Octo Browser 3.1 was released on September 7, 2026. Almost all the changes concern network connections.
You can now assign a VPN to a profile just like a proxy: upload a .conf file or paste the configuration as text. WireGuard and AmneziaWG are supported, with other protocols promised later. The “Proxies” list has been renamed “Proxies and VPNs.” Different profiles can run through different VPNs at the same time. You can assign one configuration to multiple profiles, but only on the same device: when launched from different computers, packets may be lost.
Profiles with a VPN can now spoof the operating system at the network level: Windows, macOS, Android, or the actual system. A website can identify the OS from network packet parameters, so if a profile claims to be running Windows while the network reveals a Linux machine, the mismatch is detectable. This kind of spoofing is not yet possible with proxies because the proxy server establishes the connection to the website. Octo claims that it is the only antidetect browser with this capability.
Hive Proxy has added mobile proxies to the proxy shop, while the new provider Nodyx sells residential and mobile proxies with UDP support. Mobile and residential traffic are tracked separately, with a separate balance for each.
Smaller changes include the last-launch IP address, date, and location in the profile table; the network OS and MTU in connection details; and automatic decoding of Base64 cookies on import. The service status page at status.octobrowser.net is now live.
