Basic terms

Location

Location targeting is probably the most important aspect of proxy setup. Users often need to access a proxy server in a specific location for various purposes. PSB Proxy offers extensive options in this regard, allowing users to select a region, country, state or city, as well as a specific Internet Service Provider (ISP) in that location.

Region

_region This is the key for region configuration. By adding this value, you tell our router to filter proxies located in this region.

Supported region values:

  • africa
  • arabstates
  • asiapacific
  • europe
  • middleeast
  • northamerica
  • southlatinamerica

Country

_country This is the country configuration key. The value of this parameter is a two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2). For example, 'US' represents the United States, 'CA' represents Canada, and so on.

City

_city This is the key for city configuration. This parameter is used less often than region and country. However, it can be important when more precise configuration is needed. The value for this key will be the name of the city.

This setting can also include a corresponding country code to differentiate between cities with the same name in different countries.

State

_state This is the state configuration key. The value is the state name, which is especially useful in countries like the US or Australia.

You must use the two-letter country code, such as 'US' for the United States.

ISP

_isp This is a key for ISP configuration. It allows you to select proxies from specific ISPs.

If a city or state parameter is specified, it will be used in conjunction with this ISP key.

Pool of high quality proxies

High-quality proxy pools offer more advanced features such as faster speeds and better privacy options.

Activate high quality proxies for improved performance and security.

IP Whitelist

IP whitelisting ensures that only certain IP addresses have access to specific resources.

Benefits of IP Whitelisting

Whitelisting improves security by allowing requests only from trusted IP addresses.

  • Improved security
  • Access control
  • Preventing Abuse and Fraud
  • Protecting scalability

Whitelist setup guide.

IP Pass

IP skipping allows you to dynamically manage IP addresses by skipping certain IPs.

Enable IP Passthrough for better performance.

Limits

Set proxy usage limits to restrict and monitor usage.

  • Restriction settings
  • Rights settings

Activate limits for better usage control.

Guide to setting up limits.

Protocols

Configure proxy protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

Residential proxies

HTTP/HTTPS

HTTP/HTTPS protocols are ideal for web scraping and other standard use cases.

SOCKS5

SOCKS5 proxies are ideal for tasks that require more flexibility, such as P2P networks.

Sending requests

This setting describes the process of sending HTTP requests using a configured proxy server. It includes settings that allow users to configure and send requests through selected proxies.

Make sure your proxy is configured correctly before sending requests to ensure successful connection and security.
