  [How we source and check IPs](https://proxylane.dev/about#trust-center)

 

## Quick answer

 

To add proxies to a sneaker bot, **copy the list in `ip:port:user:pass` format**, one proxy per line, and paste it into the bot as a named proxy group. Then pick that group in each task so **every task gets its own proxy**.

 

Test the group against the target site inside the bot, then run one real task. A passing tester only proves the proxy connects; it does not prove checkout will work.

## What you need

 

- **A running bot.** This guide covers Valor AIO and NSB step by step, based on their current documentation, and the general pattern for other bots.
 
- **A proxy list** in `ip:port:user:pass` format. Static ISP IPs suit Nike, footsites and Pokémon Center; see  [which proxy type to use](https://proxylane.dev/blog/best-proxies-for-sneaker-bots)  if you are unsure.
 
- **One proxy per task.** Ten tasks need ten lines. Valor's Pokémon Center guide advises not running more than one task per proxy.

 

Run the bot close to the proxies. NSB suggests picking proxies near your server, or near New York or Chicago if you run from home.

 

## Copy the list from ProxyLane

 

ProxyLane exports Native ISP orders in the exact format both bots expect.

 

1. Open **Dashboard → ISP Proxies** and find your order.
 
1. Click **View** on the order.
 
1. Set **Protocol** to **HTTP/HTTPS**.
 
1. Set **Format** to **ip:port:user:pass**.
 
1. Click **Copy**, or **.txt** to download the list as a file.

 

The copied text includes the full passwords even while the preview hides them. The list looks like this (example addresses):

 

```text
203.0.113.24:8000:pl_7f3a:Xk2v9QeL
203.0.113.87:8000:pl_7f3a:Xk2v9QeL
198.51.100.15:8000:pl_7f3a:Xk2v9QeL
```

 

Keep the file private. Anyone with these lines can use your IPs until you change the order.

 

## Valor AIO

 

Valor groups proxies into named lists and lets each task pick one. The steps below follow Valor's proxies guide.

 

1. Click **Proxies** in the top navigation.
 
1. Click the blue **Add** icon and give the group a name, for example `nike-us-isp`.
 
1. Paste the list into the text area, **each proxy on a new line**, in `ip:port:user:pass` format.
 
1. Click **Save List**. The proxies appear in the proxy table.
 
1. To test, choose the site from the dropdown and click **Test All**, or test one proxy with its action button.
 
1. In each task, pick the group in the **Proxy Group (optional)** field.

 

Valor also has **Import** and **Export** buttons for one group or all groups, which helps when you move the bot to a new server.

 

**Read the tester result carefully.** Valor's guide says testing only shows whether the proxies can connect to the selected site, not whether they are good for checkout. For Pokémon Center it recommends ISP proxies and one task per proxy.

 

## NSB

 

NSB calls them proxy lists and accepts **`IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD` or `IP:PORT`** in that exact format. The steps follow NSB's proxies and tasks guides.

 

1. Open the **Proxies** tab in the left menu.
 
1. Press **+** at the top left to add a proxy list.
 
1. Name the list, paste the proxies and press **Submit**.
 
1. Click **Latency Check** at the top right, pick the site from the dropdown and read the status and ping for each proxy.
 
1. When you create a task, choose the list at the step **Select Billing Profile & Proxy List**.

 

NSB notes that **you can't import proxies from other bots**, so paste the raw list rather than an export file from another tool. Its FAQ recommends ISPs for Nike and residential mainly for Shopify sites with bot protection.

 

## Other bots

 

Cybersole, Wrath, Kodai and most other retail bots follow the same pattern, but their current proxy docs sit behind the customer dashboard, so we could not check their exact screens. The steps are usually:

 

1. Find the **proxy** or **proxy list** section and create a new group.
 
1. Paste the list in `ip:port:user:pass` format, one per line.
 
1. Run the bot's proxy tester against the target site.
 
1. Assign the group to tasks so each task takes its own line.

 

If a bot rejects the list, check whether it wants `user:pass@ip:port` instead. ProxyLane's **Format** menu also exports `user:pass@ip:port` and `protocol://user:pass@ip:port`.

 

## Check the list outside the bot

 

A bot tester shows connection and ping. To also see **which country and provider each IP belongs to**, save the list as `proxies.txt` and run this from the bot's machine:

 

```python
import time

import requests

for line in open("proxies.txt"):
    host, port, user, password = line.strip().split(":")
    proxy = f"http://{user}:{password}@{host}:{port}"
    started = time.monotonic()
    info = requests.get(
        "https://ipinfo.io/json",
        proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy},
        timeout=15,
    ).json()
    ms = round((time.monotonic() - started) * 1000)
    print(host, info.get("country"), info.get("org"), f"{ms} ms")
```

 

**Accept a line** when it prints the country you ordered, an internet provider in `org` and a response time that fits your setup. For a single IP, cURL does the same job:

 

```bash
curl -x http://USER:PASS@203.0.113.24:8000 -w "\n%{time_total}s\n" https://ipinfo.io/json
```

 

Avoid pasting real passwords into shell history on shared machines.

 

## Fix common problems

 

| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `407` or "auth failed" | Wrong username or password, or a SOCKS5 list in an HTTP field | Copy the list again with **Protocol: HTTP/HTTPS** |
| Every proxy shows as bad | Wrong line format | Export as **ip:port:user:pass** and paste again |
| One site fails, others pass | That IP is banned on the site | Remove the line; on ProxyLane open a ticket for a free replacement |
| Task goes back to the queue | IP changed mid-queue, or two tasks share one IP | Use static ISP and one task per IP |
| High ping in the tester | Bot server is far from the IPs | Move the server closer to the proxy country |
