# Proxifier

[Proxifier](https://www.proxifier.com/) is a universal proxy enabler for Windows, macOS, and Android that allows applications that **don't natively support proxies** to connect to the internet through a proxy server.

This guide will demonstrate how to set up Oxylabs' [Datacenter Proxies](https://oxylabs.io/products/datacenter-proxies) with Proxifier.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Download Proxifier

[Download](https://www.proxifier.com/) and install Proxifier and make use of the 31-day free trial. On Windows, you can also get a portable version.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Before adding proxies, disable VPNs, in-app proxy settings, or operating system proxy settings you might already have to avoid conflicting or double reroutes.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add proxy

Go to **Proxy Servers** and **Add** a new proxy.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter proxy details

Specify the following if you purchased Datacenter Proxies and **enable authentication**:

**Protocol:** `HTTPS` or `SOCKS5`

**Address:** `dc.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `8001`

**Username:** `user-USERNAME`

**Password:** `PASSWORD`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to prepend `user-` to your username (e.g., `user-john123`).
{% endhint %}

#### **Pay-per-IP subscription**

The port corresponds to the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the [provided list](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/proxy-list). Hence, port `8001` uses the first IP address from your list. To activate [proxy IP rotation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/ip-control), set the port to `8000`.

You can also define the desired [geo-location](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country), such as the US, by formatting the proxy **username** as follows: `user-USERNAME-country-US`.

#### **Pay-per-traffic subscription**

The port `8001` randomly selects an IP address but remains consistent throughout a session. Setting the port value to `8000` will turn on [proxy IP rotation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/ip-control).

You can also specify [geo-location](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country), such as the US, in the **username** string: `user-USERNAME-country-US`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enable proxies for a specific application

Go to **Proxification Rules** and **Add** a new rule.

**Browse** for an application (locate an `.exe` file) and select your newly added proxy as an **Action**.

<figure><img src="/files/AuZAztGIyvpRo1JA74JW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can rearrange the proxification rule priority from top to bottom.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** The **Default** rule applies to all connections if you don’t have a custom rule on top of it.
{% endhint %}
