Residential Proxies

Host: pr.oxylabs.io

Port: 7777

You can also use country-specific entries. For example, entering ca-pr.oxylabs.io under Host and 30000 under Port will acquire a Canadian exit node. Check our documentation for a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session.

Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via sales.

Host: 1.2.3.4 (a specific IP address)

Port: 60000

For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, choose an IP address from the acquired list.

Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via the dashboard.

Host: ddc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list.

Datacenter Proxies

Host: dc.oxylabs.io

Port: 8001

With the pay-per-IP subscription method, each port number corresponds to the order of IP addresses in your list. For example, port 8001 uses the first IP address. Please see our documentation for more information.

For the pay-per-traffic subscription, port 8001 will randomly select an IP address which will stay the same for the session. You can specify the proxy's geo-location in the user authentication string, such as user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD, which will connect to a US proxy. Check our documentation for further details.
