SolisProxy residential proxies currently support password authentication and IP whitelist authentication. Choose the mode that matches the network where you will use the proxy.
1. Password authentication
The residential proxy page generates a connection username and connection password from your security credentials and selected routing options. These are proxy credentials, not your SolisProxy account login password.
How to extract a proxy:
- Open Dashboard > Proxy > Residential Proxy.
- Select Password Authentication.
- Choose the country, region or city, gateway, protocol, and IP rotation settings.
- Select the username, password, output format, separator, and quantity, then generate the connection information.
Typical output format:
gateway:port:connection_username:connection_passwordRecommended when:
- Your public IP changes or you use the proxy from multiple networks.
- You need credentials that can be configured directly in browsers, proxy tools, or applications.
2. IP whitelist authentication
Authorize a public egress IP in the residential proxy whitelist. Requests from an active whitelisted IP can use the generated gateway and port without sending a proxy username and password.
How to extract a proxy:
- Open Dashboard > Proxy > Residential Proxy.
- Select Whitelist Authentication.
- Add the public egress IP of the device or server to the whitelist and wait for it to take effect.
- Choose the location, protocol, output separator, and quantity, then generate the connection information.
Typical output format:
gateway:portRecommended when:
- You use the proxy from a server or office network with a stable public egress IP.
- You do not want to store proxy credentials in scripts or applications.
If the public egress IP changes, update the whitelist before using the proxy again.
Authentication method comparison
| Item | Password authentication | IP whitelist authentication |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Connection username and password are required. | No proxy username or password is required after the source IP is authorized. |
| Source network | Works with fixed or changing public IPs. | Best for a stable public egress IP. |
| Maintenance | Use newly generated credentials after changing routing parameters or security settings. | Update the whitelist whenever the public egress IP changes. |
About API extraction links:
The Generate API Extraction Link button creates a URL for retrieving proxy connection information. The returned connection information still follows the selected password or whitelist mode; generating the link does not add another authentication method.
