**Step 4.** Fill in the setup fields as specified below:

{% hint style="warning" %}
When using proxies for a mobile network, the connection type can be `HTTP` only.
{% endhint %}

**Proxy:** `isp.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `8001`

{% hint style="info" %}
You will need to choose the port assigned to an IP address from the purchased [**proxy list**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/isp-proxies/proxy-list)**,** which you can find on Oxylabs' dashboard. The `8001` port will pick the first IP address from your list for all requests.
{% endhint %}

**Username**: `user-username`

**Password:** `password`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't forget to add the `user-` part to your username.
{% endhint %}
