Our blog is PROXYS.IO

Proxys.io offers both datacenter and residential proxies (IP addresses) with support for HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocols. In each case you receive an IP address, an HTTP(S) port, a SOCKS5 port, and login/password for authentication. To use one of these proxies on Windows 10, you must configure the system or your applications to route traffic through the proxy’s IP and port. Below we cover system-wide configuration via Settings and command-line, as well as application-specific proxy setup (for browsers, etc.). We use a sample Proxys.io residential proxy (e.g. IP 10.0.0.6, port 8080) in examples.

Configuring Windows 10 System Proxy

Open the Windows Settings app (for example, click the Start menu and the gear icon or press Win+I). In Settings, go to Network & Internet and select Proxy from the left-hand menu. This opens the proxy configuration panel.

Residential proxies are intermediary servers that route your requests through real ISP-assigned IPs, making them appear as ordinary home users. Because the IPs come from real devices and locations, residential proxies offer high trust and anonymity. They can bypass geo-restrictions, CAPTCHAs and anti-bot blocks that often block datacenter IPs. In practice, residential proxies are ideal for tasks where you need to mimic normal user behavior – for example, scraping websites with strong anti-scraping defenses, monitoring search engine results, running social media or “sneaker” bots, and verifying online ads.

Selenium is a powerful browser automation tool for web testing and scraping. However, running numerous requests from a single machine often triggers IP blocks, CAPTCHAs, or geo-restrictions. Websites quickly flag repetitive requests from one IP as bot activity. Proxies act as intermediaries that mask your real IP address. By routing Selenium traffic through proxies, you can distribute requests across different IPs and locations. This helps bypass anti-scraping measures and regional blocks, and prevents hitting rate limits. In short, using proxies with Selenium makes your automation appear to come from many sources, reducing the chance of being detected or banned.

Vivaldi is a privacy-focused, feature-rich web browser based on Chromium. Using a proxy server with Vivaldi can enhance your privacy and allow you to manage multiple accounts without sharing the same IP address. Unlike Firefox, Vivaldi does not have a built-in proxy configuration menu – instead it relies on your operating system’s proxy settings or extensions. In this guide, we’ll explain three practical methods to use a proxy in Vivaldi, covering system-level proxy settings (for Windows, macOS, and Linux), command-line launch options, and browser extensions. We will also address all major proxy types (HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5) and provide step-by-step instructions with examples (using the format IP:Port:Login:Password as we provided).

DuckDuckGo is a popular privacy-focused search engine that doesn’t track your queries or personal data, making it a prominent alternative to Google. However, when you use DuckDuckGo (or any search engine), your IP address is still visible to the service by default. Using a proxy server can mask your IP, adding an extra layer of anonymity beyond DuckDuckGo’s built-in protections. Proxies are also crucial if you plan to automate queries or scrape search results on DuckDuckGo – the search engine has anti-bot measures, and a proxy helps avoid getting your IP blocked for high-volume requests. In this expert guide, we’ll explain how to use proxies with DuckDuckGo, including choosing the right type of DuckDuckGo proxy and configuring it on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. No fluff – just factual, step-by-step instructions.

Have you noticed that when you try to create a second, third, and subsequent accounts on one platform, you immediately get banned? This is normal. This situation happens in all popular social networks and advertising platforms. Users are prohibited from multi-accounting, compliance with the rules is closely monitored, and violators are banned.

In today's digital world, having a solid solution for multi-accounting is super important if you're managing multiple accounts in mobile apps. Apps have a knack for tracking all sorts of stuff, from your device info to your IP address. That's where an antidetect phone like GeeLark comes in super handy.

In this post, we’ll explore what GeeLark is and explain how to set up Proxys.io proxies in GeeLark.

Imagine: you run a parser to collect data on competitors' prices or find useful information to analyze. Everything goes well, until at some point the site blocks the requests and you lose access to the data. Or worse - you face legal trouble for violating the site's rules.

Parsing automates a routine: collecting data for business or analytics. For example:

• For marketers: monitoring prices, analyzing trends, or collecting reviews.
• For analysts: data for reports and forecasts.
• For developers: creating databases.
