SessionBox Proxy Integration with Bright Data

Learn how to setup your SessionBox proxy settings and integrate with Bright Data’s Proxy IPs.

SessionBox allows you to create different browser profiles in a single window.

It enables you to login into multiple accounts on the same site at the same time. 

This can be very useful for data collection and social media automation
