Start using Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

A step-by-step guide to start using fast, dedicated Datacenter Proxies.

Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

Create a proxy user

Start by creating an account on the Oxylabs dashboard, then select a pricing plan that fits your requirements and create a proxy user.

Find your proxy list

In the Oxylabs dashboard, head to My Products → Dedicated Datacenter Proxies → Proxy list. For more details, see the Proxy List page on our documentation.

Make a cURL request

After creating a proxy user, you’ll see a cURL sample you can copy:

curl -x ddc.oxylabs.io:8001 -U "user-USERNAME:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

Replace the USERNAME and PASSWORD with the proxy user credentials you’ve just created and paste the code into your terminal or any other setup. Then, hit Enter to make a basic request using the first IP address from your proxy list. If you want to use the second IP address, you have to use port 8002.

Check out this video guide for a quick walkthrough:

Proxy rotation and location parameters

In case you want to rotate your proxies, you can use port 8000. It will automatically pick a random IP address from your proxy list with each request.

If you want to select random IPs from a specific geo-location, you can do so by adding a country- parameter to your credentials. For example, "user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD" will connect you to a US-based proxy. ​See the Proxy Rotation page for more information.

Integration guides

For integrating proxies with third-party software, such as proxy managers, see this integrations page. There, you’ll find in-depth configuration tutorials for the most popular applications.
