Datacenter Proxies

Use rotating datacenter proxies from the Thunderproxy dashboard.

Export pages

Datacenter proxies are managed from the subscription detail page in the Thunderproxy dashboard. Use the dashboard to pick country routing, choose rotating or sticky sessions, and copy ready-to-use connection strings.

Open the subscription

  1. Open the Thunderproxy dashboard.
  2. Go to Subscriptions.
  3. Open your Rotating Datacenter subscription.

The page shows usage, renewal controls, Quick Access, and export options.

Quick Access

Use the Quick Access card for the fastest setup.

In the User:Pass tab, the dashboard gives you:

  • Country targeting controls.
  • Rotation controls.
  • Username and password.
  • Host and port.
  • Full proxy string formats.
  • Example cURL command.

Country targeting

Datacenter geotargeting is country-based. Pick a country in the dashboard, then copy the regenerated username.

The username preview includes a -dc- fragment, for example:

username-dc-DE

Choose Any if you do not need a specific country.

Rotating and sticky sessions

Use Rotating when any available datacenter IP from the selected routing pool is acceptable.

Use Sticky when you need stable sessions. Set the session count, then copy or export the generated usernames. Sticky usernames include -sid- session IDs and can be used concurrently.

Copy connection details

Copy these values from Proxy access:

  • Username
  • Password
  • Host
  • Port

For many applications, the full proxy URI is easiest:

http://username:password@host:port

Use Show more formats for user:pass@host:port or host:port:user:pass.

See Proxy String Formats if your app asks for a different order or separate fields.

Test with cURL

Use the generated cURL example in the dashboard before configuring your app. It uses the exact current host, port, username, password, and protocol shown in Quick Access.

See Test a Proxy with cURL for manual commands and result checks.

Protocol

HTTP is the default. If SOCKS5 gateway is available on your subscription, the dashboard shows a protocol selector.

Switching protocol updates the shown port and proxy string. Copy the values again after changing protocol.

See HTTP vs SOCKS5 Proxies to avoid protocol and port mismatches.

Export a list

Use the Export card when you need a file of generated datacenter proxy lines.

Open Proxy list, select country, rotation, sessions, protocol when available, and output format, then download the file.

Troubleshooting

  • If a country is unavailable, choose Any and test again.
  • Copy credentials again after changing country, rotation, or protocol.
  • If the proxy works in the dashboard cURL example but fails in your app, compare the app's proxy format with the dashboard formats.
  • If authentication fails across all entries, check subscription activity and remaining usage.
