Datacenter Proxies How to Connect

This page is a basic guide with information about Datacenter Proxies and how to connect to them.

Endpoint and Port Information Permalink to Endpoint and Port Information

To connect to the evomi proxy system with Datacenter proxies, you need to use the following endpoint and port configurations:

The HTTPs endpoint uses the evomi-proxy.com domain — that is the hostname our TLS certificate covers, and it reaches the same servers. A client that verifies certificates will reject dcp.evomi.com on port 2001.

The difference between the HTTP and HTTPs proxies is that the HTTPs proxy is encrypted, while the HTTP proxy is not. The SOCKS5 proxy is a more advanced protocol that can handle more types of traffic.

The HTTP protocol works for HTTPs requests, you do not need to use the HTTPs protocol for HTTPs requests. The HTTPs protocol is only necessary if you need to connect to a secure HTTPs server and is generally slower than the HTTP protocol.

Here are step-by-step instructions to help you connect using different programming languages and tools.

CURL Permalink to CURL

To connect using CURL, use the following command format:

curl -x http://dcp.evomi.com:2000 -U testuser:testpassword https://ip.evomi.com/s

Python Permalink to Python

To connect using Python with the requests library, follow these steps:

1. Install the requests library if you haven’t already:

   pip install requests

2. Use the following script:

   import requests
   
   proxy_pass = "testpassword"
   proxy_url = f"http://testuser:{proxy_pass}@dcp.evomi.com:2000"
   
   proxies = {
       "http": proxy_url,
       "https": proxy_url,
   }
   
   response = requests.get("https://ip.evomi.com/s", proxies=proxies)
   print(response.text)

JavaScript Permalink to JavaScript

To connect using JavaScript, particularly with Node.js, follow these steps:

1. Install the node-fetch and http-proxy-agent packages if you haven’t already:

   npm install node-fetch http-proxy-agent

2. Use the following script:

   const fetch = require('node-fetch');
   const HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
   
   const proxyPass = 'testpassword';
   const proxyUrl = `http://testuser:${proxyPass}@dcp.evomi.com:2000`;
   const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyUrl);
   
   fetch('https://ip.evomi.com/s', { agent })
       .then(res => res.text())
       .then(body => console.log(body))
       .catch(err => console.error('Error:', err));
