How to Configure SOCKS5 Proxies in 5 Minutes

Setting up SOCKS5 proxies doesn't have to be complicated. In this guide, we'll walk you through configuring your Sytxproxy SOCKS5 credentials in five popular applications.

What You Need

• Your Sytxproxy username and password
• Your proxy IP address and port
• The application you want to configure

Browser Configuration

For Chrome or Edge, use an extension like Proxy SwitchyOmega. Add a new profile with Protocol: SOCKS5, your server IP and port, plus your bun_username and bun_password.

Python (Requests Library)

proxies = {
    "http": "socks5://username:password@proxy_ip:port",
    "https": "socks5://username:password@proxy_ip:port"
}
response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)

curl

curl -x socks5h://username:password@proxy_ip:port https://example.com

Browser Automation (Playwright)

browser = await chromium.launch({
    proxy: {
        server: "socks5://proxy_ip:port",
        username: "bun_username",
        password: "bun_password"
    }
})
