Setting Up Your Proxidize Proxies

How to find your proxy credentials and connect Proxidize proxies on mobile (Happ), desktop (extension or anti-detect browser), and in automation tools.

Once you have an active plan, connecting your proxies takes just a few minutes. This guide shows you where to find your credentials and the best way to connect them on any device.

Find your proxies and copy your credentials

All of your proxies ( Mobile, Residential, and Proxy Builder (Legacy) ) live in one place: your dashboard at app.proxidize.com. Open the product you purchased to see its proxies.

Getting your proxy takes just a click. The exact spot depends on your plan. Either way, proxies are copied in one of two formats:

IP:Port:Username:Password
Username:Password@IP:Port

On the Per Proxy plan: next to each proxy you'll see a copy button for each protocol, HTTP and SOCKS5. Press the copy button for the protocol you want, and the full proxy is copied to your clipboard in your chosen format. No manual assembly needed.

Credentials are generated automatically and don't change when your IP rotates, so you never need to update your tools after a rotation.

On Per GB plans: all of your proxies are listed together under the Formatted Proxy List section of the dashboard. Open it to see every proxy in one place, pick your protocol and format, and copy them individually or export them in bulk.

Authentication options:

Username / password: the default. Works in any proxy-compatible tool.
IP Whitelist: authenticate by your public IP instead of a username and password. Best for servers and automation. If your public IP changes, add the new one to your allowlist or access will stop.

Choose how to connect

The best connection method depends on your device.

I. On a phone or tablet (Android or iOS): use Happ

For mobile devices, we recommend Happ Proxy Utility. It tunnels all of your device's traffic through your Proxidize proxy, so every app uses the proxy without per-app configuration.

iOS: Happ Proxy Utility on the App Store
Android: Happ Proxy Utility on Google Play

Install Happ, add your proxy credentials, and enable the connection to route your device through the proxy.

For using your proxies with your smartphone, please use the SOCKS protocol as HTTP is only used for web-surfing.

II. On a desktop (PC or Mac)

You have two recommended options:

Option A: Proxidize Proxy Extension. A lightweight browser extension that lets you connect to a proxy in one click, switch between proxies, and test them, without changing your system settings. Best for quick setups and testing.

Option B: an anti-detect browser. If you manage multiple accounts or need separate browser profiles, use an anti-detect browser such as Linken Sphere, Kameleo, or Multilogin. Each profile gets its own proxy, keeping identities cleanly separated. Add your Proxidize credentials to each profile's proxy settings.

III. In scripts and automation tools

Proxidize proxies work with any proxy-compatible tool, including Python Requests, Playwright, Puppeteer, Scrapy, Selenium, and more. Use the format most tools expect:

http://username:password@hostname:port

The exact input format varies by tool, check that tool's own documentation.

Test your connection

Before running a full workflow, confirm the proxy works. You can:

Use the Proxidize Proxy Extension to connect and view the egress IP, or
Run a quick command-line check:

curl -x http://username:password@hostname:port https://api.ipify.org

If the returned IP is different than your local IP, you're connected.

Troubleshooting

If a proxy won't connect, first re-check the username, password, protocol, and port. Then rotate the proxy (Per Proxy) or switch the session key or Access Point (Per GB), and test again with a curl request to isolate whether the issue is the tool or the proxy.
