The AlterCPA Pro / Cloud platform allows using proxies for postbacks, filters and exports, in integrations with advertisers, as well as in the operation of some built-in hacks (autologiner and fbpix).

Proxy entry structure

Any entry format can be roughly divided into three parts:

  • proto — the proxy protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, SOCKS5, SOCKS5h).
  • host:port — the proxy address (IP or domain) and port number.
  • user:pass — proxy authentication data. It can be only user (depends on the proxy). Public proxies do not have authentication data.

Depending on the area of use and the proxy's characteristics, the entry format may vary.

Note. Pay special attention to SOCKS proxies with domains. Their protocol looks different than proxies with IP addresses.

Important! A proxy with an incorrect protocol or entry format will not work.

Format 1: proto://user:pass@host:port

Examples with different protocols:

  • HTTP with IP address: cathulhu:purrmeow@12.34.56.78:910
  • HTTP with domain: cathulhu:purrmeow@proxy-host.com:910
  • HTTPS with IP address: https://cathulhu:purrmeow@12.34.56.78:910
  • HTTPS with domain: https://cathulhu:purrmeow@proxy-host.com:910
  • SOCKS4 with IP address: socks4://cathulhu:purrmeow@12.34.56.78:910
  • SOCKS4 with domain: socks4a://cathulhu:purrmeow@proxy-host.com:910
  • SOCKS5 with IP address: socks5://cathulhu:purrmeow@12.34.56.78:910
  • SOCKS5 with domain: socks5h://cathulhu:purrmeow@proxy-host.com:910

Where applied: the fbpix hack.

Format 2: proto://host:port + user:pass

Entry in two separate fields.

Examples with different protocols:

  • HTTP with IP address: 12.34.56.78:910
  • HTTP with domain: proxy-host.com:910
  • HTTPS with IP address: https://12.34.56.78:910
  • HTTPS with domain: https://proxy-host.com:910
  • SOCKS4 with IP address: socks4://12.34.56.78:910
  • SOCKS4 with domain: socks4a://proxy-host.com:910
  • SOCKS5 with IP address: socks5://12.34.56.78:910
  • SOCKS5 with domain: socks5h://proxy-host.com:910

Where applied: the autologiner hack, system-level proxies, integration-level proxies.

Format 3: proto://host:port:user:pass

Examples with different protocols:

  • HTTP with IP address: 12.34.56.78:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • HTTP with domain: proxy-host.com:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • HTTPS with IP address: https://12.34.56.78:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • HTTPS with domain: https://proxy-host.com:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • SOCKS4 with IP address: socks4://12.34.56.78:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • SOCKS4 with domain: socks4a://proxy-host.com:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • SOCKS5 with IP address: socks5://12.34.56.78:910:cathulhu:purrmeow
  • SOCKS5 with domain: socks5h://proxy-host.com:910:cathulhu:purrmeow

Where applied: the fbpix hack.
