Connect Your Browser To a Proxy
When you using a browser to go on a website, you can configure it to use a proxy. The proxy gives a way to access the internet from another IP address.
There is 2 ways to use a proxy.
BlitzBrowser Proxy Integration
You can use our proxies integrated into our browsers to start accessing the web from around the globe. Our proxy is configured to assign an IP address to each browsing session. You can request an IP from anywhere, a country, a state/region within a country or even a specific city.
You only have to configure the location of the proxy you would like to use and we handle everything else. You don't have to manage authentication or configure your browser.
You can find and configure your proxy access from the dashboard directly.
BlitzBrowser Proxy Parameters
proxyCountry=${COUNTRY_CODE}
: To setup your proxy from a country, you
have to use the ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 code of the country. It is a 2 characters code used to identify the countries.
proxyState=${STATE_CODE}
: To setup your proxy from a state within a
country, you have to use the ISO 3166-1 subdivision code of the state.
proxyLocation=${LOCATION_ID}
: To setup your proxy from a specific
city, you have to use its location ID. You can find it from the dashboard.
Framework Proxy Integration
The second way is using the framework config to setup a proxy. Puppeteer and Playwrigth have functions to connect your browser to a proxy. The advantage of this way to do is it allows you to bring your own proxies while using our infrastructure.
