**Step 5.** Under server settings, input your proxy details:

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

**Proxy 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.
