The dashboard

The dashboard is where you open and configure proxy ports, manage identities and gateways, and run batch jobs. This tour walks through every tab and dialog.

Signing in

Open http://127.0.0.1:8891. If a password is set, you'll sign in first. You can switch the interface language (English, Russian, Chinese) from the header at any time.

Overview tab

The Overview tab is the home of the dashboard. At the top, stat cards show open ports, your port limit, the global idle timeout, and how many browser identities are available. Below is a table of every open port.

Each row shows the port number (with a one-click copy button for the proxy address), protocol, current identity, mode, browser filter, upstream and active feature flags. Click a row to expand it and edit that port's settings — identity mode, browser and OS, upstream and chain, header/HTTP-2 spoofing, and the idle timeout — or to rotate the identity, run a test, view the profile, or close the port.

  • + Open Port — opens a single new proxy port.
  • + Port Pool — opens a batch of ports at once.
  • The search box filters the table by port number; a page-size selector appears when you have many ports.

Opening a port

The Open Port dialog starts with two quick-start presets so you can get going in one click:

  • Browser — for driving a real browser through the port. It matches and normalizes the browser's own fingerprint.
  • HTTP client — for scripts and HTTP libraries. It assigns and presents a complete, coherent browser identity.

A free port is suggested automatically. You can choose the protocol (SOCKS5 or HTTP), set an upstream proxy or a saved gateway, add a first hop, and pick how the identity is selected. Pre-flight tests let you check the upstream and detect DNS/IPv6 leaks before the port opens.

VPN Configs tab

The VPN Configs tab manages saved gateways — OpenVPN (.ovpn) and VLESS profiles — that ports and chains can route through. Add a gateway once here, then select it by name when opening ports or building routes.

Presets tab

Presets let you save port configurations and re-apply them later. Organize them into folders with drag-and-drop, save all open ports or a selection, and load a preset onto a port when you need it.

Domain Routing tab

Domain routing rules send specific domains through a different upstream or gateway, or apply different settings for them. Each rule has a name, a list of domain matchers, a route, and an optional spoofing override. Rules are applied in order and saved automatically.

Port Pool

The Port Pool (the + Port Pool button on the Overview tab) opens a pool of ports from a proxy list for large, concurrent jobs. Provide a proxy list (upload a snapshot or point to a file), choose a device mix and other options, and open the pool. Running pools appear on the Overview tab, where you can watch progress and stop them.

It is a convenient fit for scrapers, parsers, posters and similar automation systems: it gives each of them a real browser's network-request identity, with no code changes and no deep integration into your application — you simply point the tool at a pooled port.

Settings

The Settings dialog (the gear icon in the header) is where you change your dashboard password, view and rotate your API key, and sign out. The API key authenticates programmatic calls — see the API reference.

ImportantTreat your API key like a password. Anyone with it and access to the dashboard port can control your ports. Rotate it if it may have been exposed.

Root certificate

The CA Certificate button in the header opens step-by-step instructions for trusting the root certificate on each platform, plus direct downloads. Install it on every device that connects through the proxy so HTTPS works without warnings.
