Proxifier
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.
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.
Enable proxies for a specific application
Go to Proxification Rules and Add a new rule.
Browse for an application (locate an .exe file) and select your newly added proxy as an Action.
You can rearrange the proxification rule priority from top to bottom.
This guide is also available for Residential Proxies, ISP Proxies, Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, and Self-service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies.
