**Port:** `8001`&#x20;

**For the Pay-per-IP subscription:** the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the given list. Thus, port `8001` uses the first IP address from your list.

**For the Pay-per-traffic subscription:** port `8001` picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, within the user authentication string: `user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD`. Check [country parameter](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country) for more details.
{% endhint %}

**User:** `user-username`

**Password:** `password`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to add the `user-` part to your username.
{% endhint %}

Afterward, go back to the previous screen by pressing an arrow in the top-left corner.

**Step 6.** Turn on the proxy by activating a toggle under **Not Connected**.

**Step 7.** If that is your first time using Shadowrocket, you will get an iOS prompt to add Shadowrocket to VPN configurations. Click **Allow**. You will need to enter your iPhone passcode to confirm.
