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:

   
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
