Shadowrocket

Shadowrocket is a freeware encryption protocol app for secure and anonymous online browsing.

To use our Datacenter Proxies with Shadowrocket, follow the instructions below:

iOS

Step 1. Download and open the Shadowrocket app.

Step 2. Click Add Server.

Step 3. In the following window, click on Type.

Step 4. Choose HTTP and go back to the previous screen.

Step 5. Enter the details:

Address: dc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

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.

You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, within the user authentication string: user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD. Check our documentation for more details.

User: user-username

Password: password

Make sure to add the user- part to your username.

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

Please note that the screenshots provided in this guide depict the setup process using Residential Proxies for illustrative purposes, refer to the specific guidelines for Datacenter Proxies provided in the text.

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

Step 7. If that is your first time using Shadowrocket, you will get an iOS prompt to add Shadowrocket to VPN configurations. Click Allow. You will need to enter your iPhone passcode to confirm.

Step 8. That is it. A toggle is now active, and you can start using our proxies.

Step 9. You can test if the proxy is working by visiting ip.oxylabs.io.

Android

Step 1. Download the app and install it.

Step 4. Enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials: username and password.

Don't forget to add the user- part to your username.

Step 5. After confirming your proxy setup, select the paper plane icon to connect to a proxy. Make sure the connection is successful, and you see a confirmation showing latency (ms).

You are all set. All of your internet traffic is now rerouted through a proxy server.
