Quick Start with Proxidize Proxies

A step-by-step walkthrough from choosing a plan to getting your credentials, connecting, and testing your first Proxidize proxy.

This guide walks you from a new account to a working proxy, step by step. Each step links to a deeper guide if you want more detail.

1. Choose your product

---

First, decide whether you need Mobile or Residential proxies:

• Mobile Proxies: U.S. mobile IPs. Best for ad verification, SEO Monitoring or any workflows that need Mobile IPs. United States only.

• Residential Proxies: Premium residential ISP IPs across 195+ countries. Best for global scraping, monitoring, and geo-targeted work.

Not sure? See Choose Between Mobile and Residential Proxies.

2. Pick a plan

---

• Mobile comes as Per Proxy or Per GB.

  • Per Proxy gives you a dedicated proxy with full rotation controls. Best for when you need a more predictable cost and a known monthly expense instead of paying per GB where your bill may fluctuate

  • Per GB gives you usage-based access to the shared pool. Best for scale.

• Residential is Per GB only.

3. Create your account and subscribe

---

Create an account at app.proxidize.com, then subscribe to your chosen plan.

Proxies activate immediately after purchase.

If you need help buying, see Billing and Subscriptions.

4. Get your proxy credentials

---

All your proxies live in one dashboard at app.proxidize.com.

On Per Proxy, click the copy button next to your chosen protocol — HTTP or SOCKS5.

On Per GB, find your proxies in the Formatted Proxy List section.

Proxies come in one of these formats:

• IP:Port:Username:Password

• Username:Password@IP:Port

Credentials are generated automatically and stay valid even when the IP changes.

See Setting Up Your Proxidize Proxies for the full walkthrough.

5. Connect your proxy

---

Add your proxy to a browser, phone, script, or automation tool.

Proxy traffic can only reach destination ports 80 and 443.

The Setting Up Your Proxidize Proxies guide covers the main setup methods, including browser-based and tool-based workflows.

6. Test the connection

---

Confirm the proxy works by checking that the IP it returns matches your selected location.

The easiest option is the Proxidize Proxy Extension.

You can also run a quick command-line test.

Both methods are covered in Setting Up Your Proxidize Proxies.

7. Start small, then scale

---

Run a small test first. Start with a few requests from one location, and confirm everything works before increasing volume. This makes it easier to catch configuration issues early.

Need a hand?

If you access financial, HR, or transactional sites, or need non-standard ports, you may need to complete KYC Verification first.
