Proxifier

Route any Windows or macOS application through Datacenter Proxies with Proxifier. Force apps without native proxy support to enhance your privacy.

Proxifier is a universal proxy enabler for Windows, macOS, and Android that allows applications that don't natively support proxies to connect to the internet through a proxy server.

This guide will demonstrate how to set up Oxylabs' Datacenter Proxies with Proxifier.

Download Proxifier

Download and install Proxifier and make use of the 31-day free trial. On Windows, you can also get a portable version.

NOTE: Before adding proxies, disable VPNs, in-app proxy settings, or operating system proxy settings you might already have to avoid conflicting or double reroutes.

Add proxy

Go to Proxy Servers and Add a new proxy.

Enter proxy details

Specify the following if you purchased Datacenter Proxies and enable authentication:

Protocol: HTTPS or SOCKS5

Address: dc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

Username: user-USERNAME

Password: PASSWORD

Make sure to prepend user- to your username (e.g., user-john123).

Pay-per-IP subscription

The port corresponds to the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the provided list. Hence, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. To activate proxy IP rotation, set the port to 8000.

You can also define the desired geo-location, such as the US, by formatting the proxy username as follows: user-USERNAME-country-US.

Pay-per-traffic subscription

The port 8001 randomly selects an IP address but remains consistent throughout a session. Setting the port value to 8000 will turn on proxy IP rotation.

You can also specify geo-location, such as the US, in the username string: user-USERNAME-country-US.
