How to get started with ProxyEmpire

A 5-minute walkthrough from sign-up to your first successful request. Total setup time: ~10 minutes.

1. 1

   Open an account & verify your inbox

   Create a ProxyEmpire account at https://proxyempire.io/?ref=affinco. Self-serve access is usually available immediately.

2. 2

   Pick a starter package

   Use the dashboard to choose between residential / datacenter / mobile. Start with the smallest plan to validate your workload before scaling.

3. 3

   Grab your endpoint + credentials

   Set up either an IP-whitelist auth or username:password pair from the dashboard. Save the proxy hostname + port into your scraper or browser config.

4. 4

   Set up session stickiness

   Decide between rotating-on-every-request (best for SERP scraping) or sticky sessions (best for account-based workflows).

5. 5

   Benchmark before committing

   Run 100-500 test requests against your real target before paying for volume. Compare success rate to ProxyEmpire's claimed rate before committing to an annual plan.
