How to Set Up Proxy in Opera Browser

To work safely and anonymously on the internet, it’s recommended to use paid proxy servers. A proxy helps bypass blocks, change IP addresses, hide network activity, and enhance personal data security. Setting up a proxy in Opera browser is quite simple and doesn’t require special knowledge of network connections.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Proxy in Opera

Step 1: Clear Browser Data

Before starting the setup, it’s important to clear cookies, cache, and browser history to prevent information leaks about your device.

• Click the Opera menu button in the top left corner.
• Select “History,” then “Clear browsing data.”
  

• In the window that opens, select “From the beginning” as the time range.
• Select cookies, cache, download history, and browsing history for deletion.
• Clear the data and prepare the browser for proxy use.

Step 2: Proxy Setup

• In the browser menu, go to “Settings”.
• In the “Browser” section, go to “System”; this option is at the bottom.
• Click “Proxy server settings”. This will redirect you to your computer’s system proxy settings.
  

• In the window that opens, select the proxy you purchased (HTTP/ HTTPS/ SOCKS).
  

• Enter the IP address and port of the selected proxy server. If authorization is required, activate the option and enter your login and password.

• After entering all connection details, click “OK” to save.
• To change the proxy, return to this window and replace the parameters with new ones.
• To disable the proxy, uncheck “Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)” to use a direct connection.

Getting proxy data from Prosox

1. Go to your personal account at Prosox. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one by verifying your email.

2. Go to the “Proxy List” page if you already have proxies, or buy proxies if you haven’t done so yet.

3. Select plan/proxy type:
   
   • Residential (rotating) – for “fussy” websites, parsing, advertising. IPs may change.

• ISP (static) – the same stable IP for long sessions, accounts, payments.

4. Copy the connection parameters.

Connecting Prosox RESIDENTIAL Proxies

Example: You purchased residential proxy servers from Prosox.io and received the following:
95.141.242.12:8080:PZBto1aNAV7mWF:bEdBVKKFs6gMUus

• Select proxy type HTTPS or SOCKS5 (as specified in your Prosox account).
  
• Server: paste your IP from Prosox (example: 95.141.242.12)
  
• Port: 8080
  
• Login: PZBto1aNAV7mWF
  
• Password: bEdBVKVFs6gMUus
  

2. Proxy check.

The Prosox.io personal account already includes proxy server verification. You can check the correct operation from your personal account.

Connecting Prosox ISP (STATIC) Proxies

Example: You purchased US proxy servers from Prosox.io and received the following:
62.171.230.139:63060:prosoxPbfyz:9fSbyM7ce8RW

1. Select proxy type HTTP or SOCKS5 (as specified in your Prosox account).
   
2. Server: paste your IP from Prosox (62.171.230.139)
   
3. Port: 63060
   
4. Login: prosoxPbfyz
   
5. Password: 9fSbyM7ce8RW

Why ISP proxies: you are guaranteed to get the same static IP address for each connection. This is critically important for stable, long sessions: such proxies are excellent for working with personal accounts, financial services, payment platforms, and careful account management – without sudden IP changes or “jumps” that modern security systems dislike.

Additional features and recommendations

• In the Prosox.io control panel, you can always select a proxy with the desired geolocation and adjust the scenario: fixed mode (sticky) – for long-term continuous operation, or dynamic address renewal (rotating) – for tasks requiring regular IP changes.
• If you don’t want to use a proxy for certain sites – specify them as exceptions so that the connection to them remains direct.
• After activation, check the connection status and IP address change in your Prosox personal account or through other services to ensure complete anonymity and proper proxy operation.
