Currently, our Residential Proxies support both HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols. The basic format for the proxies is as follows:

HTTP Protocol

  • Host: gate.nodemaven.com

  • Port: You can use ports ranging from 8080 up to 9080 (You will need to fill in the desired port in your anti-detect browser of software)

  • Username: ProxyUser-country-ProxyCountry-region-ProxyRegion-city-ProxyCity-sid-ProxySessionID-filter-ProxyIPQualityFilter

  • Password: Password

SOCKS5 Protocol

  • Host: gate.nodemaven.com

  • Port: You can use ports ranging from 1080 up to 2080 (You will need to fill in the desired port in your anti-detect browser of software)

  • Username: ProxyUser-country-ProxyCountry-region-ProxyRegion-city-ProxyCity-sid-ProxySessionID-filter-ProxyIPQualityFilter

  • Password: Password

Breakdown of Username Components:

  • ProxyUser and Password: These are your identification credentials. Keep this information secure as it authenticates your connection to the proxy.

  • Username Configuration: The username controls location, session duration, and IP quality filter settings.

    • ProxyCountry, ProxyRegion, and ProxyCity: These define the targeting location settings where you want the proxy to be.

    • ProxySessionID: This is a unique session ID. To ensure each profile has an individual address, use a unique string for every profile. It should contain numbers and letters, with a character length between 4 and 10.

    • ProxyIPQualityFilter: This mechanism checks the quality of the IP address. For more details, check out our IP quality filter article.

Proxy setup

  1. Find your Proxy Username and Proxy Password in the dashboard β†’ Proxy Setup section.

2. Choose a targeting location or leave it as 'Random' for a random proxy location.

Note: Selecting a specific location will update your username in the proxy list accordingly.

3. You can choose from the following session types:

I. Sticky:

  • Keep IP as long as possible: Maintain the same IP.

  • Customize session duration: Set your session duration up to 24 hours.

II. Rotating: Receive a new IP for each request.

Note: Your username in the proxy list will be updated according to the selected session type.

4. Next, decide if you want to use the IP filter and select your output format and choose between HTTP or SOCKS5 protocol.

5. Based on your proxy settings, a proxy list will be generated. You can specify the required number of proxies, and then export the list in CSV/TXT format or copy it to the clipboard.

6. You can apply the proxy list to any software to start using proxies. Check out our integration guides for the most popular tools such as Multilogin, Chrome, and Firefox.

Below is an example in cURL with the targeting location set to the United States, with a random region and city, session type 'Keep IP as long as possible', and the IP quality filter enabled. Replace PROXYUSER and PASSWORD with your proxy user credentials:

curl -k -x http://PROXYUSER-country-us-sid-2n1f9eyn74sd-filter-medium:[email protected]:8080 -L http://nodemaven.com
