Proxy Shop: FAQ

Are these Octo Browser proxies?

Octo Browser is not a proxy provider. Proxies are provided by third-party proxy providers, whose traffic you can buy directly in Octo Browser.

What kind of proxies are offered in the Proxy Shop?

Dynamic residential and mobile proxies are currently available. Typically, an IP address is available for an average of 2 to 24 hours. After that, a new IP address from the same location is issued (and, if possible, from the same ISP). Issued IP addresses are not personalized, so available addresses are issued from the address pool; however, due to the vast number of IP addresses the probability of overlapping is minimal.

Can I transfer traffic from one ISP to another?

It is possible in certain situations. Please contact our Customer Service to learn more.

Can I use HTTP proxies?

If you use HiveProxy or Nodyx, you won't even need to change anything in the proxy data except the protocol itself. Simply change the protocol to HTTP in the software for which you plan to use the proxy.

If you want to use an HTTP proxy in Octo, you cannot change the protocol in the created proxy itself. You need to copy the data of the SOCKS5 proxy you created and create a new proxy in the proxy manager, changing its protocol to HTTP.

If you use Netlabs, you will need to change the port from 1080 to 8080 in the proxy data and the protocol itself.

Are there limits on changing the external IP address with a link?

Yes, this operation is limited. You can change the IP address once per minute.

Can I manage Proxy Shop proxies via API?

Yes. You can use the API to retrieve a list of proxies for each provider, create proxies, change their names, and delete them, as well as check the provider’s available locations and traffic balance. To do this, the API token must have the "Create paid proxies" permission enabled. Purchasing traffic via the API is currently not available.

For more information, see the Proxy Shop via API section.
