Dual Authentication for Proxies

Choose the authentication method that fits your setup instead of forcing one workflow.

Different setups need different kinds of security. We are offering both username/passwordlogins and IP whitelisting so you can pick the option that fits your tools, team, and network.

Two methods, different strengths

  • Username & Password: easier when you move between devices, networks, or servers
  • IP Whitelisting: better when you want to allow access only from approved fixed IPs

Use credentials when flexibility matters

Username/password is usually the easier option when your IP changes often, you work across multiple machines, or you need to deploy quickly.

Use whitelisting when control matters

IP whitelisting makes the most sense from a stable server, office, or fixed connection. It adds a strong layer of access control even if credentials are shared too widely.

A few good habits

  • Use strong, unique passwords for shared environments
  • Whitelist only trusted IPs and remove old addresses you no longer use
  • If you scale teams, rotate credentials periodically for extra security

What is dual authentication for proxies?

Dual authentication means you can access proxies using either username/password credentials or IP whitelisting. This gives you flexibility and better control over who can use your proxy access.

Which is better: username/password or IP whitelisting?

Username/password is best for convenience and setups where your IP changes often. IP whitelisting is best for strong access control when you connect from stable servers or fixed networks.

How do I add my IP address for whitelisting?

You can add or remove whitelisted IP addresses from your account dashboard. Once added, only those IPs can connect.

Can I switch authentication methods later?

Yes. You can switch between username/password and IP whitelisting at any time in your account settings, depending on what works best for your workflow.

Is IP whitelisting secure if my IP changes?

If your IP changes frequently (for example, home internet or mobile networks), whitelisting can be inconvenient because you’ll need to update your allowed IP. In that case, username/password authentication is usually the better option.
