Once you have an active plan, fill out the form below to create your first proxy. anyIP doesn’t install anything on your device. Simply create a proxy profile in the dashboard, copy the credentials, and paste them into your desired app/tool: Shadowrocket, FoxyProxy, Curl, Python, AdsPower, Dolphin. You do not buy one specific IP. Your subscription gives you access to the proxy pool, and the proxy profile sets the location, network type, and session options you want. To buy a plan, go to the Plans section at https://anyip.io/account/#/plans, choose a plan, pick card or crypto, and complete the payment with the payment provider.

​
Step 1: Create a proxy profile

Your proxy settings can be found in your dashboard. There will be no separate email with a proxy list. There is no node/proxy download file.
  1. Open the Proxies page.
  2. Click + Add Profile.
  3. Fill in the form: name, proxy type, location, and the other options you need. If you want IPs from a specific country, select that country here. A profile with no country selected is not restricted to one country.
  4. Use the right column to set how many proxies you need, the delimiter, and other options.
  5. Click Save profile.
You can also create a profile directly at https://anyip.io/account/proxies/create. For a walkthrough, see the video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvaBE4rYKCk.

​
Step 2: Copy your credentials

Click Save Profile, then open your newly created profile from the Proxies page. Scroll down to the proxy details section of your profile. You will see: You can copy the credentials from the profile or export them. If you do not change the password for the proxy user, the usernames you created earlier will continue to work.

​
Why is my username so long?

The Username field contains the entire username, including flags. user_XXXX, type_mobile,country_US is one username not a username with individual settings. Copy the entire line and paste it into your app’s username field. Password should be pasted into the password field alone. 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 proxy users (team members)

A proxy user is a set of proxy credentials on your account. Proxy users are also called team members; both terms refer to the same thing. In the dashboard, they are listed on the Proxy users tab of the Proxies page. Proxy users let you organize and manage different proxy configurations under the same account. Each proxy user can have its own settings, such as proxy location and session configuration. A common use is to give a co-worker or a separate project its own credentials. A few rules apply to every proxy user:
  • All proxy users use the bandwidth from the same main account. A plan with two proxy users has one shared GB balance, not a separate allowance per proxy user.
  • A proxy user is not a separate dashboard account. It cannot log in to the dashboard on its own.
  • A proxy user is not a count of proxies or IPs. One proxy user can generate many proxy profiles and reach many IPs, so the number of proxy users does not cap how many proxies you can run.
  • A proxy user cannot be deleted. You can disable it or change its password instead.
The number of proxy users you can have on your account is set by your plan. For example, a plan with two proxy users gives you two sets of credentials. To get more sets of credentials, upgrade to a larger plan that includes more proxy users. Buying a top-up adds GB to your current plan; it does not add proxy users. If your plan comes with two proxy users, you can use either one. There is no designated proxy user that you must select.

​
Profiles and generated proxies

Every profile is created from a proxy user. The profile holds the proxy configuration (proxy type, location, session settings), and the Proxy List Generator inside the profile produces as many proxy lines as you need from it. You do not need a separate profile for each IP. Increase the number of proxies in the generator instead. Each generated proxy username has its own session value, and each one gets a unique IP. Create another profile when you want a different configuration, for example a different country. Profiles depend on the proxy user they were created from. If that proxy user is disabled or its password changes, every profile created from it is affected.

​
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 proxy user. The limit is the amount of GB included in your subscription. The proxy user count and the number of proxies you can generate are two separate things. A plan with two proxy users still lets you generate as many proxy configurations as you want from either proxy user.

​
Generate many proxies at once

You can build as many proxy profiles as you need from one proxy user. To create them in bulk:
  1. On the Proxies page, click “Get Proxy Details” to open the proxy configuration form.
  2. Click “Proxy List Generator” (the green button).
  3. Copy or paste as many profiles as you need. Select mobile if you want mobile IPs.
Each line uses a different session name, therefore each line is its own proxy. The format is this:
Start with a few proxies if you want to run a lot of accounts. Test your workflow, then scale.
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, you are out of data, or the linked proxy user is disabled.If the generated proxies do not work, confirm that your subscription is active, that you have GB remaining, and that the proxy user is active. 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.

​
Manage proxy users

Access and usage controls apply to a whole proxy user. You manage them from the Proxy users tab at https://anyip.io/account/proxies/users.

​
Activate or disable a proxy user

A proxy user can be active or disabled. A disabled proxy user cannot connect, so anyone using it cannot use the proxies and no traffic is consumed through it. Any proxy built from a disabled proxy user fails the connection test, even when your account still has data left and the proxy line looks correct.
  1. Go to the Proxies page in your dashboard.
  2. Open the Proxy users tab.
  3. Click the option menu for the proxy user.
  4. Select Activate or Disable, depending on what you need.
Once a proxy user is activated, all profiles created from it work again. You do not need to recreate them.

​
Change a proxy user password

If you think someone else is using your proxies, change the proxy user password. The new password revokes access right away for anyone still using the old credentials. Share the new password only with people you trust.
  1. Go to the Proxies page.
  2. Open the Proxy users tab.
  3. Select the proxy user you want to update and edit it.
  4. Set the new password and save the changes.
Changing the password affects every profile previously created with that proxy user. Update the password in each app or tool that uses those profiles, or they stop connecting.

​
Limit traffic for a proxy user

You can set a traffic limit on an individual proxy user.
  1. Go to the Proxies page in the anyIP dashboard.
  2. Open the Proxy users tab.
  3. Hover over the proxy user until the three dots appear, then click Edit.
  4. Set the traffic limit for the selected proxy user and save.

​
What you cannot restrict

The controls above work per proxy user. The following are not available:
  • Blocking or limiting a single generated proxy line or proxy configuration while other lines from the same proxy user keep working.
  • Blocking specific domains from using your traffic.
To control people separately, give each person or project its own proxy user. You can then disable, change the password of, or set a traffic limit on one proxy user without affecting the others. The number of proxy users available depends on your plan.

​
Step 3: Choose residential or mobile

anyIP provides both residential and mobile IPs. You can choose which one by attaching a flag to your username:
  • type_residential for residential IPs.
  • type_mobile for mobile IPs.
If you do not add a type_ flag, the network assigns residential or mobile automatically (mixed). See Network Types for the trade-offs. You can use the same username/password with different flags to pull various locations/network types. Example:
The first targets a United States IP and the second targets an Italian IP, using the same username and password. See the Configuration Reference for all flags.

​
Step 4: Pick the right format for your app

Credentials can be expressed in three formats. Use whichever format your app requires, and do not combine them.

​
Separate fields

Most anti-detect browsers and mobile apps have separate fields. Enter: Username must be entered as the full string starting with user_, not just the ID or user. For example, use user_XXXX instead of XXXX or user. If you put user_XXXX the proxy will disregard the location and session you placed in the profile.

​
Full proxy URL

Code, curl, and apps with a single proxy input usually accept a URL:

​
List line

The Proxy List Generator generates lines of the format host:port:username:password. Copy/Paste into a tool that accepts importing proxy lists, like an anti-detect browser’s bulk import:
A list line is not a command. You cannot paste it directly into a terminal or CMD. To test from the command line, use the curl command in Step 6. 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 5: 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, port 1080, 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.
In AdsPower you can enable IP change URL which allows the tool to request a new IP when your current IP stops working. It uses the same selected parameters(country, region, ASN, proxy type) as possible. For screenshots and per-tool steps, see the Integration Guides.

​
Step 6: Test your connection

Each profile includes a ready-made test command:
  1. Open the Proxies page.
  2. Click the profile you want to use.
  3. Scroll down to the last section and select </> Code.
  4. Select Shell and copy the command.
The command has this form:
On Mac or Linux, paste it into a terminal. On Windows:
  1. Press Windows + R, type cmd, and click OK.
  2. Paste the full command, starting with curl, and press Enter.
  3. Wait for the command to finish. It can take around 1 minute.
If you see an IP that is not your home internet you are successfully connected. You can then browse the internet within the app or website as you normally would. There are no further steps. Once you’ve set up the proxy, you’re done. If the curl test fails on your device but the credentials you provided are correct, your internet provider may be blocking the connection attempt. Try curl test again from another internet network provider. When your application proxy check fails, use the curl test first to view the error. If your application includes a “Check Proxy” feature and the test fails, you may not see the IP address until after the first test. Try checking again. If the test continues to fail, ensure that the proxy user is enabled and that you have data available on your plan.
Check system statusBefore debugging a failed connection, check status.anyip.io to confirm the network is operational. For other connection errors, see Troubleshooting.

​
Common setup mistakes

Most first-use connection failures come from how the credentials were pasted:
  • The username is missing the user_ prefix, for example 20268bc2d8 instead of user_20268bc2d8.
  • The username is only user_XXXX without the flags from the profile, so the country and session settings are not applied.
  • The port is missing, or the host is not portal.anyip.io.
  • The password has an extra character, such as a trailing + or space copied by mistake.
  • The username is from a different or disabled proxy user than the one you meant to use.
  • The profile targets a very narrow location (for example a city plus an ASN) with no available IPs. Remove non-essential filters such as ASN, region, or city to increase the available pool.
When requesting support, paste your entire config as text, don’t just attach a screenshot of it.

​
Common first-use questions

​
Where is my proxy list or node?

There is no separate proxy list email and no node file. Your credentials and proxy lists live in the dashboard inside each proxy profile on the Proxies page. Create a profile with + Add Profile, then copy or export the list from the profile.

​
Where is my proxy password?

The password for your proxy can be found on your dashboard under profile details. It is not the same as your login password for the dashboard.

​
Do I enter an IP address or a hostname?

Type in hostname portal.anyip.io . Apps that require an IP will accept the hostname. There is no static IP to copy from your dashboard.

​
Which protocol should I pick, SOCKS5 or HTTP?

HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 listen on the same port (1080). Choose whichever one your application supports. Anti-detect browsers typically support SOCKS5.

​
How long does my plan last?

Plans are monthly subscriptions with a set amount of GB. You need both active subscription time and remaining GB to connect. To keep using the service, maintain an active subscription. Unused GB can roll over if you renew within 7 days of expiration. See Billing & Data for the full rules.
