Verification

Verify your identity or your business to unlock access to your Proxidize proxies.

After you buy a proxy plan, you need to verify who you are before you can use your proxies.

There are two routes, and you only need one of them.

Open your verification settings

Choose your route

Know Your Customer, or KYC: confirms your identity as an individual.

It unlocks access to your proxies, and you have about 30 minutes to finish once you start.

Know Your Business, or KYB: confirms your company's registration and ownership.

It unlocks access to your proxies plus an increased thread limit, and you have up to 12 hours to finish once you start.

KYB is the higher level of verification and already includes everything KYC gives you.

If you complete KYB, you do not need KYC as well.

Who can verify

Only the account administrator can start KYB. However, A member can complete KYC on the account.

Members see the Verify button on the Know Your Business card greyed out, with a tooltip explaining that business verification is arranged by the account administrator.

What you provide

Both routes ask for the same two things before you continue.

• Target domains: are every domain you intend to access with your proxies.

• Why these domains is your use case, described in as much detail as you can give.

Your answers are what your verification is reviewed against, so vague or incomplete answers can delay or fail it.

---

What never changes

These rules apply to every customer, whether you are verified or not.

• Only ports 80 and 443 are available.

• Adult-content websites are blocked.

• Survey-for-money websites are blocked.

• Government websites with .gov domains are blocked.

• Military websites with .mil domains are blocked.

Neither KYC nor KYB lifts any of these.

Separately from that list, KYB may open access to financial services, HR and recruitment, and consumer-review websites.

Quick FAQ

Do I have to verify?

Yes.

You cannot access your proxies until your verification is approved.

Which route should I pick?

Pick KYC if you are buying as an individual.

Pick KYB if you are buying as a company and you want the increased thread limit or access to more websites.

Can I complete KYC now and KYB later?

Yes, if you are the account administrator.

It does not work the other way round, because KYB already includes everything KYC grants.

Can KYC or KYB open other ports?

No.

Only ports 80 and 443 are available.
