The operating system specification feature can be enabled with an active Residential plan. To request access to this feature, contact us at support@decodo.com. Note that you may have to complete a KYC form.
To specify the operating system with the residential proxy, you have to include the os variable in the proxy username. The operating system name is specified after the variable, like so: os-windows.

​
