Proxifier

Proxifier 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' Dedicated Datacenter Proxies with Proxifier.

1

Download Proxifier

Download and install Proxifier and make use of the 31-day free trial. On Windows, you can also get a portable version.

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.

2

Add proxy

Go to Proxy Servers and Add a new proxy.

3

Enter proxy details

Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via the dashboard. Make sure to also enable authentication:

Protocol: HTTPS or SOCKS5

Address: ddc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

Username: user-USERNAME

Password: PASSWORD

For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list. To receive a new IP with every request, set the Port to 8000 to activate proxy rotation. Refer to our documentation for further guidance.

4

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.

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

NOTE: The Default rule applies to all connections if you don’t have a custom rule on top of it.

This guide is also available for Residential Proxies, ISP Proxies, Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, and Datacenter Proxies.
