Configuring a proxy in PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster is a powerful cloud-based data extraction and automation tool that enables organizations to optimize and significantly simplify their sales and marketing operations. The platform specializes in gathering information from various sources and allows companies to effectively manage their business processes without the need to write complex code.

The importance of configuring PhantomBuster proxies for effective performance and account security cannot be overstated. Using reliable proxy servers helps avoid being blocked by target platforms such as LinkedIn or Instagram and ensures the stability of automated processes. Properly configured proxies also significantly reduce the risk of access restrictions to your profiles, protecting your business accounts from suspicious activity. In addition, they allow you to bypass geographic restrictions and work with data from different regions, which is especially important for international companies.

In this detailed guide, we will take a closer look at the process of setting up a private proxy in the PhantomBuster system, including all the necessary steps, technical parameters, and recommendations for optimal performance. You will learn how to choose and integrate a proxy server correctly to ensure maximum efficiency of your automated processes and protect your accounts from potential restrictions.

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

It is important to note that the protocol must be **HTTP**, not HTTPS or SOCKS. This is a critical setting, as PhantomBuster is optimized to work with HTTP proxies. Using the wrong protocol may result in automated processes malfunctioning and connection failures.

After entering the data, save the changes. If necessary, add several proxies to one pool.
