import requests

proxies = {
  'http': 'http://user:pass@proxy.kindproxy.com:8080',
  'https': 'https://user:pass@proxy.kindproxy.com:8080'
}

response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies)

cURL Example

curl -x proxy.kindproxy.com:8080 \
  -U username:password \
  https://httpbin.org/ip

Test Your Connection

Verify that your proxy is working correctly by checking your IP address and location. You should see a different IP address than your original one.

✅ Success: If you see a different IP address, your proxy is working correctly!

Common Setup Questions

How do I know if my proxy is working?

The easiest way to verify your proxy is working is to check your IP address:

Visit httpbin.org/ip or whatismyipaddress.com
Compare the displayed IP with your original IP address
The location should match the proxy server's location
Check that websites load normally without errors

We support multiple proxy protocols to ensure compatibility with your applications:

HTTP/HTTPS: Standard web proxy protocol, works with most applications
