Get IP Address for Integrations

When configuring a proxy, you'll need to enter either an IP address or hostname. If your third-party software requires a specific IP address, we recommend resolving the hostname to its IP address.

Using Residential or Mobile Proxies

  1. Open a terminal on your computer

  2. Enter the command: ping pr.oxylabs.io

  3. The system will provide you with the IP address to input into the third-party tool

Dynamic IPs may change over time. If your connection fails, obtain a new IP using the same process. For more reliability, use tools that accept hostnames instead of IPs - they automatically connect to the optimal server.

Using ISP, Datacenter, or Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

We offer pay-per-IP products that connect via hostname and port only. Direct IP connections are not supported. The IP addresses shown in your dashboard are for reference only. For best results, please use third-party tools that support hostname and port connections.

However, if your third party software requires a specific address, we recommend resolving this as follows:

  1. Open terminal on your computer

  2. Enter the command based on product you're using: ping isp.oxylabs.io (for ISP) ping dc.oxylabs.io (for Datacenter) ping ddc.oxylabs.io(for Dedicated Datacenter)

  3. The system will provide you with the IP address to input into the third-party tool

  4. Additionally, add assigned port number to target specific IP from your proxy list

This workaround has limitations: service may become unavailable during maintenance and IPs may change without notice. If your proxies stop working, ping the hostname to get a new IP address or switch to a tool that supports hostnames.
