Quickstart: Your First Request

Create your account

Register at dashboard.proxio.net/register. You can sign up with email and password, an email magic link, or a Google, GitHub, or Discord account.

Buy a residential package

Click Buy proxy at the top of the sidebar, choose Residential, pick how much traffic you need, and pay with your wallet balance, card, or crypto. Package prices are listed at proxio.net/pricing. To pay from a balance, top up first under Billing → Wallet; the step-by-step top-up flow (card, crypto, and deposit bonuses) is in Wallet & Top-Up.

Copy your credentials

Open your new service from My proxies → Residential and stay on its Setup tab. The Connection details card shows your proxy username, password, and the gateway host and port (geo.proxio.cc:16666), next to Targeting and rotation and compact code examples.

For a quick copy without opening the service, use Quick connect on the Overview page: pick the service, a country, and a rotation type, then copy the line.

Send your first request

Route a request to https://ipinfo.io through the gateway. Pick your language, cURL first:

curl -x http://USERNAME:[email protected]:16666 https://ipinfo.io

# pip install requests
import requests

proxy = "http://USERNAME:[email protected]:16666"

resp = requests.get(
    "https://ipinfo.io",
    proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy},
)
print(resp.json())

// npm install axios https-proxy-agent
import axios from "axios"
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from "https-proxy-agent"

const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(
  "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@geo.proxio.cc:16666"
)

const { data } = await axios.get("https://ipinfo.io", {
  httpAgent: agent,
  httpsAgent: agent,
  proxy: false, // required: axios's own proxy handling silently bypasses the agent above
})
console.log(data)

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://ipinfo.io");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://geo.proxio.cc:16666");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "USERNAME:PASSWORD");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

echo curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Verify and add a country

The response from ipinfo.io shows the exit IP and its location. If it's a different IP from your own, your traffic is now flowing through Proxio.

To pin the exit to a specific country, append -region- and a country code to your username. For a US exit, your base username USERNAME becomes USERNAME-region-us:

curl -x "http://USERNAME-region-us:[email protected]:16666" https://ipinfo.io

Run it again and the reported country should now be the United States.
