Proxies Protocols

HTTP

Our documentation includes code examples showcasing how to connect to the proxies using HTTP protocol. The protocol is supported by common libraries and third-party software.

SOCKS5

For using SOCKS5 protocol, you have to add socks5h in your request, for example:

curl -x socks5h://proxy.hideiqxshlgvjk.com:5050 -U "USERNAME-type-residential-location-FR:PASSWORD" ipinfo.io

Please note that at the moment, SOCKS5 protocol does not support country specific entry nodes. You can target specific locations by adding additional parameters in your username. Here is a sample of targeting France:

curl -x socks5h://proxy.hideiqxshlgvjk.com:5050 -U "USERNAME-type-residential-location-FR:PASSWORD" ipinfo.io
