  3. Expand the ‘Pricing and bundle discounts’ section and choose a plan (1, 30, 60, or 90 days)

  4. In the ‘Subscription Details’ section, choose the ‘Proxy location’

  5. In the ‘Number of proxies’ field, enter the number of IPs

  6. Click the ‘Add City/State’ button to choose more precise geo-targeting options

  7. To order proxies from multiple available locations, click the ‘Add Another Country’ button and repeat steps 4 to 6

  8. If needed, enable the ‘Extra Requirements’ option for specific internet service providers, subnets, or other custom requests

How to Configure IPRoyal ISP Proxies

Once your order is confirmed, go to your dashboard and click on the order to view the ‘Proxy details’ section.

The dashboard gives you full control over your ISP Proxies - managing credentials, proxy protocols, authentication, and more. We’ll walk you through the key settings below.

  1. Select Proxy Protocol and Port

    In the ‘Protocol’ section (1), choose between HTTP|HTTPS and SOCKS5. The default ports are 12323 (HTTP/HTTPS) and 12324 (SOCKS5), but you can customize these in the ‘Port’ section (2) if needed. All changes you make will automatically update the ‘Formatted Proxy List’ section.

  2. Select the Credentials Format

    To simplify integration with your tools, you can choose your preferred credentials format (3). Any changes you make will automatically update the ‘Formatted Proxy List’ section.

How to Use the Formatted Proxy List

Once configured, your ISP Proxies are ready to use with your software, automation tools, browser extensions, and more.

To get started, click the ‘Copy’ (1) button to copy your proxy credentials to the clipboard.

Next, use the IPRoyal Proxy Tester to check your proxy configuration, connectivity, and speed. It’s a quick and reliable way to make sure your proxies work correctly before full integration.

  1. From the menu on the left, select ‘Proxy Tester’ (2).

  2. Make sure the format (3) matches the format you selected in the Formatted Proxy List. Paste your sessions in the input field (4) and click the ‘Begin test’ (5) button.

  3. You will instantly see the test results for each provided IP address.

For more information about making requests, see our Proxy Strings documentation.

How to Manage IPRoyal ISP Proxies Authentication

ISP Proxies support two authentication methods: username/password and IP whitelisting.

Username/Password Authentication

Each proxy comes with a username and password that you can customize for easier management.

  1. Go to the ‘Change Proxies Credentials’ section. Select individual IP addresses in the ‘Proxy IP’ (1) section or click ‘Select all’ (2) to modify all IPs in your order.

  2. Enter the new username in the ‘Username’ (3) field and the new password in the ‘Password’ (4) field. To auto-generate a password, tick the ‘Random password’ (5) box.

  3. Click the ‘Change credentials’ (6) button to apply your changes. You can also reset the username and password for selected IPs using the ‘Reset credentials’ (7) button. Note that you can change or reset your proxy credentials once per hour.

IP Whitelisting

The whitelisting authentication method lets you grant proxy access based on IP address - no login credentials needed. This feature is particularly beneficial for teams.

  1. Go to the ‘Whitelisted IPs’ section and click the ‘Add IP’ (1) button.

  2. Enter the IP address you want to authorize in the ‘IP’ (2) field, then click ‘Save’ (3).

  3. To edit or remove a whitelisted IP address, click for ‘More options’ (4) in the Actions column and select ‘Manage’ (5) or ‘Delete’ (6).

How to Manage IPRoyal ISP Proxy Orders

All ISP Proxies orders are subscription-based. You can update your subscription settings at any time in the ‘Order details’ tab.

To manually extend an order, go to the ‘ISP Orders’ section and click ‘Extend’ next to the relevant order.

For step-by-step instructions, see our Extending an Order documentation.
