# Connect Octo Browser

> Add your ProxyLane proxy to an Octo Browser profile.

Install Octo Browser and sign in. [Create a ProxyLane connection](/quickstart) with **HTTP / HTTPS** selected. Use **Keep the same IP** for a browsing session; [sticky sessions have limits](/rotating-and-sticky).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the proxy settings">
    Create a profile with **Quick Profile**. In its row, click **Direct**, then **Set a new proxy/VPN**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your ProxyLane details">
    Stay on the proxy tab. Paste `http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT` into **Host** (also described as **Enter IP or domain**). Use your ProxyLane values in place of the capitalized words. Octo fills the other fields from this line.

    [Find your host, port and proxy credentials](/connection-settings). These are not your ProxyLane account password.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Check and launch">
    Click **Check proxy** and wait for the green **Available** result. Confirm the connection, then click **Start** beside the profile.

    Inside that browser window, open [the IP check](https://api.ipify.org?format=json). Compare its `ip` with the same check in your regular browser on this computer, with its proxy off. Then try your intended website; the IP check alone does not prove that site works.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="The proxy check failed" icon="circle-question">
  Recheck all four values and the HTTP protocol. Confirm you have available traffic in ProxyLane. If it still fails, follow [connection troubleshooting](/troubleshooting).
