    Find the matching proxy details in My Proxies

    Sign in to Dashboard → My Proxies. Find the proxy you want to use and click Switch format under Proxy parameters to view its HTTP or SOCKS5 connection details. Note the connection address, port, username, password, and the IP address for the final check. Use your own values, not the masked example below.

    Use the connection address and port for the protocol selected in the browser. Keep the IP address shown in My Proxies to compare with the browser’s exit IP after setup.

    Keep proxy credentials private. Do not share a screenshot with your real username or password.

    Start and verify the profile

    Start that profile and compare its exit IP with My Proxies on an IP-check site.

    In the profile you just opened, enter this address to see its public IP: api.ipify.org

Troubleshooting

If the check passes but the profile shows another IP, make sure you assigned the newly saved proxy to that same profile.
