Your dashboard generates ready-made lines in the format you need: choose the country, IP type and protocol.

Key takeaways
  • Host gw.prokso.com, ports 823 (HTTP), 824 (SOCKS5), 10000–20000 (sticky sessions, HTTP or SOCKS5)
  • The username and password are in your dashboard on the plan page
  • After setup, check your IP on the My IP page

A step-by-step guide to connecting Prokso proxies in Hidemyacc. It takes a few minutes.

Step 1. Get the proxy details from your dashboard

Open your plan and copy the host gw.prokso.com, port, username and password. Port 823 is HTTP and 824 is SOCKS5 (both give a new IP for every request); ports 10000–20000 keep one IP (sticky session) for up to 120 minutes and work as both HTTP and SOCKS5 (each port is a separate address). Set the country in the username: username__cr.ua.

Step 2. Open the proxy tab in the profile

Create or open a profile and go to the Proxy tab. Choose Your Proxy - your own proxy.

Step 3. Choose the type and paste the line

Connection type: HTTP or Socks5. Paste a line in host:port:username:password format, e.g. gw.prokso.com:10001:username:password. The dashboard generator has a format with exactly that name - "host:port:username:password".

Step 4. Check the proxy

Click Check Proxy: Hidemyacc tests the connection. If the check fails, double-check the port and username: a 407 error means a wrong username or password, or the plan has run out of traffic.

Step 5. Save the profile

By default Hidemyacc matches the time zone and geolocation to the proxy IP. The browser language is set by hand - pick the language of the address's country and save the profile.

Step 6. If the proxy doesn't connect

Check three things: the host gw.prokso.com without extra spaces, a port from 10000-20000, and the type - HTTP or SOCKS5, as selected in the program. A 407 error means a wrong username or password, or the plan has run out of traffic: check the balance on the plan page in the dashboard. A timeout usually means the port was entered with a typo or the program expects a different protocol. And if the address works but the site asks for extra confirmations, check that the profile's time zone and language match the IP country and that the same port is not set in several profiles at once.

Step 7. Check that it works

Open the My IP page: it should show the proxy's IP address and country, not yours. If the connection fails, double-check the port and protocol, and look up error codes on the Error codes page.

FAQ

How do I add many proxies at once?

In <b>Proxy Manager</b> click <b>Add proxy</b>, choose the type and paste lines into the <b>Proxy list</b> field, one per row, in <code>host:port:username:password</code> format. Then select the profiles, click <b>Add Proxy</b> and pick a proxy from the list.

Will the HTTPS type work?

Hidemyacc doesn't have it in its list of types. Choose HTTP: connections to https websites are encrypted by the website itself anyway.

Can I use rotating proxies?

Yes: port 823 (HTTP) or 824 (SOCKS5) gives a new IP on every request. But that's inconvenient for working with accounts - the website sees the address changing all the time. In profiles use a sticky port 10000-20000.
