🌐 Proxy Setup

Route traffic through proxy servers


💡 Do You Need a Proxy?

Most users DON'T need proxies. Only use if:

  • You run many accounts from same IP
  • You want geographic flexibility
  • Your IP is already flagged

Otherwise, skip this guide.


Quick Start

Per-Account Proxy

Edit src/accounts.json:

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "email": "your@email.com",
      "password": "password",
      "proxy": {
        "proxyAxios": true,
        "url": "proxy.example.com",
        "port": 8080,
        "username": "proxyuser",
        "password": "proxypass"
      }
    }
  ]
}

That's it! Script uses proxy for this account only.


🎯 Proxy Types

HTTP Proxy (Most Common)

{
  "proxy": {
    "proxyAxios": true,
    "url": "http://proxy.example.com",
    "port": 8080,
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass"
  }
}

SOCKS5 Proxy

{
  "proxy": {
    "proxyAxios": true,
    "url": "socks5://proxy.example.com",
    "port": 1080,
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass"
  }
}

Residential Proxies (Best)

  • Bright Data — Premium quality, expensive
  • Smartproxy — User-friendly
  • Oxylabs — Enterprise-grade

Datacenter Proxies (Cheaper)

  • SquidProxies — Reliable
  • MyPrivateProxy — Dedicated IPs

⚠️ Avoid free proxies — Unreliable and often blocked.


🛠️ Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
"Connection refused" Check proxy URL and port
"407 Auth required" Verify username/password
"Timeout" Try different proxy server
"SSL error" Use HTTP instead of HTTPS

Test Proxy Manually

# Windows (PowerShell)
curl --proxy http://user:pass@proxy.com:8080 http://httpbin.org/ip

# Linux/macOS
curl --proxy http://user:pass@proxy.com:8080 http://httpbin.org/ip
