When using backconnect, the endpoint proxy server remains the same: isp.decodo.com For static connection sessions, the proxy port is any number within the following range: 10001-63000 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 an IP address from a random location:
curl -U "user-username:password" -x "isp.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 as a parameter from the shared ISP proxy pool. However, we don’t provide a list of specific IP addresses for connection. 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 "isp.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. Here is the full list of available locations with ISP Pay/GB proxies. If you wish to generate an endpoint list, which you can then export, or a request example with a country, navigate to the Static Residential → ISP Pay/GB → Proxy setup dashboard page. Click on the Location field, and in the dropdown menu, feel free to select one of the countries. Example of a rotating proxy that returns IPs from the US:
curl -U "user-username-country-us:password" -x "isp.decodo.com:10000" "ip.decodo.com/json"
Example of a static proxy that returns an IP from Italy:
curl -U "user-username-country-it:password" -x "isp.decodo.com:10001" "ip.decodo.com/json"
