Step 1 - Login to your dashboard
Login to your user dashboard here.
Step 2 - Verify your identity and email address
Before you can see your proxy connection details, you will need to first verify your identity and email address. We require all users of the Proxyrack network (including trial users) to go through the identity verification process.
You can verify your identity here.
You can verify your email address by clicking on the verification email that we sent to your email inbox. Click on the link in the email and your email address will be verified.
Step 3 - Familiarize yourself with your dashboard and find your proxy connection details
In the navigation bar, under "Your Active Services", click on the proxies that you would like to use.
When the page loads, you will see 4 tabs at the top of the page:
Information: This tab will show your subscription information
Proxy Endpoints: This tab shows your proxy connection details
Authentication: This tab shows your username and API key, as well as any whitelisted IP addresses
Webstats: This tab shows stats about your proxies, such as bandwidth used, thread usage, connection history, etc.
Click on the "Proxy Endpoints" tab. Here you will find the connection details for your proxies. Depending on the service you are using, you will see access to different types of ports. Here is a guide that explains the difference.
You will find your username and password for authentication listed under the "Authentication" tab or on the Authentication page here. You can also authenticate with your IP address. Here is a full guide on the authentication methods.
Step 4 - Configure your proxies
Your next step will be configuring your proxies wherever you would like to use them. This could be in a browser, code, an application, etc. Below are some walkthrough videos that explain how to configure your proxies in different places:
Firefox Configuration: https://youtu.be/SyXA4pDRiRU
Chrome Configuration: https://youtu.be/YgiZdFc3NNw
Application Configuration: https://youtu.be/3pEZz7pfpJY
Mac System-Wide Configuration: https://youtu.be/r6NoT4HHxIc
Windows System-Wide Configuration: https://youtu.be/hClbQ3n6fqc
You can find code examples here.
Please note that our old dashboard is shown in these videos. These will be updated soon. However, in the meantime, the setup will be the same, you will just need to find your connection details in the new dashboard.
Step 5 - Advanced settings
We offer a number of different settings and API methods that you can use with your proxies. The most popular of which is geo-targeting. We have a number of guides on this here.
You can also find guides for how to use all of the various API methods/commands here.
