Using your ISP or datacenter IPs

Updated 2 min read

Short version: every IP you rent has its own host and port, plus a username and password. Find them under Proxies, copy one, or export the whole lot in the format your tool wants.

One IP

  1. Open Proxies, then ISP or Datacenter.
  2. Click the proxy. The Connection card shows the Endpoint, the port it speaks on, and the Username and Password, with copy buttons.
  3. Formatted gives you the whole line. Copy in a different format switches between HOST:PORT:USER:PASS, HOST:PORT@USER:PASS, USER:PASS:HOST:PORT and USER:PASS@HOST:PORT.

The detail page also has ready-made Integration examples for cURL, Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Java and C#.

All of them at once

  1. On the ISP or Datacenter list, tick the proxies you want (or all of them).
  2. Click Export, pick a Format, and download as TXT or CSV. Copy puts the list on your clipboard instead.

Handy for antidetect browsers and scrapers that take a proxy list: one IP per profile or worker.

Test one

bash
curl -sS --proxy "http://HOST:PORT" --proxy-user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' https://api.ipify.org; echo

You should get the same IP every time you run it. That's the point of a static IP. More checks: Static IP: quick checks.

Or use Tools, Proxy checker in the dashboard to test all of them in one go.

Handy things on the proxy

  • Rename it, so you know which IP belongs to which job.
  • Generate a new password, where offered, if the credentials leaked. Anything using the old password stops connecting straight away.
  • Change protocol, where offered, if your tool needs another one. See HTTP or SOCKS5?.
  • IP allowlist to connect without a password from a fixed IP, where the plan allows it. See IP allowlist: skip the username and password.
  • Report an issue if the IP misbehaves. See My order or proxy isn't working.

The Expires column tells you when each IP's term ends. To keep one longer: Renewing ISP and datacenter IPs.
