Welcome to Proxiware. This article will get you from sign-up to your first working proxy connection in a few minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Go to app.proxiware.com/auth/register and sign up with your email or Google account. No credit card is required to create an account.
Step 2: Add Funds
All Proxiware plans are purchased from your account balance. To add funds, go to the billing section of your dashboard and choose either Stripe (card) or Cryptomus (cryptocurrency). There is no minimum deposit amount.
Card payments land in your balance right away. Cryptocurrency deposits have to confirm on the network first, so there is a short delay before those funds appear and become spendable.
Step 3: Choose Your Proxy Type
Proxiware offers 6 proxy products. Not sure which one fits your use case? Here is a quick overview:
Premium Residential — Best overall performance and targeting. Ideal for web scraping, ad verification, and SEO monitoring.
Eco Residential — Same controls as Premium at a lower price. Good for budget-conscious projects.
Unlimited Residential — Flat-rate unlimited bandwidth. Best for high-volume operations where per-GB costs add up.
Static ISP — Fixed IP from a real ISP. Best for account management and tasks requiring a consistent identity.
Mobile — 4G/5G carrier IPs. Best for targets with aggressive anti-bot protection.
Datacenter — Fastest option. Best for high-volume, speed-critical tasks on less protected targets.

Step 4: Purchase a Plan
Navigate to the product section in your dashboard that matches your chosen proxy type. Select a plan and confirm the purchase — your balance will be charged and access is activated immediately. There is no waiting period or propagation delay once the purchase goes through.
When you complete an invoice, you are returned to that same invoice page, which will now show a completed status. That is expected and means the purchase went through.
Step 5: Finding Your Product in the Dashboard
The simplest way to reach any product you own is through the dashboard home page.
Log in and go to app.proxiware.com.
The dashboard home page lists all available products.
Click the product you have access to in order to open its section.
Each product has its own dedicated dashboard section, and everything for that plan — credentials, targeting controls, and usage — lives inside it.
Step 6: Get Your Credentials
Open your product section from the dashboard home page as described above. You will find your proxy endpoint, port, username, and password ready to copy.
On metered (per-GB) products, a proxy user is created automatically when you purchase the plan. You do not need to create one before you can use your proxy or change your targeting settings. You can create and manage additional users later if you want to separate traffic across projects or teams.
Step 7: Connect
Use your credentials in any application, browser extension, or code that supports proxy configuration. All per-GB products use the endpoint proxy.proxiware.com:1337, which accepts both HTTP and SOCKS5. Unlimited Residential uses unlimited.proxiware.com. Static ISP proxies connect directly to the IP assigned to you.
A basic connection example:
http://username:password@proxy.proxiware.com:1337
