* **Residential & Mobile proxies**
* **ISP proxies**
* **Dedicated ISP proxies**
* **Datacenter proxies**
* **Dedicated Datacenter proxies**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter proxy details

{% hint style="info" %}
When using proxies for a mobile network, the connection type can be `HTTP` only.
{% endhint %}

Fill in the setup fields for your proxy type as specified below:

* [Residential & Mobile proxies](#residential-and-mobile-proxies)
* [ISP proxies](#isp-proxies)
* [Dedicated ISP proxies](#dedicated-isp-proxies)
* [Datacenter proxies](#datacenter-proxies)
* [Dedicated Datacenter proxies (Self-service)](#dedicated-datacenter-proxies-self-service)
* [Dedicated Datacenter proxies (Enterprise)](#dedicated-datacenter-proxies-enterprise)

#### **Residential & Mobile Proxies**

**Proxy:** `pr.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `7777`

**Username**: `username`

**Password:** `password`

<figure><img src="/files/VIEqNIbsWovkVjNHFW4a" alt="Proxy details"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use random or sticky country-specific entries. For example, if you enter `us-pr.oxylabs.io` under **Proxy** and `10000` under **Port**, you’ll acquire a US exit node. If you enter `10001` under **Port**, you’ll receive the US exit node with a sticky session. You can find a complete list of country-specific proxy entry nodes [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#random-proxy-entry-nodes).
{% endhint %}

#### ISP Proxies

**Proxy:** `isp.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `8001`

#### Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)

**Proxy:** `1.2.3.4` (specific IP address)

**Port:** `60000`

**Username**: `username`

**Password:** `password`

For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired [proxy list](/products/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/enterprise/proxy-lists.md).
{% endstep %}

```
GET https://developers.oxylabs.io/integrations/proxy-integrations/android.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
