Learn how to use HighProxies with clear instructions for HTTP proxies, SOCKS5 proxies, antidetect browsers, browser extensions, desktop applications, API access and IKEv2 VPN connections.
Begin with the guide that matches the protocol or service shown in your HighProxies control panel. Do not guess the proxy type: an HTTP proxy must be configured as HTTP, while a SOCKS5 service must be configured as SOCKS5.
Learn the standard host, port and authentication format used to configure a HighProxies HTTP proxy in compatible software and operating systems.
Configure a SOCKS5 proxy correctly, understand remote DNS handling and test the connection before adding it to an application.
Set up an IKEv2 VPN connection using the server address and credentials assigned to your HighProxies VPN service.
After completing any setup, open the IP checker inside the configured browser or application and confirm that it displays the assigned proxy or VPN address.
HTTP proxy and HTTPS websites: select HTTP when your HighProxies service is supplied as an HTTP proxy. The same proxy can still access HTTPS websites through the standard CONNECT method.
Use a separate browser profile for each assigned proxy and verify the external IP from inside that profile after saving the configuration.
Add a HighProxies HTTP proxy to AdsPower, test the proxy, assign it to a browser profile and verify the resulting IP address.
Select SOCKS5, enter the assigned endpoint and credentials, run the built-in connection test and launch the configured profile.
Create or edit an ixBrowser profile, add the SOCKS5 connection details and confirm that the profile uses the assigned proxy IP.
Connect a Linken Sphere profile to a HighProxies SOCKS5 endpoint and test the proxy before using the browser session.
Keep profiles consistent: the browser profile timezone, language and location settings should match the proxy location whenever the software offers those controls.
These guides cover browser extensions, proxy-routing software and automatic proxy switching. Choose an application that supports the protocol assigned to your service.
Add HighProxies to WonderSwitcher in Firefox or Chrome and switch between saved proxy connections from the browser toolbar.
Create a FoxyProxy profile in Chrome or Firefox using the assigned proxy host, port and authentication details.
Route selected applications or broader system traffic through a HighProxies connection on Windows or macOS.
Configure automatic proxy switching for Firefox private browsing and reduce the need to edit network settings manually.
Browser-wide versus system-wide: extensions normally affect only the browser in which they are installed. Proxifier can route supported desktop applications according to the rules you create.
Follow the platform-specific instructions to add the assigned IKEv2 server and account credentials to a supported device.
Set up DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS and understand where encrypted DNS fits alongside proxy and VPN connections.
Learn how local and remote DNS resolution differ and choose the correct cURL proxy option for your intended setup.
Compare the protocol differences before choosing a proxy type for a browser, automation tool or desktop application.
Review the available API endpoints and integration details for supported account, service and proxy-management workflows.
Replace the placeholders with the host, port and credentials assigned to your service:
curl --show-error --max-time 15 --proxy 'http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXY_IP:PORT' 'https://api.ipify.org'Use socks5h:// when the proxy should resolve the destination hostname:
curl --show-error --max-time 15 --proxy 'socks5h://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXY_IP:PORT' 'https://api.ipify.org'Compare the cURL output or application result with the proxy address displayed in your HighProxies control panel.
An HTTP 407 response means the application reached an HTTP proxy but did not supply acceptable authentication. If you intended to use SOCKS5, first confirm that the application is not configured in HTTP mode.
Protect your credentials: hide the proxy password before posting screenshots publicly. Send sensitive details only through the authenticated HighProxies support system.
Open the HighProxies proxy control panel and use the IP address, port, username and password assigned to the active service. Copy the values exactly as displayed.
Select the protocol assigned to the service. HighProxies HTTP proxies should be configured as HTTP, including when accessing HTTPS websites. Select SOCKS5 only for a SOCKS5-compatible service.
Yes, when the service and application support it. Authorise your current public IP in the proxy control panel, then leave the username and password fields empty.
Open the HighProxies IP checker from inside the configured browser profile or application. The displayed IP and country should match the assigned proxy rather than your normal internet connection.
The browser may have the wrong protocol selected, unsupported authentication, a conflicting extension or an old proxy assigned to the profile. Recheck the application configuration and relaunch it. For SOCKS5, follow the complete SOCKS5 setup instructions.
Technically this depends on the application and service limits, but separate proxies are generally preferable when browser profiles must remain independently identified.
Choose the guide matching your protocol and application, copy the assigned connection details, complete the setup and verify the external IP before beginning regular use.
