Proxy

In this article, we will take a detailed look at how to properly configure a proxy and check that it is working. For your convenience, we have prepared these instructions based on the English version of the browser — this will help all users to easily follow the instructions. Don't worry about the interface language: you can always select your native language in the settings for maximum comfort.

### Obtaining data for connecting to a proxy on the CyberYozh app

Open the website and go to the page <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/proxy/" target="_blank">app.cyberyozh.com/proxy</a>

Selecting and configuring a proxy

Select a suitable proxy server and place your order. Important: use a separate proxy for each profile. We recommend purchasing <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/ru/blog/how-to-choose-and-buy-proxies-on-app-cyberyozh" target="_blank">private proxies</a>.

After purchasing the proxy, you will receive the connection information:

- Host: Proxy IP address
- Port: Proxy port
- Proxy Username: Login
- Proxy Password: Password

Proxy example:

Host: 172.98.60.180

Port: 58763

Password: xdtAof3xB7RSmUr

### Browser settings

We recommend launching your browser in incognito mode to prevent traces of previous sessions from being saved.

- **Address:** API address
- **Port:** connection port

Important: use the HTTP protocol instead of SOCKS5 to work with the browser. If the protocol is not specified in the settings, check with technical support after purchasing the proxy.

After entering the data, click the ‘Save’ button and return to the browser.

### Proxy authorisation

If the login and password entry window does not appear, try restarting the Opera browser. In the window that appears, enter your username and password, then click ‘Login’.

### Completing the setup

After successfully authorising the proxy server, you can check your access to Internet resources by making sure that the IP address matches the proxy. You can also check the geolocation of the proxy server and the speed of your Internet connection.
