**Step 5.** Enter the details:

**Address:** `dc.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `8001`&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://63892162-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzrXw45naRpCZ0Ku9AjY1%2Fuploads%2FMvulKauzfQggBIx6Xv7t%2Fshadowrocket_dc_details1.png?alt=media&#x26;token=41ed18fa-0f63-414c-9c29-91d8559b286a" alt="" width="356"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**For the Pay-per-IP subscription:** the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the given list. Thus, port `8001` uses the first IP address from your list.

**For the Pay-per-traffic subscription:** port `8001` picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, within the user authentication string: `user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD`. Check [country parameter](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country) for more details.
{% endhint %}

**User:** `user-username`

**Password:** `password`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to add the `user-` part to your username.
{% endhint %}

Afterward, go back to the previous screen by pressing an arrow in the top-left corner.

**Step 6.** Turn on the proxy by activating a toggle under **Not Connected**.
