{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter proxy details

Enter the proxy title and choose a proxy protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or [SOCKS5](https://oxylabs.io/products/socks5-proxies))

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](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/):

**Host:** `dc.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `8001`

**Login:** `user-username`

**Password:** `password`

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Don't forget to add `user-` prefix to your username.
{% endhint %}

**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`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Testing

To check proxy functionality, click **Check Proxy**.

If the test is successful, you’ll see an active proxy IP address.&#x20;

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

### Create a browser profile
