If you’re new to online work, you might have noticed that some survey platforms — like Prolific — only allow access from specific countries. That’s where antidetect browsers and proxies come in handy.
Don’t worry if this sounds technical — this guide will show you step by step how to connect a proxy inside an antidetect browser. By the end, you’ll be ready to unlock geo-restricted surveys easily.
🛠️ What You’ll Need
-
An antidetect browser
- Recommended: AdsPower or Dolphin Anty
These browsers let you create multiple browsing profiles, each with a unique fingerprint (so websites see you as a “real” individual user).
-
A proxy
- A proxy gives you an IP address from another country (for example, the UK or USA), letting you appear as if you are browsing from there.
- You can buy residential or mobile proxies from providers like Smartproxy, Proxyrack, or IPRoyal.
-
Survey account
- For example, a Prolific account registered under the supported country or get it from our site.
🔑 Step 1: Install Your Antidetect Browser
- Download and install AdsPower or Dolphin Anty from their official websites.
- Create an account (both offer free tiers to get started).

🔑 Step 2: Create a New Profile
- Open your antidetect browser dashboard.
- Click “Create New Profile.”
- Choose a name for your profile (example: “UK Prolific”).

🔑 Step 3: Add a Proxy
- In the profile settings, look for Proxy Settings.
- Enter the details from your proxy provider:
- Proxy type: Usually
HTTP
or SOCKS5
- IP address and Port
- Username & Password (if required)

- Click “Test Proxy.”
- If it shows success (green check), you’re good to go.
- If it fails, re-check your credentials.
🔑 Step 4: Launch the Browser Profile
- After saving, click “Open” to launch the browser with your proxy.
- Visit a site like https://whatismyipaddress.com to confirm your IP is showing the target country.

🔑 Step 5: Access Geo-Locked Surveys
Now that your browser is set up:
- Go to Prolific or any other geo-locked survey site.
- Log in with your account.
- You’ll see surveys available for the country your proxy represents. 🎉
✅ Tips for Beginners
- Always use the same proxy for the same account (to avoid flagging).
- Use residential proxies for better stability.
- Don’t open multiple survey accounts with the same IP — platforms can detect this.
🎯 Conclusion
Using an antidetect browser with a proxy might sound advanced, but once you try it, it’s just a few clicks. With AdsPower or Dolphin Anty, you can bypass geo-restrictions and start earning from platforms like Prolific, even if they’re not available in your country.

Happy surveying and stay consistent!
