# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.goproxies.com/proxies/integrations/operating-systems/macos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
