Common Issues

Blocklist

⚠️ Please be aware that we restrict access to some websites.

​
Direct IP

If you buy an IP list, you can specify which IPs to connect to using the direct ip parameter in the proxy username: user-username-ip-x.x.x.x
  • Supported products: DC Pay/IP, Dedicated DC, ISP Pay/IP, Dedicated ISP plans.
  • Products that offer access to the full proxy pool, such as residential proxies, do not support this parameter.
  • Decodo proxies don’t support an IP:PORT format by default.
  • You must use the endpoint rotator format (e.g., us.decodo.com:10101).
  • If necessary, try the workaround here, but it only works temporarily before requiring another setup update.
