You’ll learn how to create and access your credentials, including your username, password, and domain, which are essential for integrating the proxies into your applications. Additionally, we’ll cover the available configuration options, such as World Region, Country, Protocol, and Sticky TTL, to help you optimize the use of the proxies based on your specific requirements.

Proxy Configuration Options

ZenRows Residential Proxies are designed to be functional right out of the box. With auto-rotation and residential IPs pre-configured, you can start using them immediately by copying the Proxy URL. However, we also provide additional customization options to help tailor the proxies to your use case.
Auto-rotate and Residential IPs are enabled by default for all users.
You can adjust the following configuration options:

Username and Password

To make proxy management easier, you can switch between usernames directly in the dashboard. Simply select the desired username, and the proxy URL will automatically update with the corresponding username and password. Note that the domain and port will remain the same.
