Enter proxy details
Type the Name of your proxy, select the proxy protocol (HTTP or SOCKS5), and enter your proxy details (ip:port@login:pass) according to the proxy types listed below.
To enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials, use the same username and password you entered to create a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.
Protocol: HTTP or SOCKS5
IP: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
Login: user-USERNAME
Pass: PASSWORD
Note: Don't forget to add user- prefix to your username.
Pay-per-IP subscription
The port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the proxy list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. You may also enable proxy IP rotation by setting the port to 8000.
Additionally, you can pick geo-location, such as the US, by setting the Proxy account to user-USERNAME-country-US.
Pay-per-traffic subscription
Port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. Alternatively, you can rotate proxy IPs with each request by using port 8000.
You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy account to user-USERNAME-country-US.
Testing
To check proxy functionality, either click anywhere or on the dedicated proxy test button.
If the test is successful, a valid geolocation and its corresponding time zone will appear next to your proxy details.
Finally, click the green check mark (save proxy). You can add as many proxies as you like and pair or unpair them with different browser sessions.
Set proxies
A new profile uses a direct connection by default, so to use your proxies with browser sessions, select a profile (the boxes on the left) and click Set proxy.
In the pop-up window, use the boxes on the left to select the proxies you wish to set on the chosen profile(s) and click Set to finish proxy setup.
And that’s it. You’ve successfully integrated your Oxylabs proxies with the Linken Sphere browser. You can find the original Linken Sphere browser integration blog post here.
