SessionBox extension
Step 1
Download the SessionBox extension for Chrome or Opera. For Firefox, visit the official website and click Install in the top-right corner.
Step 2
Open the add-on, create a new account or log in, or continue without it.
Step 3
Click the three horizontal lines to open a menu, and click Settings.
Step 4
Navigate to the Proxy tab and click Add New to create a profile.
Step 5
Name your profile and enter the details of your chosen proxy type:
Residential & Mobile Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Address: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
You may also use additional parameters with residential and mobile proxies to set the geo-location (country, state, city, and etc.) and control sessions. Check out the Residential Proxies documentation to learn more.
Datacenter Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Address: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
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.
Furthermore, you can specify the geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
The 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.
If you want to use a specific geo-location, for example, the US, set the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)
Type: HTTP or SOCKS5
Address: 1.2.3.4 (IP address from your proxy list)
Port: 60000 (HTTP), 1180 (SOCKS5)
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via sales), you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired proxy list.
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Self-service)
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Address: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via Oxylabs dashboard), the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired proxy list. If you want to get a different IP with each request, change the Port to 8000 to enable proxy rotation.
ISP Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Address: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
ISP Proxies assign each port to a specific IP address and location. Port 8001 always uses the first IP from your proxy list. Use port 8000 to enable proxy rotation.
To get rotating IPs from a specific country's proxy pool, set the username using this format: user-USERNAME-country-XX, where XX is the country code (e.g., US for United States).
Dedicated ISP Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Address: disp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
You will need to choose the port assigned to an IP address from the purchased proxy list, which you can find on the Oxylabs dashboard. The 8001 port will pick the first IP address from your list for all requests. Use port 8000 for automatic proxy IP rotation.
