A proxy address identifies the client’s entry point. Check its port, protocol, and authentication together. An IP-reporting service returns the observed exit, which may be a different address. Source: MiyaIP proxy address guide.

​
Enter each field separately

These are placeholders. Use your dashboard’s actual generated values. Do not combine separate Server and Port fields into a URL. Assemble a URI only when the client explicitly requests one. The PAC example is not a MiyaIP configuration URL. An HTTP proxy can use CONNECT for HTTPS destinations. An HTTPS target does not require an https:// proxy entry, and a port number does not establish the protocol. See protocols for SOCKS5 hostname-resolution modes.

Find the active configuration

1

Identify what controls the connection

Check whether the application uses system settings, a dedicated client, browser settings, environment variables, or managed policy. If it selects Use system proxy settings, inspect the operating system.Dashboard output describes how to connect. Existing system settings describe what is currently saved. They can differ.
2

Inspect the matching settings

Use the platform paths below to identify Manual, Automatic/PAC, or Auto-detect mode. Manual mode exposes a host and port. PAC exposes a configuration URL. Discovery may not expose one fixed address.Check exceptions and application-specific overrides as well.
3

Compare with dashboard output

Compare the host, port, protocol, username, and password. Preserve the complete generated username for dynamic proxies and reuse the same fields when checking a session.Test ordinary browsing, the observed exit, and your actual application. Follow rotation and sessions and latency testing.

​
Windows

Open Settings → Network & internet → Proxy. Inspect Manual proxy setup, Use setup script, Automatically detect settings, and exceptions. VPN connections can have separate settings. See Microsoft’s guide.

​
macOS

Open Apple menu → System Settings → Network → the active service → Details → Proxies. Inspect HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, automatic configuration, and bypass lists. PAC mode shows a URL; manual mode shows a server and port. See Apple’s guide.

​
iOS and Android

iOS: Settings → Wi-Fi → ⓘ next to the current network → Configure Proxy. Android/Pixel: Settings → Network & internet → Internet → the network → Edit → Advanced options → Proxy. Manufacturer labels vary. See Wi-Fi setup for operations and authentication scope.

​
Firefox

Open Settings and find the path available in your version:
  • General → Network Settings/Proxy settings → Settings/Configure proxy.
  • Privacy & Security → Connection and software security → Advanced settings → Proxy settings → Configure proxy.
Inspect No proxy, Auto-detect, Use system proxy settings, Manual proxy configuration, or Automatic proxy configuration URL. The dialog also identifies extensions controlling the connection. See Mozilla’s guide.

​
Edge and Chromium browsers

Edge uses system network settings by default. Inspect the system settings first, then any startup arguments, managed policy, or extensions overriding them. See Microsoft’s Edge proxy documentation.

​
Linux and command-line applications

In GNOME, open Network → Network Proxy and inspect None, Manual, or Automatic. Manual mode stores addresses and ports by protocol. Automatic mode stores a configuration URL. See GNOME’s guide. Command-line applications may read http_proxy, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY, and NO_PROXY. Inspect the application’s launch environment as well as desktop settings. Empty variables do not establish that browsers or dedicated clients have no proxy. Keep credential-bearing values out of shared records. See the curl manual.

​
Keep the entry and exit separate

Record the configured host and observed public IP separately. A gateway can select different exits; see backconnect gateways. For static proxies, compare the purchased static IP and intended location in your dashboard. Do not substitute the gateway’s resolved address for exit verification.
