Set Up Your Proxy
After purchasing a traffic plan, your order is activated instantly. You can configure your proxy settings — including authentication method and session type — in the Proxy Setup section under Traffic Plan in your dashboard.
Traffic plans support authentication via proxy sub-accounts(Username/Password) or IP whitelists.
To keep things clear, we've covered the two authentication methods in separate sections. See sections Username/Password Authentication and Whitelist Authentication for more details.
Test Your Connection
After setting up your proxy configuration, you can view the generated proxy list in the right-hand area. You can copy these list contents and use them in your own programs for testing.
If you want to quickly verify availability, you can switch to API Examples and use the cURL command for testing.
Of course, you can also use example codes in various programming languages to run tests in your runtime environment.
Common Setup Questions
How do I choose between Unlimited Plans and Traffic Plans?
Choosing the right plan depends on your specific needs and usage patterns. Here's a quick guide to help you decide:
Unlimited Plans
If your usage is consistent or you expect high traffic over an extended period, an Unlimited Plan may be the best choice. These plans offer unrestricted access to traffic for a fixed period, making them ideal for large-scale projects or continuous use. It's perfect for businesses with high traffic demands or users who want a simple, all-inclusive solution without worrying about usage limits.
Traffic Plans
If your traffic needs vary or you prefer more control over your usage, Traffic Plans could be a better fit. With this option, you only pay for the traffic you use. You can choose a plan based on your current needs, and if your requirements change, you can easily upgrade or adjust your plan. This is ideal for users with fluctuating traffic demands or those just starting with lower usage.
In Summary:
- Go for an Unlimited Plan if you need continuous, high-volume traffic with a predictable price for a fixed period.
- Choose Traffic Plans if you prefer flexibility and control over your traffic usage, with the ability to adjust as needed.
How many threads or connections can your proxy handle at the same time?
Our proxies are designed to be stable for a wide range of uses, including multiple devices. We do not impose strict limits on the number of devices or connections you can use.
However, creating a large number of simultaneous threads or connections on a single proxy may cause a drop in speed. For optimal performance, we recommend using each proxy on no more than 3 devices at the same time.
Can I use the proxy with my browser?
Yes, you can configure most browsers to use our proxy service:
- Go to Settings → Advanced → System
- Click "Open your computer's proxy settings"
- Enable manual proxy configuration
- Enter our proxy details
- Go to Settings → Network Settings
- Select "Manual proxy configuration"
- Enter proxy server and port
- Check "Use this proxy server for all protocols"

Which countries does the residential traffic come from?
Our residential traffic is currently available from 198 countries worldwide. We are constantly expanding and will be adding more regions in the future. You can click thisto see the full list of supported countries.
What should I do if I can't connect to the proxy server?
Solution Steps
Ensure your network is not based in mainland China
Our proxy service does not support connections from mainland China. Please make sure your local network environment is not located in mainland China.
How to check your environment: Open the command prompt and enter the following command: curl ipinfo.io, then press Enter. You will see the country and region of your network environment.
Verify if your IP is added to the whitelist
The whitelist authentication process verifies users through the IP whitelist. Therefore, you need to ensure your local IP is added to the whitelist. If you haven't added it yet, please refer to our User Guide on IP Whitelist Management to complete this process.
