Sometimes you may want to reconnect to a specific IP address using either the IP address or the proxy ID.

You can find both the proxy ID and proxy IP by making a request to api.proxyrack.net/stats and then looking in the "ipinfo" section. Here's an example:

"ipinfo": {
"city": "Guediawaye",
"country": "SN",
"fingerprint": {
"osName": "Windows"
},
"ip": "41.43.224.85",
"isp": "Sonatel",
"online": true,
"proxyId": "PD50KM5LD0"
},

You can connect based on the proxy ID by adding ";proxyId={proxy ID}" or by the proxy IP by adding ";proxyIp={IP address}" after your username when you authenticate.
