Proxifiler

How set up Proxifiler with GoProxies

Proxifier is a network utility for Windows and macOS that routes application traffic through SOCKS5 and HTTPS proxies. It's useful for bypassing firewalls, masking your IP, and controlling exactly which connections go through the proxy.

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.

Windows Proxy Setup

1. Download Proxifier here.

2. Open the application and go to Proxy Servers.

3. Click Add to create a new proxy server.

4. Select the proxy type — HTTPS or SOCKS5.

5. Enter proxy.goproxies.com as the host and 1080 as the port.

6. Check the Enable box to set up authentication.

7. Fill in 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

   • Password: your proxy password

8. Click OK to save, then OK again on the next window.

Troubleshooting

If you're running into connection issues, try enabling leak prevention:

1. Go to Profile → Advanced and enable DNS and IP Leak Prevention mode.

2. Click Yes to confirm.

Verify the Connection

Open a browser and go to ip.goproxies.com. If the IP shown reflects your proxy location, you're all set. If not, try restarting the application.
