Authentication

All you need to know about the authentication process.Authentication allows you to authenticate yourself to our proxy servers.

• by credentials

• by IP address

Note that the first connection may be slower than when you are already authenticated.Each of these authentication methods has its advantages and disadvantages:

Authentication method	➕ Advantages	➖ Disadvantages
Credentials	full real-time control over your proxy IP location	the connection is slower
IP address	connection is a bit faster	the location of the proxy cannot be changed instantly

Which authentication is the best for my use case?

In most cases, credential authentication is the simplest and supports all types of uses.If your tool doesn't support proxy with credentials authentication (username:password), the only way is to use IP authentication, but you won't be able to instantly control the location change.If you need help choosing which type of authentication best suits your needs, contact us.
