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' Residential Proxies with Proxifier.

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.

Add proxy and enter proxy details

Go to Proxy Servers and Add a new proxy.

Specify the following details for Residential Proxies:

Type: HTTPS or SOCKS5

Host: pr.oxylabs.io

Port: 7777

You can also use country-specific entries. For example, entering us-pr.oxylabs.io under Host and 10000 under Port will acquire a US exit node. Check our documentation for a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session.

Fill in your proxy credentials

Enable Authentication and enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials. Use the same username and password you entered to create a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.

Enabling 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 ISP Proxies, Mobile Proxies, Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, and Datacenter Proxies.
