Add a new proxy

Select the Proxies tab and click Add Proxy.

Enter proxy details

Enter the proxy title and choose a proxy protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5)

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

Host: dc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

Login: user-username

Password: password

Pay-per-IP subscription

The port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the proxy list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. You may also enable proxy IP rotation by setting the port to 8000.

Furthermore, you can specify the geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.

Pay-per-traffic subscription

Port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. Alternatively, you can rotate proxy IPs with each request by using port 8000.

You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.

Testing

To check proxy functionality, click Check Proxy.

If the test is successful, you’ll see an active proxy IP address.

Finally, Confirm your new proxy. You can add as many proxies as you like and pair or unpair them with different profiles.

Go to the Profiles tab and select Create Profile.

There, enter your Profile name, and select a proxy you just added.

If required, adjust your profile with a custom browser fingerprint, including user agents, cookies, and hardware and software parameters.

To finish the profile, click Create Profile at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Run new profile

Press ▶(Start) on your profile in the profile section to launch a private browser and carry on with your tasks.
