Step 1: Get your credentials
Your proxy information is in your dashboard. There is no separate email containing a proxy list, and there is no node or proxy file to download.- Go to your Dashboard > Proxies.
- Find the team member you want to use and click its “Get Proxy Details” button.
- In the form, copy your Username (
user_XXXX) and Password.
Why is my username so long?
The value in the Username field is the full username, including any flags. A username such asuser_XXXX,type_mobile,country_US is one string, not a username plus separate settings. Paste the whole line into the username field of your app. The password goes in the password field by itself.
The flags after user_XXXX control the proxy. You can add or remove them to change the location or network type. See the Configuration Reference for the full list.
About team members
A team member is an additional set of proxy credentials. It is not a count of proxies or IPs. One team member can generate many proxy profiles and reach many IPs, so the number of team members does not cap how many proxies you can run. The number of team members you can have on your account is set by your plan. For example, a plan with two team members gives you two sets of credentials. To get more sets of credentials, upgrade to a larger plan that includes more team members. Buying a top-up adds GB to your current plan; it does not add team members. If your plan comes with two team members, you can use either one. There is no designated team member that you must select. Either one works. Team members are helpful when you want to give a co-worker proxy credentials of their own. Team members can appear as disabled. A disabled team member cannot connect, and any proxy built from it will not pass the connection test, even when your account still has data left. To activate it:- Go to the Proxies page.
- Find the team member marked as disabled.
- Click activate on the right side.
How many proxies can I create on my plan?
Plans are based on traffic (GB), not on a fixed number of proxies. You can create and use as many proxy profiles, sessions, and IPs as you need from a single team member. The limit is the amount of GB included in your subscription. The team member count and the number of proxies you can generate are two separate things. A plan with two team members still lets you generate as many proxy configurations as you want from either team member.Generate many proxies at once
You can build as many proxy profiles as you need from one team member. To create them in bulk:- On the Proxies page, click “Get Proxy Details” to open the proxy configuration form.
- Click “Proxy List Generator” (the green button).
- Copy or paste as many profiles as you need. Select mobile if you want mobile IPs.
Generated proxies still need an active planThe Proxy List Generator produces valid-looking lines even when your account cannot connect. A line such as
portal.anyip.io:1080:user_XXXX,type_residential,country_US,session_...:PASSWORD is still generated when your subscription has expired or you are out of data.If the generated proxies do not work, confirm that your subscription is active and that you have GB remaining. If your subscription has expired, renew it at https://anyip.io/account/#/plans. See Billing & Data for the difference between a top-up and a renewal.Step 2: Choose residential or mobile
anyIP provides both residential and mobile IPs. You can choose which one by attaching a flag to your username:type_residentialfor residential IPs.type_mobilefor mobile IPs.
type_ flag, the network assigns residential or mobile automatically (mixed). See Network Types for the trade-offs.
You can use the same credentials with different flags to get different locations or network types. Example:
Step 3: Build the connection string
Most applications accept proxy configurations in this form:| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | HTTP/HTTPS or SOCKS5 (all supported on the same port) |
| Host / Server | portal.anyip.io |
| Port | 1080 or 443 (for standard username/password auth) |
| Username | user_XXXX (add flags to target location or network type) |
| Password | Your proxy password |
portal.anyip.io is the hostname you enter. There is no separate IP address to look up. When an app asks for an IP, enter portal.anyip.io. You can set a region-specific entry node if you want, listed in Location Targeting, but portal.anyip.io routes you to the nearest one by default.
Step 4: Set it up in your app
The configurations are carried out in the application you are using, not in the AnyIP dashboard. Before using your app, ensure to download or open it, and then enter your AnyIP credentials into the proxy configurations.- On iPhone or iPad, install Shadowrocket or Potatso and enter the host, port, username, and password there. You do not need a separate AnyIP app.
- In FoxyProxy, create a proxy profile with host
portal.anyip.io, port1080, proxy type SOCKS5 or HTTP, and your AnyIP username and password. - In An anti-detect browser such as AdsPower or Dolphin, enter the same host, port, username, and password. The credential format is the same across these tools.
Step 5: Test your connection
To confirm you are connected to anyIP, run this command in a terminal (Mac, Linux, Windows Subsystem for Linux):Common first-use questions
Where is my proxy list or node?
There is no separate proxy list email and no node file. Your credentials live in the dashboard under Proxies > Get Proxy Details. Generate or copy them there.Do I enter an IP address or a hostname?
Enter the hostnameportal.anyip.io. Apps that ask for an IP accept this hostname. There is no fixed IP to copy from the dashboard.
Which protocol should I pick, SOCKS5 or HTTP?
Both HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 work on the same port (1080). Pick whichever your app supports. Anti-detect browsers usually work well with SOCKS5.
