# Formatting Proxies

### NetNut Configuration

NetNut proxies offer flexible configuration options that include country, state, and city-level targeting. You can also configure sticky sessions for longer-lasting IP assignments.

#### General Format:

* **Standard Format**:\
  `host:5959:user:pass`

  `host:5959:user-res_sc-uk_england_manchester:pass`

  *Here, `sc-uk_england_manchester` refers to a proxy located in Manchester, England.*
* **With Country**:\
  `host:5959:user-res-any:pass`\
  \&#xNAN;*(Replace "any" with the desired country code, e.g., `us` for the United States.)*

#### Sticky Session Format:

* **Sticky Proxy Format**:\
  `host:5959:user-res-us-sid-20944387:pass`

### Setting Up Proxies with Custom Subdomains

To use your own subdomain for proxy access, you need to configure DNS settings via your domain provider. Here's how to do it using Cloudflare, however the process will be similar for others:

#### Steps to Set Up a Custom Subdomain:

1. **Log into Cloudflare**:\
   Go to your Cloudflare dashboard and select your domain.
2. **Create A Records**:\
   For each subdomain (e.g., `proxy1.yourdomain.com`, `proxy2.yourdomain.com`), create an A record pointing to the IPs provided.\
   Use  the following IPs:
   * 178.156.130.77
   * 188.245.87.142
   * 5.223.43.28
3. It should now look something like this:

   <figure><img src="/files/T6dlxEUReVaLtgYRAFR8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
4. **Configure A Records**:
   * **Name**: Enter the desired subdomain (e.g., `proxy1` for `proxy1.yourdomain.com`).
   * **IPv4 Address**: Enter the provided IP address (e.g., `178.156.130.77`).
   * **Proxy status**: Set this to **DNS only** (do not use Cloudflare’s proxy services for this).
5. **Repeat for Additional Subdomains**:\
   Add as many A records as needed, pointing each to the provided IPs.
6. **Update Your Proxy Configuration**:\
   Replace the `host` in the proxy format with your custom subdomain. For example:
   * `proxy1.yourdomain.com:5959:user:pass`

#### Example:

* Instead of using the default host, you would now use your custom subdomain:
  * **NetNut Format**:\
    `proxy1.yourdomain.com:5959:user-res-any:pass`
  * **IPRoyal Format**:\
    `proxy2.yourdomain.com:12321:user:pass_country-us_city-asheville`
  * **Oxylabs Format**:\
    `proxy3.yourdomain.com:7777:customer-user-cc-us:pass`
