Test & Verify

Visit https://ipnproxy.com/ip-lookup to verify your current IP address.
If you see your assigned proxy IP, everything is working correctly. If not, double-check your credentials and configuration.

Residential Proxies

  • Host: residential.ipnproxy.com
  • Port: 823
  • Format:
bash http http://username:[email protected]:823

Datacenter Proxies

  • Host: dc.ipnproxy.com
  • Port: 10080
  • Format:
bash http http://username:[email protected]:10080

Premium Mobile Proxies

  • IP: {IP_ADDRESS}
  • Port: {PORT}
  • Username: {PROXY_USERNAME}
  • Password: {PROXY_PASSWORD}
  • Format:
bash http http://{username}:{password}@{IP}:{PORT} 
bash socks5 http://{username}:{password}@{IP}:{PORT}

Mobile Proxies

  • IP: {IP_ADDRESS}
  • Port: {PORT} - Format:
bash http http://{IP_ADDRESS}:{PORT}
bash socks5 socks5://{IP_ADDRESS}:{PORT}
Use the correct format according to the proxy type and protocol you’re configuring. Mistyped ports or unsupported combinations can cause failed connections.
This method works for both Residential and Mobile proxies as long as Chrome is routing through system-level proxy settings.
