   * **Port:** `1080`
   * **Login:** `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)
