Guides
How to set up, test and choose. Each guide covers one situation.
Set up
- Log in with a username and password, or by authorizing the IP — Two ways to prove the connection is yours.
- The formats of an address list — The same list written four ways.
- A fixed address or one that changes — What we sell is fixed. An address that changes on every request is a different product.
- Choosing where the address comes out — The choice is the country the site will see, not the country you are in.
- How many addresses you need — The count starts from what happens at the same time, not from the day total.
- How many addresses for each task — The number changes with the task. The count is the same.
- Bandwidth, tasks and connections at once — Bandwidth has no cap. The limit is how many connections one address holds at once.
- What a proxy does — The site sees the address, not your connection.
- Squid on your network — The middleman on your network leaves through the address you bought.
- Switching addresses from the browser — One direct profile and one through the purchased address.
Test and fix
- Testing a whole list — The order that separates a good address from a dead one.
- When an address returns an error — Three questions before changing anything.
- The reputation of an address — A blocklist is a signal, not a verdict.
- When the answer takes too long — A timeout is a measurement, and a measurement gets compared.
- Connection refused — The port did not even answer.
- Authentication failed — The address exists. What failed was the username, the password or the IP.
- Reading a WHOIS result — The record says who answers for the block, not who is using the address.
- Blocked page: where to start — Each kind of block asks for a different move.
Browser
- Setting the address in the browser — Host, port and authentication. The rest follows.
- The browser is not going through the address — It is almost always the port, an extension, or a doubled configuration.
- Selenium is not using the address — The controlled browser opens, but it leaves through the machine IP.
- DNS and WebRTC leaks — The address changes the IP of the page. It does not change everything the browser tells.
- The country of the address shows up wrong — IP location is an estimate, and the city is the weak part.
- Address on Android — Manual proxy on Wi-Fi or an app with SOCKS5.
Code
- Using the address in code — The line is the same. What changes is how each tool writes it.
- Using the address with cURL — One more option on the command line.
- Using the address in Python — The proxies dictionary of the requests library.
- Using the address in Node.js — fetch, axios and undici take the address in different ways.
- Using the address with Selenium — The controlled browser gets the host and port. The password takes one more step.
- Using the address with Playwright — The proxy configuration sits in the browser launch.
- Using the address with Puppeteer — The Chrome argument plus page authentication.
- Using the address with Scrapy — The address goes into the middleware, not the spider.
- Using the address with HTTPX — It works in the synchronous client and the asynchronous one.
- Using the address with aiohttp — The address goes on each request, or in a connector.
- Using the address in PowerShell — The cmdlet asks for the address and the credential separately.
- Using the address in Postman — The configuration lives in the program settings, not in the request.
- Using the address in Docker — Build and run read different variables.
- Using the address in n8n — The HTTP request node has its own field for this.
- Java with your own address — Proxy properties before opening the connection.
- PHP with your own address — cURL with the address in the proxy option.
- C# with your own address — HttpClient with proxy and credentials.
- wget with your own address — http_proxy and https_proxy set apart.
Compare
- Dedicated or shared — The difference is how many people use the address besides you.
- Datacenter or residential — We sell datacenter. Residential is another product, billed by traffic.
- HTTP or SOCKS5 — Both are on every address. The port changes.
- IPv4 and IPv6: what changes when you use a proxy — Our addresses are IPv4; the difference shows up at the destination.
- A paid address or a free list — A free list is shared by thousands of strangers.
- Price per address or price per gigabyte — We charge for the package per month. Bandwidth stays out of the bill.
- Exit proxy and reverse proxy — One does not replace the other.
- Address per program or VPN for everything — Control per task or protection for the whole machine.
Uses
- Tracking a store price — One address per market, fixed, so the number stays comparable.
- Checking an ad by region — The ad that shows depends on the country of whoever opens it.
- Tracking search position by region — Search results are local. The address decides which result you see.
- Testing an API by region — A fixed address goes on an access list. One that changes does not.
- Testing a site in another market — Seeing the page the way someone in another country opens it.
- An address for data collection — Volume takes more addresses. It does not take a different kind of address.
- Preparing an address for a launch — Test the day before. The moment itself is no time to discover an error.
- Using the address on a phone — The configuration lives in the Wi-Fi, not in the app.
- One address per account — Accounts that need to stay separate cannot leave from the same IP.
- An address for social networks — Fixed and dedicated. One per account.
- An address for each network — The rule is one, whichever the network.
- An address and WhatsApp — Test before buying on the assumption that it works.
- GSA Search Engine Ranker with your own addresses — The tool takes a list file, in one of four formats.
- Scrapebox with your own list — A list file, one address per line.
- Shops and marketplaces — One account per address, one address for reading only.
Large lists
- Looking after a large list — A large list without maintenance turns into a list of dead addresses.
- Quantity is not diversity — A hundred addresses in the same block fall together.
- A fixed address for an access list — The API only accepts what is on the list. The IP cannot change on its own.
