Make a request to using a residential proxy from a random location through our entry. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your proxy user credentials. Keep in mind that each request returns a new IP address as PROXYFORU Rotating Residential Proxies rotate automatically.

Our Residential Proxies support HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols.

curl -x socks5://USERNAME-zone-custom-region-US:PASSWORD@global.proxyforu.com:3000 ipinfo.io

Here is another example of a request that goes through a proxy from California, United States. Adding region-US-st-CA to the username string enables you to specify a state.

curl -x socks5://USERNAME-zone-custom-region-US-st-CA:PASSWORD@global.proxyforu.com:3000 ipinfo.io

If you need to keep the same proxy for more than one request, use a session control. Add sesssion-abcd1234 to your username string, where abcd1234 can be any random string, and as long as you keep sending requests with this string (session ID), you will get the same proxy IP.

curl -x socks5://USERNAME-zone-custom-session-abcd1234:PASSWORD@global.proxyforu.com:3000 ipinfo.io
