Each profile behaves like a browser on a different computer: its own screen size, fonts, time zone and storage. Agencies and sellers use them to run several client or shop accounts from one machine without the accounts being linked.
The profile covers the browser. The IP address comes from the proxy you attach to it, and the two have to agree: a profile set to a German time zone should exit from a German address. The usual setup is one profile, one sticky session, kept for that profile only.
Most antidetect browsers have a proxy field in each profile's settings and a button that checks it, and many accept a whole proxy line pasted in one go. The setup guides linked below cover the menus of each browser.
Questions about antidetect browser
Do I need a proxy with an antidetect browser?
Yes. Without one, every profile shares your own IP address, and that shared address links the profiles whatever their fingerprints say.
Which proxy type suits an antidetect browser?
Residential for most accounts, and mobile for platforms used mainly on phones. In both cases use a sticky session, one for each profile.
