{% step %}

### Set up Dedicated ISP Proxies

A new tab will open up where you can **set up your proxy profile**.

Fill in the details as follows:

<table data-header-hidden data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><code>Project name</code></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Protocol</strong></td><td><code>HTTP</code>, <code>HTTPS</code>, or <code>SOCKS5</code></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Domain</strong></td><td><code>disp.oxylabs.io</code> </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Port</strong></td><td><code>8001</code></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Username</strong></td><td><code>user-USERNAME</code></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Password</strong></td><td><code>PASSWORD</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="success" %}
The port number indicates which IP address from your acquired [proxy list](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-list) will be used. Use port `8000` for automatic [proxy IP rotation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-rotation).
{% endhint %}

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

{% step %}

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

That's it. You're now using Dedicated ISP Proxies.

### Geo-location settings

When using static ports (e.g., `8001`, `8002`, etc.), you directly connect to an IP address located in a specifc country. Check your [proxy list](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-list) to see the available locations.

When using [proxy rotation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-rotation) (port `8000`), to rotate IPs from a specific country, use a modified username format. For example, to connect to US-based proxies, enter your username as `user-USERNAME-country-US`.

### Static sessions

You can also use the same proxy IP address for multiple requests. Port `8000` always rotates through your proxy list, while connecting through port `8001` uses the IP assigned to this port. To switch IPs, change the port to `8002`, `8003`, etc. You can find the assigned port numbers in your [proxy list](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-list).

### Global bypass list

If you don't want to use proxies when accessing specific websites, you can add them to the bypass list. Open the extension, click **Manage proxies**, and then open the **Global Bypass List**.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://63892162-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzrXw45naRpCZ0Ku9AjY1%2Fuploads%2FcMaIWJaete3DEUfErIuw%2Foxy-extension-7.png?alt=media&#x26;token=21534bf2-b742-4232-859b-eaf4c335441f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For example, if you want to skip using proxies for `https://ip.oxylabs.io/`, you should enter the address like this: `https://ip.oxylabs.io` or `ip.oxylabs.io`. Once you visit this site, you should see your regular IP address instead of a proxy IP.

{% hint style="warning" %}
After saving the changes, disconnect and reconnect the proxy to enable the bypass list.

### Common errors

Use the troubleshooting steps outlined below to fix common extension errors when using Oxylabs or other providers' proxies.

Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies, acquired via self-service, **require you to append** the `user-` string to your proxy user's username. For example, if your username is `john_TFTdL`, then you must enter your username as `user-john_TFTdL`.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Invalid proxy domain or port</summary>

Make sure you're using a valid proxy domain and port number **as assigned by your proxy provider**.

A valid domain address for Oxylabs Dedicated ISP Proxies (purchased via self-service) is `disp.oxylabs.io` and port `8000`. See the full list of valid ports in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/). You can check the [documentation of ISP Proxies](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-list) to learn more.
