Target Access

Please be aware that we restrict access to some domains. You can learn more here.

Direct IP

Direct IP Parameter Support

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.

IP:PORT

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.
