Proxy settings in Vivaldi

Vivaldi, a browser known for its flexibility and extensive customization options, allows you to use proxy servers for anonymous and secure Internet surfing. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the process of configuring a proxy in Vivaldi.

Vivaldi is compatible with HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxy protocols when the system settings are configured accordingly or via the command line.

This guide will use the English version of the interface, as it is the most universal for technical documentation. You can set your preferred interface language in the browser settings.

## Preparation

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

- Vivaldi browser installed
- Proxy server details (IP address and port)
- If necessary, login and password for proxy authentication

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

On the <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/proxy" target="_blank">website</a>, select the <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/blog/how-to-choose-and-buy-proxies-on-app-cyberyozh" target="_blank">proxy type</a> that suits you, taking into account the following parameters:
• Proxy type: mobile or residential
• IP type: static or dynamic
• Geolocation: select a country or region
• Provider: make sure it meets your requirements

After purchasing a 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
- Login: 7XbvvWautzmOZMA
- Password: xdtAof3xB7RSmUr

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

Important: use the HTTP protocol instead of SOCKS5 to work with your 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 authorization

If the login and password entry window does not appear, try restarting your browser. In the window that appears, enter your username and password, then click “Sign in.”

### Completing the setup

After successfully authorizing 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.

Proxy settings in Vivaldi are configured through the operating system settings. This means that after applying these settings, the proxy will be used not only by the Vivaldi browser, but also by other applications that follow the system proxy settings.

Your Vivaldi browser is now working through a proxy server. If you have any questions or difficulties with the setup, please leave them in the comments. Don't forget to subscribe to our updates to receive new useful instructions on working with browsers and Internet technologies.
