In the Authentication tab, you’ll see that your first proxy user is created automatically. To delete it, click the three dots next to your username, select Edit user, Remove user, and Confirm.
To create a new user, click Create user. You can enter a custom username, while the password will be generated automatically.

Authenticate by whitelisting IPs
In the Authentication tab, click on Whitelisted IPs. Then, select Add IP, enter an IP manually, and click Save. Alternatively, you can add your current IP by simply pressing + Add.
Please note that we only support IPv4 format IPs. Ensure the IP you're adding is yours, and you’re not using a proxy or VPN service.
To name your whitelisted IP, click on the three dots and Edit IP. Select the edit icon next to Name, type in any name, and save it. To remove an IP, click the trash bin icon and Confirm.

Select parameters
Navigate to the Proxy setup tab. Select a user (if you have more than one), and then you’ll be able to customize your proxy parameters.
Under the location menu, opt for "Random," to select IPs from our pools randomly, or choose a specific country or city.
Then, select an ASN and operating system from the corresponding menus, or leave them on "Random."
Under the session type menu, choose sticky sessions and keep the same IP until the session expires (1, 10, 30, 60 minutes or a custom value of up to 24 hours) or rotating sessions to change IP with each new request.
Next, choose your preferred protocol. Our mobile proxies support connections using HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and endpoint:port configuration.
You can enter a number of endpoints you’d like to be generated. The default value is set to 10. Copy a specific part or one entire endpoint to your clipboard, or download the list in CSV or TXT format.

Keep track of your statistics
To monitor your proxy usage, navigate to the Statistics tab. Here, you’ll see the traffic usage for each user over a week, month, or a custom period. You can also view the amount of cumulative uploads, downloads, and requests.
