Quickstart

This guide gets one Residential IPv4 request working. Datacenter IPv6 has its own connection host for the city you bought; copy it from that service rather than adapting the example below.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • A TrueProxies account
  • An active service, or the free trial

  1. Get a plan or the free trial

    Section titled “Get a plan or the free trial”

    Choose a plan from pricing or start a trial. Checkout confirms the final terms.

  2. Copy the issued connection details

    Section titled “Copy the issued connection details”

    Open your service in the dashboard, then open Username and password. Copy your username and proxy password, and the Connection host and ports shown there: HTTP 8080, HTTPS 8443, and SOCKS5 1080. The host differs between products, so copy it rather than reusing one from another service.

    YOUR_HOST, YOUR_HTTP_PORT and YOUR_SOCKS_PORT in the examples below are placeholders for those values.

  3. Make your first request

    Section titled “Make your first request”
    Terminal window
    curl -x http://YOUR_HOST:YOUR_HTTP_PORT \
      -U "your_username:your_password" \
      https://httpbin.org/ip

    Replace every placeholder with the exact dashboard value. Do not construct a Datacenter IPv6 endpoint from a Residential IPv4 host.

  4. Verify the response

    Section titled “Verify the response”

    The returned IP should differ from your direct public IP and match the address family and placement assigned to the product. Test representative destinations before increasing concurrency.
