Quickstart
Sign up, verify your email, get a trial, and generate your first working proxy in under 5 minutes
This guide takes you from zero to a working proxy.
1. Sign up and verify
Create an account at eclipseproxy.com. We email you a verification code: paste it back into the signup page.
Code didn't arrive?
- Check spam and promotions folders
- Verify your email spelling is correct
- Contact support if you still don't receive the code
Invalid token?
Codes expire when you request a new one. Use the most recent code, or contact support for help.
2. Get bandwidth (trial or paid)
For a free trial: contact us via website chat at eclipseproxy.com with your account email and which product you want to test. We add trial bandwidth within a few hours.
To buy: open the dashboard and pick a plan. We accept credit/debit card and cryptocurrency — no extra fees on either. Prefer PayPal? It can be accepted on request: contact support via the website chat before paying.
3. Generate your first proxy
Open the Unified Proxy Generator and select your product (Residential, Datacenter, ISP, or Mobile). The generator adapts to show only the options for that product.
Pick:
- Protocol, HTTP (works almost everywhere) or SOCKS5
- Session: sticky (same IP for a while) or rotating (new IP per request)
- Country / state / city (where supported)
Copy the generated host:port:user:pass string.
4. Test it
You should see an IP that matches the country you picked. If you don't, see Common issues.
5. Plug it into your tool
Code samples by tool:
- Scripts (cURL, Python, Node)
- Browser automation (Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, Scrapy)
- Anti-detect browsers (Dolphin, AdsPower, Octo, MoreLogin)
- Regular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Mobile apps (iOS / Android)
Common first-time gotchas
My proxy is routing to the wrong country
Usually a username typo or no inventory for the target city. Re-generate from the dashboard and verify with curl -x ... https://ipinfo.io. See Wrong country IP.
I generated 20 proxies and they all look the same
Normal for rotating: each connection rotates to a different IP at the gateway. Sticky proxies have unique session IDs.
I bought bandwidth but the dashboard shows 0
Crypto may still be confirming (up to 60 min). If it's been longer, see Billing: payment issues.
How do I find my proxies after buying?
Most products are pool-based: you generate on demand from the Unified Proxy Generator (see step 3).
