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 — real U.S. mobile carrier IPs. Best for account management, social media, and ad verification. United States only.

  • Residential Proxies — real home 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 per-account workflows.

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

  • Residential is Per GB only.

Learn how the plans differ in Mobile Proxies and Residential Proxies.

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.

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.
