Step 1: Retrieve Your Proxy Details

  • Login: Head to your user dashboard and navigate to your plan details.
  • Select a Proxy: Choose from the available list or add a new one.
  • Note the Configuration Details: You will need the following:
    • Proxy Server Address: proxy.pinguproxy.com
    • Port Number: e.g., 12933
    • Authentication Credentials: Your unique username and password.

Step 2: Configure Your Application or Browser

For a Web Browser:

  1. Chrome Example:
    • Open Chrome settings.
    • Navigate to Advanced > System > Open proxy settings.
    • Input the proxy server address and port number.
    • Save your settings and restart the browser.
  2. Firefox Example:
    • Open Firefox settings.
    • Go to Network Settings under the General tab.
    • Select Manual proxy configuration and enter your proxy details.
    • Click OK to save.

For Command Line Tools (e.g., cURL):

curl -x http://username:[email protected]:12933 https://pinguproxy.com/ip

For Python (using the `requests` library):

import requests
# Proxy credentials (replace with your values)
USERNAME = "PROXY_USERNAME"
PASSWORD = "PROXY_PASSWORD"
PROXY_IP = "PROXY_IP"
PROXY_PORT = "PROXY_PORT"
# Configure proxies
proxies = {
"http": f"http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{PROXY_IP}:{PROXY_PORT}",
"https": f"http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{PROXY_IP}:{PROXY_PORT}",
}
# Define the endpoint
url = "https://pinguproxy.com/ip"
try:
# Send a GET request through the proxy
response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an error for bad responses
print("Your IP Address:", response.text)
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Step 3: Test Your Connection

After configuration, it's important to verify that your proxy is working correctly:

  • Visit a Test Website: Open your browser and navigate to PinguProxy IP Checker to confirm that your IP address reflects your proxy.
  • Check for Errors: If you encounter connection issues, review your proxy details and ensure that your firewall settings allow outbound connections on the specified port.

Happy proxying! Enjoy the enhanced privacy, security, and flexibility that our service provides.
