Today, we will take a detailed look at an important topic — the use of proxy servers in ZennoPoster for automating various tasks. We will break down not only the basic concepts of proxy server operation but also delve into the specifics of their configuration and application within the context of automation. We will explore different types of proxy servers, their features, and optimal use cases for various tasks.
After studying this detailed instruction, you will have all the necessary information to effectively use proxies in your projects: from basic setup to advanced application techniques. You will learn how to use proxies to manage network access and ensure a stable, uninterrupted connection, as well as how to create reliable automated processes in ZennoPoster.
In this guide, we will use the English version of the program, as it is the international standard and the most widely used in the professional community. However, it is important to note that for your convenience, various interface languages are available in the program settings.
What kind of proxy is needed for ZennoPoster?
Before opening ProjectMaker, you need to decide on the “fuel” for your template. Simply “buying a proxy” is not enough. You need to understand the difference between IP types.
1. Mobile Proxies (For marketing tasks) If your template is designed for managing corporate accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Google) or automating routine digital marketing tasks — you need Mobile Proxies (4G/5G).
- Why: Mobile IPs provide a connection with a high level of trust thanks to CGNAT technology, ensuring stable interaction with social platforms.
- ZennoPoster Nuance: You will need the IP rotation function. In the template, you will need to add a GET request to change the IP via a link (API) so that each new thread works from a clean address.
2. Residential Proxies (For corporate tasks) If you are writing a template for e-commerce management, market research on Amazon/eBay, or working with payment systems — choose Residential Proxies.
- Why: These are the IPs of real home users. They have maximum trust.
- ZennoPoster Nuance: Use them in static mode to maintain a constant connection profile and ensure secure, uninterrupted sessions.
3. Datacenter Proxies (For parsing) If the task is to collect data from thousands of pages (scraping), cheap Datacenter IPv4 or IPv6 will do.
- Why: Speed and low price. Trust is not important here.
How to buy a proxy
For reliable operation, use only proven services with positive reviews. Get the connection data for the proxy in the CyberYozh App. We have a separate guide explaining step-by-step how to do this.
Select a suitable proxy server and place an order. Important: use a separate proxy for each profile. We recommend purchasing private proxies.
Obtaining connection data
Fig. 1. Screenshot of the CyberYozh App platform interface, demonstrating the location of proxy server connection data. The image shows fields for IP address (Host), port (Port), username (Proxy Username), and password (Proxy Password).
After purchasing a proxy, you will receive 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
Step-by-step guide to setting up a proxy in ZennoPoster
Let's take a detailed look at the process of configuring proxy servers in ZennoPoster. The program supports working with three main types of proxy protocols, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages:
- HTTP — the basic protocol for working on the Internet, which is widely used for simple tasks and provides a standard level of security.
- SOCKS5 — a more versatile protocol with extended functionality, including UDP support.
- SSH — the most secure protocol with full data encryption, providing the highest level of security when transmitting information.
In our guide, we will focus on using the SOCKS5 protocol, as it represents the optimal balance between versatility and high performance. It is important to note that the setup steps described below will also apply to the configuration of HTTP and SSH protocols, making this guide universal for all proxy types.
Prepare the proxy list

- Create a text document (.txt) on your device.
- Enter all proxies in this format:
Free proxy:
IP:port
Proxy with authorization:
login:password@IP:port
