How Do I Use a Proxy?

Written by Proxyrack

You can use a proxy by entering its connection details into the app, browser, software, or code you're using.

How to Connect to a Proxy:

1. Open your active proxy

Log in to your dashboard and open the proxy service you want to use.
​

2. Find your proxy credentials

Go to the Endpoints or Authentication section and copy the following details:

  • Hostname

  • Port

  • Username

  • Password

3. Enter your proxy details

Depending on the software you're using, you can enter the details in the following format:

hostname:port:username:password

For example:

global.rotating.proxyrack.net:9000:username:password

You can also use a full proxy URL:

http://username:password@hostname:port

4. Add the proxy to your application

Paste the proxy configuration into the browser, software, application, or script you're using.

The exact steps for configuring a proxy can vary depending on the application you're using. If you're unsure how to configure a proxy in your specific software, contact our support team with the name of the application you're using and we'll help you get started.
