After creating your account, grab a subscription that suits your needs. We offer Pay per IP and Pay per GB, so you have plenty of subscription options.
Proxy authentication
If you’ve chosen the Pay per GB option, you can authenticate datacenter proxies using a pre-generated username:password.
For Pay per IP proxies, you can authenticate with credentials or by whitelisting your IP.

For Pay per GB or Pay per IP proxies, click on the username or password to copy it. You can change the password anytime, but the username can only be picked when creating a new user.
To delete a user, click the trash bin icon, then press Confirm delete. To create a new one, press Create user.
Authenticate by whitelisting IPs
For Pay per IP option, you can authenticate by whitelisting IPs. Go to the Whitelisted IPs tab and either add your current IP automatically or enter it manually.

Give your whitelisted IP a name and save it. Press the trash bin icon and then Confirm delete to remove the IP.
