Quick start

📘

Residential proxies use endpoints

Endpoints are like gateways to IP pools.

The endpoint generator will automatically assign you proxies from the selected endpoint (proxy address).

---

Setup

1. First, go to the Residential proxies → Residential → Proxy setup section on your dashboard.

2. Next, choose your proxy Authentication method. This can be either your whitelisted IP or one of your proxy users. For more details check out the Proxy authentication article.
   • You can check the used traffic per proxy user or the sum of your whitelisted IPs.

3. Then, select the Location of your proxy.

   • Choosing Random means that the IP address's location will be picked randomly from one of our residential IP pools.
   • Targeting by Zip code is available with the USA location.

4. Afterward, select your preferred Session type and Protocol format.
   • Sessions for up to 24 hours can be selected or specified from the drop-down menu in the dashboard.

🚧

SOCKS5 country endpoint support

SOCKS5 requires backconnect to target specific locations.

5. You will see a proxy list of generated endpoints and ports based on your selection.
   • You can set the number of endpoints and how many of them you would like to display per page.
   • Download a .csv or .txt file of the created proxy list, or simply copy it to your clipboard.

6. Alternatively, you can copy single elements of the generated parameters, such as the Proxy Address, Port, Username, and Password, or copy the entire example string.
   • Hide your password by clicking on the eye icon. This will not affect the copy & paste function.
   • Click Switch view at the top right under Layout to display the entire parameter string.

7. You can apply these ports and endpoints to any application or tool to start using proxies instantly.
   • Check out the most popular tool guides in the Integrations overview section.
