Generating proxies

After signup and getting bandwidth, you generate proxies on demand from the dashboard. The flow is the same across products: only the options differ.

Where to generate

All proxy types are generated from a single, unified generator:

Unified Proxy Generator

Select your product (Residential, Datacenter, ISP, or Mobile) and the generator adapts to show only the options for that product.

General flow

1. Open the right generator
2. Pick protocol (HTTP or SOCKS5)
3. Pick session type (sticky or rotating): products that support it
4. Pick geo targeting (country, state/city, ASN, ISP): products that support it
5. Pick auth method (user:pass everywhere; IP whitelist on Residential only)
6. Pick quantity
7. Generate → copy the proxy string

Per-product setup details

Each product has its own targeting rules, ports, and format quirks. Pick yours:

• Residential setup: the most options (countries, state/city, ASN, ISP, sticky/rotating)
• ISP setup: dedicated IPs by category, UDP
• Datacenter setup, IPv4 and IPv6, no IP whitelist
• Mobile setup, _ separator format, city + region together

Authentication

User:pass vs IP whitelist, and how to reset your proxy password: see Authentication.

Two equivalent proxy formats

Different tools want different formats. These are equivalent:

Colon-separated:

host:port:username:password

URL:

http://username:password@host:port

For SOCKS5, swap http:// for socks5://.

Generating in bulk

The dashboard lets you generate multiple proxies at once. For programmatic bulk generation across many countries or sessions, use the API.
