Decodo Proxies Use Endpoints

  • Endpoints are like gateways to IP pools.
  • When you connect to an endpoint, your traffic is automatically routed through a random IP address from the Decodo IP pool.
  • Static Residential proxies use the following endpoint and port for random requests:
isp.decodo.com:10000
  • Here are a few basic request examples in various programming languages:
curl -U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" -x "isp.decodo.com:10000" "https://ip.decodo.com/json"

​
Control Your Connection

  • You can make this more specific by adding parameters to control the IP selection and location.
  • Keep reading for a step-by-step walkthrough on specifying and generating more examples, or check out our Advanced Parameters article for an even more in-depth look.

​
Authentication WOW

  1. First, navigate to the Static Residential → Dedicated ISP → Proxy setup page on your dashboard and look for the Authentication section.
    • You’ll see that your first proxy user and password are created automatically.
  2. Next, select your proxy authentication method.
    • This can be either your whitelisted IP address or one of your proxy users

​
Additional Authentication Options

  1. You may copy your password by clicking on it
  2. To see the password click the eye icon.
  3. You can generate a new password by clicking on the arrow icon and choosing Confirm.
  4. Here, you can also see the used traffic per proxy user, or check the used traffic sum of your whitelisted IPs.
  • You can further manage your credentials in the Authentication tab. For more details, check out the Authentication Methods article.

​
Proxy Setup

In the Dedicated Static Residential (ISP) Proxy Setup section of your dashboard, selecting various parameters will generate examples you can easily copy into your applications, tools, or code.
  1. On the Static Residential → Dedicated ISP → Proxy setup page, find the parameter selection section below your authentication methods.

​
Location

  1. First, select the Location of your proxy. Choosing a specific country or multiple countries will allow you to generate a list with only those locations.

​
Direct IP Targeting

  • You can specify the IPs you would like to connect as a parameter by selecting the Direct IP option.
    • You can toggle the IPs, select all, or use the search field to create a list.
    • The IP selection will be limited to selected countries under Location (All countries will provide an entire list).

​
IP-based Whitelisting and Location Selection

  • For Dedicated ISP Proxies, a location or IP can only be specified when using the user:pass authentication method. Otherwise, All countries will be preselected with a whitelisted IP.
Location selection.

​
Session Type

  1. Afterward, select your preferred Session Type, Rotating or Static.

​
Session Ports

  • Static – Ports 10001-63000 provide a static IP address that remains until you decide to change it or the session ends.
  • Rotating – Port 10000 rotates the IP address on every request you make.

​
Protocol

  1. Finally, choose the Protocol format. Endpoint:port, HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 options are available.

​
Proxy List Examples

Once you’re done setting up in the Proxy Setup section, you will see a proxy list of generated endpoints and ports based on your selection.
  1. Simply copy it to your clipboard, or download a .csv or .txt file of the created proxy list.
  2. Alternatively, copy single elements of the generated parameters, such as the Proxy Address, Port, Username, Password, and IP, or copy the entire example string.

​
Endpoint List Control

  1. The number of generated endpoints in the list will depend on how many IPs you purchased with your plan.
    • If you select only specific IPs or countries, the total number of generated endpoints will equal your plan’s IP count, but the generated IPs will repeat to fill the list.
  2. Set the number of how many endpoints to display per page (10, 25, 50, or 100).
  3. Hide your password by clicking on the eye icon. This will not affect the copy & paste function.
  4. Click Switch view at the top right under Layout to display the entire parameter string.
For information on managing your IP list, refer to the Dedicated ISP IP List Management article.

​
Code Examples

It’s important to confirm your proxy is operational before using it in your projects. The code examples generated based on your previous selection at the bottom of your Proxy Setup dashboard allow you to quickly test whether your proxy is connecting correctly and displaying your new IP address.
  1. You can select any of the available languages: cURL, Python, NodeJS, PHP, orGO.
  2. Copy the pre-configured code example by clicking Copy in the bottom right corner.
  3. Paste and run the code in your environment.
  4. The response will show the proxy IP address and location information, confirming your proxy is working properly.
  • If you see the proxy’s IP address (not your actual IP) in the response, congratulations! Your proxy is successfully configured and ready to use.

To track Dedicated ISP proxy usage, navigate to the Static Residential → Dedicated ISP → Usage statistics section.
  1. Here, you can view a Graph of traffic or request usage sorted by: User, Target, and choose the time period.
  2. Export raw or table data in .CSV, .TXT, or .JSON formats.
  • All dates are in UTC. Traffic history is limited to 180 days maximum.
