# macOS

Set up proxies directly on macOS for Apple laptops and desktops.

### Requirements

Before getting started, ensure that:

* No other VPN or proxies are active.
* You have your GoProxies endpoint ready, e.g. `proxy.goproxies.com:1080`
* Your GoProxies subuser (also called API User) username and password.

### Proxy Setup

1. Click the **Apple** icon in the top-left corner and select **System Settings**.
2. Navigate to **Network** and select **Wi-Fi**.
3. Choose your Wi-Fi connection and click **Details**.
4. Select **Proxies** from the left panel.
5. Choose your protocol — `HTTP`, `HTTPS`, or `SOCKS`.
6. Fill in the following:
   * **Server:** `proxy.goproxies.com`
   * **Port:** `1080`
7. Toggle on **Proxy server requires password** and enter your credentials:
   * **Username:** `customer-your_username_here` — to target a specific country, append `-country-country_abbreviation` after your username, e.g. `customer-exampleuser-country-us`, as covered in our [proxy parameters article](https://docs.goproxies.com/proxies/rotating-residential-proxies/proxy-parameters)
   * **Password:** your proxy password
8. Click **OK**.

### Verify the Connection

Open a browser and go to [ip.goproxies.com](https://ip.goproxies.com). If prompted for credentials, enter your subuser username and password. If the IP shown reflects your proxy location, you're all set.
