Connect your tool
Use the generated example or enter your proxy details into an existing application.
First generate a live connection. Under Ready to connect, open Connection details and click Reveal credentials. Then open Code examples and choose your tool’s tab to view and copy the complete example.
Generated examples may use the website you entered during onboarding. Check the destination before running an example.
Choose your setup
| Tool | What to use |
|---|---|
| cURL | The cURL tab provides the proxy option and destination URL |
| Python | The Python tab uses requests; follow its install note, including SOCKS support when selected |
| Playwright | Select HTTP / HTTPS, then use the Playwright tab with separate server, username and password values |
| n8n | Use an HTTP Request node and its Proxy option, as shown in the n8n tab |
| Another browser or application | Enter Host, Port, Username and Password in its proxy settings |
For an application with separate fields, copy the Host by itself, without the protocol or port. Enter the Port in its own field and use the generated proxy credentials. For a single proxy URL field, use Copy connection.
Confirm your tool is using the proxy
First request https://api.ipify.org?format=json with the proxy turned off and note the ip value. Enable the proxy and repeat the request. A different IP is a useful check that your route changed. If both values match, recheck whether your tool applied its proxy settings; a successful JSON response alone does not prove proxy use. Then test your intended website through the same setup.
The dashboard's Test connection runs from ProxyLane, so it cannot verify the settings inside your local tool. If that check passes but your tool fails, compare its protocol and all four connection fields with the latest generated result.
Treat copied examples and connection URLs as secrets. Keep credentials out of shared workflows, screenshots and source repositories.
If you get stuck, email support with the tool name, version and error text. Use troubleshooting to narrow down the failing step first.
Send the error message and your tool name. Leave out passwords and connection credentials.
