Sphere – A Browser for Anonymity

 Last Updated : 12 Jun, 2019

Anonymity has become one of the most important parts of web surfing. Websites trace
our activities and thus our Privacy is not protected. Anonymity is not only important in
ethical hacking but also in surfing the web and searching for some important
information or working with bank transactions etc.

After Tor, sphere browser provides total anonymity and filled with some awesome
settings. The amazing thing is that it supports all three platforms which are Windows,
MAC, and Linux. Apart from that, the browser is free like any other browser.

Installing and Using Sphere Browser on Windows

Step 1: Download the sphere browser from here. Open the file and click sphere.exe and
setup will start.

Step 2: Install and add a password to it. There is no option for resetting the password.
Step 3: You can easily create a new identity and can work temporarily with it. The most
interesting facts are :

 You can choose what type of proxy settings you want, which includes tor, ssh,
tor+ssh, etc.
 You can set the time zone, that is one of the most attractive features of this
browser.
 You can check the Anonymity after creating the identity using built-in testing,
which shows the percentage of your anonymity.

The browser also shows fake operating system type and browser type. Like your
original working operating system is windows and sphere browser but it will show the
other browser like chromium or opera.
Step 4: After creating your identity just click on it and automatically a fake vision test
link will load. It will show you the test results about how anonymous you are and what
are weak points.

 The result will not show your real identity.


 The result will not show your real IP address.
 The original operating system will not be displayed as you can see in the below
image.
 The time zone that you choose must be there, you must not get the current time
zone.

How to set up different proxy for each


tab
We all often face the need to use a proxy server and a proxy list. Of course, setting up a
proxy in the browser or in special software is not some kind of magic. But sometimes it
is necessary to work with several proxies at the same time. What to do? Usually this
task is solved by installing an additional browser. This is a good solution, but it is
suitable when it comes to 2-3 browsers. But what if we need a dozen? Or even more?

In our Support Center, we are often approached with questions:

 How can I set up a proxy for each tab in one browser?


 How to install different proxy for each tab chrome?
 How to set different proxy for each tab in Firefox?

Have you ever looked for a multi-browser with a proxy for each tab?

At the moment, there are several free options for multi-browsers with different levels of
anonymity, there are very advanced solutions - honor and praise to the authors.
Why do I need a multi-account browser with separate tabs?

Firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, it does not eat memory. Open 10-15 chrome or
Firefox windows with separate profiles and see how dynamically your computer will
move.
Secondly, below we present the story of one of our clients who shares his experience.

While I had one VK group, the multi-browser question did not really bother me. At
some point, the group was blocked for cheating subscribers. Since a lot of time and
effort was invested in it, the group was very sorry. Moreover, there were no markups
there, the technical support of the contact was interrogated for about a month with the
question "what program did you cheat?", I asked to show me at least one spam post or
message, I said that the group is regional, subscribers are real people and the only thing
I screwed up was their advertising (I invested real money in it), but they never
unblocked the group. I made a conclusion for myself that it is not worth talking to these
tyrants. Realizing for myself that "putting eggs in one basket is dangerous", I decided to
develop several similar groups with several admin accounts. And then there was a need
for a multi-browser with hotel proxies and profiles. I went through a bunch of options,
including the dangerous Erdeni Multi Cookie Chrome (steal credentials).

Ghost Browser

Let's start with the simplest solution, it is not completely free, but for VK such a multi-
browser is quite suitable, meet Ghost Browser - a multi-browser with a proxy for each
tab.

Multibrowser Ghost Browser is a high-performance browser for technical specialists.


Ghost Browser is a multi-session browser that allows you to log in to multiple accounts
on the same site at the same time, and all this in one browser window. Great for website
designers and developers, quality testers, social media managers, and more. Intuitive
multi-session browsing, so effective that you will be surprised how you used to live
without it. Proxy and cookies are configured separately for each open tab. Without
additional effort and without separate windows. And there is a version for Windows and
MAC OSx!

The main function of this extension is to let you assign a different proxy for each tab in
your browser. To do this, you simply:

 Import your proxies, port, username and password through our csv import tool.
 Set your "Auto Assign" behavior to tell Ghost Browser how your want your proxies to
be assigned when opening new tabs, Identities or Workspaces.
 Freely change the proxy address for any Workspace, Identity or tab to override the
defaults whenever you want.
 Whenever you revisit a Workspace, Ghost Browser will load each tab through the
proxy you set it to use!

Yes, it's amazing!

As you can see, Ghostbrowser is available for Mac and Windows. The installation is no
different from the popular Chrome. The engine seems to be the same. After installation,
pay attention to the color of the tab, gray color means that the general (main) profile is
used. Right-click on the tab and select "Duplicate new session".

After that, a new tab will open with a separate profile, cookies and, if you use it, a
separate proxy. How do I switch the proxy? Simply click on the "ghost proxy control"
icon in the right corner.

There is a proxy manager here, with which you can configure the proxy for each tab
individually using the "add/edit proxy" button. For multithreaded applications that
support multiple simultaneous connections from different IP addresses, one anonymizer
program is not enough, a list of proxies is needed here, SOCKS5 proxies are best suited
for such tasks, because they pass traffic transparently.

The program works stably and quickly in many social networks:

 TWITTER
 FACEBOOK
 Instagram
 VK

These are social networks which we had checked out and there are no complaints. There
is a video on the developer's website that describes how and what the multibrowser is
designed for.

There are free and paid licenses available.


Linken Sphere

Linken Sphere is a very advanced Multi-Browser equipped with fingerprint protection


and substitution systems (GPU, Audio, Canvas, Plugins, Fonts, ClientRects,
Ubercookies). There are versions of Multibrowser for Windows, Mac OS, Linux. Social
networks do not recognize the configuration of your hardware, almost everything is
configured here, unfortunately, I did not find how to replace the user of the agent. The
technical competence of the developer is very high, the application turned out to be very
professional. The author's website has detailed documentation, read a lot of interesting
things. The program features much more than described in this article, and updates are
released regularly, adding new functionality.

Unfortunately, the Developer of Linken Sphere once decided that the program would be
paid, and it costs decently: from $ 100 per month.

Different proxy for each tab - Chrome

As for now, the best available extension for Google Chrome is SessionBox. Tabs
managed by SessionBox do not use shared storage, variables are handled by the
extension. Other tabs and websites therefore cannot monitor your activity. Use one
browser with multiple active sessions per site. Log into multiple accounts on the same
site simultaneously. No more need for secondary browsers, private sessions, let
SessionBox handle these for you.
There is a feature to have different proxy for each tab in Chrome, but for this feature, a
paid subscription is required.

Step-by-step guide how to set up a proxy server in SessionBox:

 Go to session settings (click on the 3 dots menu and click on settings menu item)
 Go to the Other tab
 Specify proxy server and port number
 Click on Update proxy settings button

For now, unfortunately this plugin does not have the exact same features, as FireFox
extension. Firefox Multi-Account Containers is the only reason why we recommend
Firefox... see detailed description below.

Multibrowser with proxy for each tab for free!

You may be surprised, is there a free browser that supports a unique proxy for a
separate tab? It turns out that such a solution exists! Of the free multi-browsers, Firefox
is known with the Multi-Account Containers extension. As it turned out, this is
possible, and only two additional plugins are needed for this, if you are interested, read
our article.

Cheap proxies - where to buy?

Proxies are indeed a must if you want to maintain a true separation of accounts as they
help hide your IP footprint by providing each account a different IP address. We need
Proxies for our work: reliable, proven and at the same time it is suspicious to authorize
them every time, VK sends a notification when changing the IP address, and may even
block the account. Therefore, we offer a proven solution - cyber-gateway.net proxies.
