Using proxies with Waalaxy

Why does Waalaxy need a proxy?

Waalaxy runs inside your browser. It has no proxy setting, because it uses whatever connection the browser uses. To give an account its own IP address, the proxy has to be set on the browser or the browser profile.

Which proxy works best with Waalaxy?

A residential proxy with a sticky session, in the country the account normally logs in from. Keep that one session for that one account.

Proxy settings for Waalaxy: host, port and login

A BooProxies plan gives you four things: a host, a port, a username and a password. These are the values for Residential; the username and password are on your plan page.

The country and the session are chosen in the username, not in a separate setting. The generator on your plan page writes the username for you, and Targeting and sessions explains each part.

Waalaxy proxy setup, step by step

1. Decide where the browser gets its proxy. An antidetect browser profile is the tidiest way when you run more than one account; see antidetect browsers.
2. For a single account in ordinary Chrome, add the proxy with an extension such as FoxyProxy and enter the host resi.proxies.boo, port 8080, your username and your password.
3. Open an IP-check page in that browser, then log in to the account and start Waalaxy as usual.

Menu names can differ a little between versions of Waalaxy. The four values to enter are always the same.

Rotating or sticky sessions for Waalaxy?

An account should come from one IP address in one country, day after day. Use a sticky session per account and keep its session ID for that account only. Do not rotate on every request with Waalaxy: a session that jumps between addresses is the first thing a platform notices.

A sticky username looks like this:

USERNAME-country-us-time-600-session-a1b2c3d4

Waalaxy proxy not working?

• Waalaxy and the page it works on share the browser's IP address. There is nothing to match between them.
• Before you connect an account, open the site once in a browser that uses the same proxy and check that it loads. Start with the smallest plan.
• Waalaxy also has a cloud mode that keeps campaigns running with your computer off. Actions sent from their cloud do not pass through your browser's proxy.
• A 407 error means the username or password was not accepted. Copy both again from your plan page, and check that nothing added a space or cut the username short.
• If the IP address is in the wrong country, look at the username: the country code is part of it. More fixes.
