# 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' [Dedicated Datacenter Proxies](https://oxylabs.io/products/datacenter-proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies) with Proxifier.

{% 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 Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via the [dashboard](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/).  Make sure to also **enable authentication**:

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

**Address:** `ddc.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 %}

For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the [acquired list](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/self-service/proxy-list). To receive a new IP with every request, set the Port to `8000` to activate [proxy rotation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/self-service/proxy-rotation). Refer to our [documentation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/self-service) for further guidance.

### Enable proxies for a specific application

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