Proxifier on macOS
This guide explains how to configure Proxifier on macOS to route application traffic through Evomi proxies. Proxifier intercepts network connections from any application and tunnels them through a proxy server without requiring the application to have native proxy support.

Evomi Proxy Endpoints Permalink to Evomi Proxy Endpoints
| Proxy Type | HTTP | HTTPS | SOCKS5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | rp.evomi.com:1000 |
rp.evomi-proxy.com:1001 |
rp.evomi.com:1002 |
| Mobile | mp.evomi.com:3000 |
mp.evomi-proxy.com:3001 |
mp.evomi.com:3002 |
| Datacenter | dcp.evomi.com:2000 |
dcp.evomi-proxy.com:2001 |
dcp.evomi.com:2002 |
HTTPS endpoints use 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 the evomi.com form on the HTTPS port.
Proxy Modes Permalink to Proxy Modes
Evomi residential proxies support different modes to optimize for your use case. Append the mode parameter to your password:
| Mode | Password Suffix | Pool Size | Speed | Quality | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | (default, no suffix) | Largest | Good | Good | General scraping, large IP pool needs |
| Speed | _mode-speed |
Medium | Best | Good | Time-sensitive tasks, large data transfers |
| Quality | _mode-quality |
Smallest | Best | Best | Strict sites, avoiding CAPTCHAs |
Example password with quality mode:
mysecretpassword_session-abc123_mode-qualityTips and Troubleshooting Permalink to Tips and Troubleshooting
- Incorrect credentials: Double-check your username and password, including the
_mode-parameter. - Connection issues: Ensure your firewall or security settings are not blocking Proxifier.
- Authentication failed: Verify the password includes the correct mode suffix.
- Switching modes: Change the
_mode-parameter in your password (mode-speed,mode-standard,mode-quality). - Restart applications: After changing proxy settings, restart applications to ensure they pick up the new configuration.
