When using backconnect, the endpoint proxy server remains the same: dc.decodo.com For static connection sessions, the proxy port is any number within the following range: 10001-63000
If you’re using port numbers that exceed the total IP count you’ve purchased with your plan, the ports will iterate through your existing IPs.
For rotating connection sessions, the proxy port is: 10000 The cURL code will be shown in the examples below. You may try them out on your machine.

Username:Password

​
Username And Password Parameter

To use a proxy username and password, please be aware that your username line will always start with user- followed by your proxy username.
An example of a rotating proxy using a proxy username and password to return you an IP address from a random (with Dedicated DC proxies, the only available location is the US) location: 
curl -U "user-username:password" -x "dc.decodo.com:10000" "https://ip.decodo.com/json"
Replace username and password with your credentials and run the command in your Terminal or Command Prompt. You will see the IP address that has been assigned to you for this particular request, as well as the information on that IP address, including its location, in the output.

​
Direct IP Targeting

It’s possible to target specific IP addresses from the proxy IP list you’ve purchased. To find your proxy IPs, navigate to the Datacenter → Dedicated Datacenter → Proxy setup dashboard page. Then, click on the My IP list tab. In the table below, you will find the IP addresses you’ve purchased, their country of origin, and the ASN.
Keep in mind, some IPs listed may not have an associated ASN.
If you wish to generate an endpoint list, which you can then export, or a request example with a specific IP address, in the same Proxy setup page, click on the Direct IP field and in the dropdown menu, and check your preferred proxy IP address. There, you can select all IPs or use the search bar to find a specific IP. Example of a static proxy that returns a specific IP address. The proxy IP remains unspecified. 
curl -U "user-username-ip-x.x.x.x:password" -x "dc.decodo.com:10001" "ip.decodo.com/json"

​
Country Targeting

If IPs from a specific country are needed, then modify the username to include the country-xx parameter. Use two-letter Alpha-2 codes. There is a full list of them here. To find the countries of the IPs, head over to the Datacenter → Dedicated Datacenter→ Proxy setup dashboard page. Click on the Location field, and in the dropdown menu, feel free to select the country. Example of a rotating proxy that returns IPs from the US: 
curl -U "user-username-country-us:password" -x "dc.decodo.com:10000" "ip.decodo.com/json"
