy purchase page

When purchasing, make sure to review the following parameters:

ParameterDescription
Dedicated / SharedDedicated proxies are used exclusively by the current account, while shared proxies use a shared resource pool
Country / RegionSelect the desired proxy exit location. Available locations depend on the resources currently shown in the dashboard
Use CaseSelect a use case if you have a specific business scenario; otherwise, you can leave it unselected
UDPEnable or disable UDP based on the software, protocol, and business requirements you use
BandwidthSelect the bandwidth specification required for the current proxy instance
Connections (QPS)Select the appropriate specification based on your actual concurrent request requirements
IP Subscription PeriodSelect the service period for the proxy IP
Number of IPsEnter the number of IPs you want to purchase

If Custom purchase is disabled, the page switches to preset package mode, where bandwidth, QPS, UDP, and other parameters are determined by the selected package.

After confirming that the country/region, specifications, subscription period, number of IPs, and total amount are correct, click Place Order. Once the order is generated, select one of the supported payment methods and complete the payment. After the order is confirmed, line provisioning usually takes about 3–5 minutes. Please wait for the system to complete resource provisioning.

For detailed information about Dedicated/Shared proxies, Custom Purchase, specification options, and the payment process, see the IPWeb Static Native Proxy User Guide.

4. View Proxy Connection Details​

After your Static Native Proxy has been purchased and activated, go to Proxy Products → Static Native Proxy → My IPs from the left-hand navigation menu to view the proxy resources purchased under the current account.

IPWeb purchased Static Native Proxy IPs page

In the proxy list, pay particular attention to the following details, which will be used later when configuring MaskFog:

  • IP: The purchased Static Native Proxy address;
  • Port: The port used to connect to the proxy;
  • Username / Password: The authentication credentials used to connect to the proxy;
  • Status: Make sure the current proxy resource is available.

The page also displays information such as country/region, bandwidth, Shared/Dedicated status, connections (QPS), expiration/renewal, and UDP. These details can be used to verify the current proxy resource. When configuring MaskFog later, you will mainly use the proxy IP, port, username, and password shown here.

For information about proxy filtering, account export, renewals, and other management operations, see the IPWeb Static Native Proxy User Guide.

Configure IPWeb Proxy in MaskFog​

After completing the steps above and obtaining the IPWeb server address, port, username, and password, you can add the proxy to a MaskFog browser profile.

1. Create a New Browser Profile​

Open MaskFog and click New Profile on the left.

Create a new browser profile in MaskFog

On the New Browser Profile page, first enter the profile name and configure basic settings such as the browser and User Agent as needed.

Configure basic browser profile settings in MaskFog

In the Proxy section, set Proxy setting to Custom, then click Proxy to select a device.

2. Configure the IPWeb Proxy Device​

On the Proxy page, find an available device and click Configure Device.

Configure a proxy device in MaskFog

In the Edit proxy window, enter the proxy connection details obtained from the IPWeb dashboard in the previous section:

MaskFog SettingWhat to Enter
Proxy nameEnter a custom name for easy identification, such as proxy1.
Proxy typeSelect the protocol that matches the current IPWeb proxy, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5.
Proxy HostEnter the proxy server address provided by IPWeb.
Proxy PortEnter the corresponding proxy port.
Proxy usernameEnter the proxy username provided by IPWeb.
Proxy PasswordEnter the corresponding proxy password.
NoteOptional. Add a note if needed.

For example, if the proxy connection details exported from IPWeb are formatted as:

IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD

Enter them in MaskFog as follows:

IP → MaskFog "Proxy Host"
PORT → MaskFog "Proxy Port"
USERNAME → MaskFog "Proxy username"
PASSWORD → MaskFog "Proxy Password"

Enter IPWeb proxy details in MaskFog

Note: The proxy type selected in MaskFog must match the protocol actually used by the current IPWeb proxy. If the wrong protocol is selected, the connection may fail even when the host, port, username, and password are correct.

3. Check and Bind the Proxy​

After entering the proxy information, click Check Proxy on the right.

Check the IPWeb proxy connection in MaskFog

If the page displays Connection test passed! and correctly identifies the proxy exit IP, country/region, state/province, and city, the current IPWeb proxy connection is working properly.

After confirming that the proxy is available, click OK at the bottom to save the proxy configuration.

Return to the Proxy page. The device you just configured and its proxy name will appear in the list. Click binding on the right side of that device to bind it to the current browser profile.

Bind the proxy device in MaskFog

After binding is complete, return to the New Browser Profile page. The selected proxy name will now appear in the Proxy section.

4. Create and Launch the Browser Profile​

After confirming that the device and proxy are bound, click OK in the lower-left corner to create the browser profile.

After the profile is created, MaskFog returns to Profile Management. Find the profile you just created and click Open on the right.

Once the browser starts, the profile will connect to the internet through the configured IPWeb proxy.

Launch the browser profile in MaskFog

To further confirm that the proxy is working, you can also open https://ipinfo.io or another IP-checking website in the current MaskFog browser profile and verify that the displayed exit IP matches the IPWeb proxy.

5. Troubleshooting​

IssueWhat to Check
Unable to connect to the proxyCheck that the proxy host and port are entered correctly, and make sure the current IPWeb proxy is still active.
Authentication failedRecheck the proxy username and password provided by IPWeb, and make sure no extra spaces were included when copying them.
Proxy check failsCheck whether your local network can connect to the proxy server normally.
Credentials are entered but the proxy still does not workMake sure the proxy type selected in MaskFog matches the actual IPWeb proxy protocol.
The browser shows the local IP after launchMake sure the proxy device has been saved and bound to the current browser profile.
Detected location does not match the expected regionCheck whether the IPWeb proxy you entered belongs to the target country/region or city node you purchased.

The interface layout or button names may vary slightly between MaskFog versions. Refer to the interface shown in your current client. Use proxies only for lawful and compliant business purposes, and comply with the target website's Terms of Service and all applicable local laws and regulations.
