IP:Port format
A workaround for the endpoint:port format
Disclaimer
Our server's IP may change at any time.
We do not recommend using this format unless it's absolutely necessary (for instance, if your application does not accept the default
endpoint:port
format).
For the IP:Port
format you will need to ping the relevant server to retrieve the IP part. The ports remain the same as they were provided in the dashboard.
Windows
- Open the command line (shortcut: hit the Windows logo + R on your keyboard, then type in
cmd
and press Enter):
- Enter the following command in the command line:
ping gate.smartproxy.com
gate.smartproxy.com
is just an example endpoint. Enter the endpoint you want to use as every endpoint will have a different IP.
- As per the example above, you can see the IP of
gate.smartproxy.com
. Now you can use theIP:Port
format (95.216.50.111:7000 = gate.smartproxy.com:7000
).
macOS
- Open the Terminal (simply follow the example below and search in Finder):
- Enter the following command in the command line:
ping gate.smartproxy.com
gate.smartproxy.com
is just an example endpoint. Enter the endpoint you want to use as every endpoint will have a different IP.
- As per the example above, you can see the IP of
gate.smartproxy.com
. Now you can use theIP:Port
format (95.216.50.111:7000 = gate.smartproxy.com:7000
).
