Quickstart

Four steps from an account to a verified request. Placeholders in capitals are replaced with the values your dashboard shows for your product.

  1. Create an account and configure the product you need at app.proxy-labs.io.
  2. Copy your gateway details. Host, port, username and password are listed against each product in the dashboard. Treat them as secrets.
  3. Confirm the connection with curl before you write any code.
  4. Integrate with the client you already use, then run the measurement harness on your real targets.
terminal
curl -x http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@GATEWAY_HOST:PORT https://httpbin.org/ip

The reply shows the address your request exited from. Run it twice on a rotating product and the addresses should differ.

Integrations

Working code for curl, Python, Node.js, Playwright, Puppeteer, Scrapy and Selenium.
