Connection Format

Proxy host, ports, protocols, and all supported credential string formats.

Host & Ports

All proxy connections go through a single host. There are no regional gateway variants.

Credential Formats

Proxy credentials consist of four parts. You can express them in different orders depending on what your tool expects.

Protocols

HTTP/HTTPS (port 823)

Use HTTP tunnelling (CONNECT) for HTTPS targets — your client sends a CONNECT request and all subsequent traffic is encrypted end-to-end. Port 823 handles both HTTP and HTTPS.

curl -x http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.raxyproxy.com:823 \
     https://httpbin.org/ip

SOCKS5 (port 824)

SOCKS5 operates at the TCP layer and proxies any protocol, not just HTTP. Use it for tools that explicitly support SOCKS5, for SSH tunnelling, or when you need to proxy non-HTTP traffic.

curl --socks5-hostname proxy.raxyproxy.com:824 \
     -U USERNAME:PASSWORD \
     https://httpbin.org/ip

URL Formats by Language

Different HTTP libraries expect proxy URLs in slightly different forms.

import requests

proxies = {
    "http":  "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.raxyproxy.com:823",
    "https": "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.raxyproxy.com:823",
}
r = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/ip", proxies=proxies)

import { HttpsProxyAgent } from 'https-proxy-agent';
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.raxyproxy.com:823');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,     'http://proxy.raxyproxy.com:823');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, 'USERNAME:PASSWORD');

proxyURL, _ := url.Parse("http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.raxyproxy.com:823")
transport   := &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyURL)}
client      := &http.Client{Transport: transport}

API Output Formats

When you call GET /api/v1/packages/{id}/proxies, the format parameter controls how credentials are returned.
