🏁 Quick Start Guide
Get your first residential proxy request working in under 5 minutes.
Step 1: Create an Account
Go to x2proxy.com and register. After registration, your account is activated instantly — no manual review required.
Step 2: Purchase Traffic
Navigate to the Residential Proxies section in your dashboard and select a traffic package. Traffic is billed per GB.
Traffic validity: Each purchase is valid for 90 days. After 90 days, any unused traffic is placed on pause — it is not lost. Your remaining balance is preserved and automatically reactivated with any new purchase, even the minimum available package. This means you can always extend your traffic validity by making a new purchase before or after the 90-day period ends.
Step 3: Generate Your Proxy Credentials
In the dashboard, open the Proxy Generator tool. Configure:
- Pool — select the residential pool (Stable or Dynamic)
- Protocol — HTTP(S) or SOCKS5
- Country (optional) — select a target country
- State (optional) — select a target state/region
- City (optional) — select a target city
- Provider / ASN (optional) — target a specific network provider
- Session type — Rotating or Sticky
- Session TTL (for sticky) — duration in hours, up to 120h (5 days)
The generator will output a ready-to-use proxy string with your credentials.
Step 4: Test Your Connection
Use the following cURL command to verify your proxy is working:
curl -x http://pool_category;USERNAME;region_US:PASSWORD@pr.x2proxy.com:2222 https://api.ipify.orgReplace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your credentials from the dashboard. The response will contain the proxy's IP address — not your own.
Step 5: Start Using
Copy your proxy string into your tool, browser extension, or configuration. The proxy is ready to use immediately — no additional setup required.
