Proxies

Work with proxies

Add and test proxy endpoints, assign them to profiles in bulk, and match each profile's timezone and locale to its route.

Add endpoints

Add HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 endpoints to the proxy library, with credentials where the provider requires them. Any profile in the workspace can use an entry, so one endpoint can serve several profiles or exactly one.

Add, test and assign a proxy, step by step

Test one or all

Test one endpoint with the play button on its row. To test the whole library, tick the box at the top of the table, which selects every proxy, and choose Test. A test makes a real connection through the endpoint and reports the address it observed, which with a fixed proxy is the address sites will see. An endpoint that fails the test will fail inside a profile too, so test before you assign.

Assign to profiles in bulk

Tick a proxy on the Proxies page, choose Assign, and tick every profile that should use it. Or start from the Profiles page: select the profiles, open More actions, then Proxy, and choose Assign a proxy. Either way each profile receives its own copy of the endpoint and its password, in place of the proxy it had.

Match timezone and locale to the route

A profile whose address sits in one country while its clock sits in another is easy to notice. New profiles start with Timezone set to Based on IP, so after each successful check of the profile's own proxy, including the one PowerOps runs as the profile opens, the timezone follows the proxy's location, and the language does too where PowerOps knows the region. Choose Real or Custom on the Fingerprint tab to set the timezone yourself.

• Add, test and assign a proxySave a proxy once in your workspace's proxy library, test it, and assign it to the profiles that should use it. Each profile gets its own copy, and PowerOps checks it again when the profile opens.Next guide
