Protocols
HTTP
Our documentation includes code examples showcasing how to connect to the proxies using HTTP
protocol. The protocol is supported by common libraries and third-party software.
HTTPS
You can also use the fully encrypted connection using HTTPS
protocol for an extra layer of security. For that, you have to add https://
to your proxy entry point. For example: https://pr.oxylabs.io:7777
(this also applies to country specific entry nodes).
Please note that some libraries (or their older versions) and some 3rd party tools may not support HTTPS
protocol, so double-check before making changes to your code.
SOCKS5
Oxylabs Residential Proxies support only TCP
connection at the moment.
For using SOCKS5
protocol, you have to add socks5h
in your request, for example:
Please note that at the moment, SOCKS5
protocol does not support country specific entry nodes. You can target specific locations by adding additional parameters in your username. Here is a sample of targeting France:
Note that some websites may identify a proxy IP when using theSOCKS5
protocol. We highly suggest switching to an alternative protocol in such instances.
Ports of proxies
The default configuration of proxy ports includes 80
and 443
, which are standard ports designed to accommodate the HTTP
and HTTPS
protocols, as outlined in the table below. To access other ports, it is necessary to undergo compliance verification, please contact our support.
