Close the window to save settings.

You can also use country-specific entries. For example, if you put us-pr.oxylabs.io under Proxy IP or hostname and 10000 under Proxy Port, you will receive a US exit node.

For a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session, please refer to our documentation.

For those who want to use Datacenter Proxies , the process is the same except for a few minor changes in the information that has to be filled in. Choose Http for Upstream Proxy Type.
