Setup guide

Each proxy is a dedicated Australian mobile connection: one SIM, used only by you. This page covers getting it into your tools, changing IPs, and fixing the usual problems.

1. Your connection details

On your dashboard, click Copy on a proxy. The default format is host:port:username:password. Use Copy as (top right) to switch to the format your tool expects, e.g. http://user:pass@host:port or socks5://user:pass@host:port.

HTTP and SOCKS5 both work on the same port. If your tool asks, either is fine; SOCKS5 suits apps that aren't web browsers.

2. Adding it to a browser profile or app

Most anti-detect browsers, automation tools and proxy extensions have the same four boxes:

1. Proxy type: HTTP (or SOCKS5).
2. Host: the part before the first colon, e.g. 103.249.239.79.
3. Port: the number after it, e.g. 20001.
4. Username and password: the last two parts.

Many tools have a Paste or Import box that accepts the whole line at once. Then use the tool's Check proxy button: it should show an Australian mobile carrier (e.g. Optus, Telstra or Vodafone).

Quick test from a terminal (Windows PowerShell uses curl.exe):
curl -x http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT https://ipinfo.io/json

3. Getting a new IP

• New IP on the dashboard reconnects the SIM to the mobile network. It takes 10 to 30 seconds; connections drop briefly while it happens.
• Automatic new IP does the same on a schedule (every 5 minutes up to every 24 hours). Leave it on Off if you want to keep one IP for a long session.
• Mobile networks share a pool of addresses, so occasionally a reconnect hands back the same IP. Press New IP again if you need a different one.
• Your username, password and port never change when the IP changes.

4. Keeping your setup consistent

Websites compare your IP with what your browser says about itself. For a clean, consistent session:

• Turn off WebRTC leaks. Browsers can reveal your home IP through WebRTC even when a proxy is set. Anti-detect browsers have a setting for this; in a normal browser use a WebRTC-blocking extension.
• Match the location. Set the profile's timezone to an Australian one (e.g. Australia/Sydney) and the language to English (Australia), or let your tool set them from the proxy's IP.
• Use one proxy per profile. Don't switch the same profile between the proxy and your home connection.
• Check DNS. In apps with the option, choose to resolve DNS through the proxy ("remote DNS").

5. Fixing common problems

• "407 Proxy Authentication Required": the username or password is wrong. Copy it again from the dashboard; if you pressed New password, older copies stop working.
• Timeouts or no connection: check the dot next to the proxy. Orange means the SIM is reconnecting; it usually recovers within a few minutes and restarts itself automatically if not. We're alerted too.
• Stopped working mid-month: look at the data bar. At 100% the proxy pauses until you Top up data or it renews.
• Payment didn't go through: your proxy keeps running for 2 days while we retry the card, then pauses. Update your card under Manage subscription and it switches straight back on.
• Test connection on the dashboard checks the proxy is reachable from our side.
