# Proxifier on Windows

Source: https://docs.evomi.com/proxy-instructions/integration-guides/windows-proxifier/

This guide explains how to configure Proxifier on Windows 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.

## Prerequisites

- **Proxifier** installed on your Windows machine
- An active Evomi proxy subscription
- Your Evomi proxy credentials (username and password)

## Step-by-Step Configuration

### 1. Launch Proxifier

Open Proxifier from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

### 2. Add a New Proxy Server

- Go to **Profile** > **Proxy Servers...**.
- Click the **Add** button.

### 3. Enter Evomi Proxy Details

In the **Proxy Server** window:

- **Address**: `rp.evomi.com`
- **Port**: `1002` (for SOCKS5) or `1000` (for HTTP)
- **Protocol**: Select **SOCKS Version 5** or **HTTP** to match the port

### 4. Enable Authentication

- Check **Enable** under **Authentication**.
- Enter your Evomi **Username** and **Password**.

Your password should include your desired session and mode parameters:

```
yourpassword_session-123456_mode-quality
```

Replace `yourpassword` with your actual password and `123456` with any session identifier.

### 5. Test the Proxy Server

- Click the **Check** button to verify connectivity.
- If the test succeeds, click **OK** to save.

### 6. Configure Proxification Rules

- Go to **Profile** > **Proxification Rules...**.
- Create a new rule or modify an existing one:
  - **Applications**: Specify the applications to route through the proxy
  - **Target Hosts**: Define specific domains or IP addresses (or leave as any)
  - **Action**: Select **Proxy** and choose the Evomi proxy you added
- Click **OK** to save.

### 7. Verify

- Open a browser and navigate to `https://ip.evomi.com/s`.
- The displayed IP should be the proxy IP, not your real IP.

## 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

Evomi residential proxies support different modes to optimize for your use case. Append the mode parameter to your password:

Mode selection is only available for residential proxies.

| 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-quality
```

## Tips and Troubleshooting

- **Incorrect credentials**: Double-check your username and password, including the `_mode-` parameter.
- **Connection issues**: Ensure your firewall or antivirus is 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.
