How to set up datacenter proxies
Choose a subscription
After creating your account, choose the subscription option that suits your needs. We offer a range of plans and the ability to upgrade as you go throughout your proxying journey.
Select Pay per GB proxy type to get unlimited access to the whole IP pool and pay for the traffic you use or Pay per IP proxy type to get unlimited traffic and access to a specific number of IPs.
With Pay per IP, you can choose between using a shared pool of IPs or dedicated IPs that will belong only to you.
Authenticate with username:password
With Pay per GB plans, you’ll find the authentication settings in the Proxy setup tab. Meanwhile, if you bought a Pay per IP plan, go to the Authentication tab.
You’ll see that your first proxy user is created automatically. To delete it, click the three dots next to your username, select Edit user, Remove user, and Confirm.
To create a new user, click Create user. You can enter a custom username, while the password will be generated automatically.
Authenticate by whitelisting IPs
If you bought a plan with Pay per IP, you can use whitelisted IP authentication. In the Authentication tab, click on Whitelisted IPs. Then, select Add IP, enter an IP manually, and click Save. Alternatively, you can add your current IP by simply pressing + Add.
Please note that we only support IPv4 format IPs. Ensure the IP you're adding is yours, and you’re not using a proxy or VPN service.
To name your whitelisted IP, click on the three dots and Edit IP. Select the edit icon next to Name, type in any name, and save it. To remove an IP, click the trash bin icon and Confirm.
Add a traffic limit
To set a traffic limit for a user, click on the three dots, Edit user, and Add traffic limit. Input an amount of GBs the user won’t be able to exceed, and click Save.
Select parameters
Navigate to the Proxy setup tab. Select a user (if you have more than one), and then you’ll be able to customize your proxy parameters.
Under the location menu, opt for "Random," to select IPs from our pools randomly, or choose a specific country.
Under the session type menu, choose static sessions and keep the same IP or rotating sessions to change IP with each new request.
You have an option to select one or multiple specific IPs to use under the Direct IP menu.
Next, choose your preferred protocol. Our datacenter proxies support connections using HTTP, HTTPS, and endpoint:port configuration.
You can enter a number of endpoints you’d like to be generated. The default value is set to 10. Copy a specific part or one entire endpoint to your clipboard, or download the list in CSV or TXT format.
Keep track of your statistics
To monitor your proxy usage, navigate to the Statistics tab. Here, you’ll see the traffic usage for each user over a week, month, or a custom period. You can also view the amount of cumulative uploads, downloads, and requests.
