Once you have your proxy credentials from the dashboard, use any of these examples to make your first request.

Your proxy format

Your proxies follow this format:
host:port:username:password
For example: 192.168.1.1:3128:myuser:mypass

Code examples

import requests

proxies = {
    "http": "http://myuser:mypass@192.168.1.1:3128",
    "https": "http://myuser:mypass@192.168.1.1:3128"
}

response = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/ip", proxies=proxies)
print(response.json())
# {"origin": "192.168.1.1"}

Verifying your connection

After running any of the examples above, the response should show your proxy IP address, not your real IP. If you see your real IP, double-check:
  1. The proxy host and port are correct
  2. Your username and password are correct
  3. You’re using the right protocol (http:// prefix)
Replace 192.168.1.1:3128:myuser:mypass with your actual proxy credentials from the dashboard.

Using SOCKS5

All Stat Proxies support SOCKS5. Simply change the protocol:
curl --socks5 myuser:mypass@192.168.1.1:3128 https://httpbin.org/ip
