Your datacenter username and password are generated after an order is confirmed. Both HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 connections use the same order credentials, but each protocol has its own port.
Find your credentials
- Sign in to the IpnProxy dashboard.
- Open Datacenter Access.
- Select an active order.
- Choose the protocol, session type, country and output format.
- Select Generate Proxies and copy the generated connection string.
The generator can return any of these formats:
hostname:port:username:password
hostname:port@username:password
username:password:hostname:port
username:password@hostname:port
Connection details
cURL examples
Using socks5h makes cURL resolve the destination hostname through the proxy instead of resolving it locally.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm that the selected order has not expired.
- Check that the application protocol matches the port you copied.
- Remove spaces or line breaks accidentally copied with the credentials.
- Generate a fresh connection string after changing the country, session type or output format.
- Test the connection with the cURL examples above before configuring another application.
Treat proxy credentials like a password. Do not place them in public repositories, client-side code, screenshots or support messages visible to other users.
