Register, pay in crypto, generate the proxy — and what every field means. **Use for:** HK PayPal, HK and UK Shopify stores, Shopify Payments, Funnelish and ad funnels. Not for Stripe (mobile proxy from [a-socks](/guide/guides/proxy-guide/a-socks.md)) and **not for banks** — WorldFirst, Airwallex, Wise, Mercury and Currenxie are opened through [IPRoyal](/guide/guides/proxy-guide/iproyal.md). {% hint style="danger" %} GonzoProxy keeps bank and financial websites closed on purpose, and does not open them even after KYC. If a bank will not load while other sites work, it is not your settings — switch that service to IPRoyal (residential) or your a-socks mobile proxy. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Register with your own email — the proxy account is yours. Sign up here: [gonzoproxy.com](https://gonzoproxy.com?r=6162JEL) {% endhint %} ## Before you buy * **Pay in crypto.** Top-ups go through USDT (0% fee) or other coins; bank cards are not accepted at the moment. Have USDT ready — TRC20 is the usual network. * **You pay for traffic, not for proxies.** Create as many proxies as you need; only the gigabytes you use are charged, and traffic never expires. 1 GB costs $6.50; 25 GB $137; 50 GB $225; larger packs go down to $2.50/GB. **2 GB is enough for about a month** of normal use on one service. * **Crediting takes up to 20 minutes** after the network confirms the transfer. Keep the transaction hash (TXID) until the balance appears and never send a second payment "just in case". If 20 minutes pass, write to the support bot @GonzoProxy\_bot with the coin, network, amount, time and the TXID as text. ![GonzoProxy — Add Balance: USDT with 0% fee](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2Fqgpr2BIkTGlqUmJMtVO8%2Fgonzo-payment-method.png?alt=media) ![GonzoProxy — Residential Proxy dashboard: Traffic Left and traffic used](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2Fk0MCjMtcTfQq4ksSw6fi%2Fgonzo-dashboard-traffic.png?alt=media) ## Set it up {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Register Open [gonzoproxy.com](https://gonzoproxy.com?r=6162JEL) → click **Registration**. ![GonzoProxy — Registration button](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2FVjhJXHW68Lz7vbjze3CN%2Fgonzo-1-registration.png?alt=media) Create an account with your details. ![GonzoProxy — create an account](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2FdcOC5MEU3x217HEbmEHE%2Fgonzo-2-create-account.png?alt=media) {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Add traffic After registration you are redirected to the **Residential Proxy** page. ![GonzoProxy — Residential Proxy page](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2FAsqSY1U3BmW2BsE31au5%2Fgonzo-3-residential-page.png?alt=media) Click **Add Traffic** → select the number of GB → pay in USDT. **2 GB is enough for approximately 1 month.** ![GonzoProxy — Add Traffic](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2FHVFGDdnEsl30D0ygtEB2%2Fgonzo-4-add-traffic.png?alt=media) After a successful payment you are redirected back.

Sessions reset every 120 minutes: if a page stops loading, reconnect. {% endhint %} ## The Proxy Setup panel explained ![GonzoProxy — Proxy Setup panel](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2FL1MbzFBsiIeDLA55TNW0%2Fgonzo-proxy-setup-panel.png?alt=media) | Field | What to set | Why | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Country** | The country from the proxy table (HK for PayPal and HK stores, UK for UK stores, the company's country for Shopify Payments) | The exit IP country is what the platform sees | | **State / City / ISP** | Leave empty | Every extra filter leaves fewer devices online; the ISP filter is the most common reason a proxy stops working | | **Rotation** | **Sticky** | Keeps one IP for the session. "Randomize" changes the IP on every request — that is for scrapers, never for accounts | | **Protocol** | HTTPS/SOCKS5 (both use port 10000) | OctoBrowser works with socks5:// | | **Limit Session** | **120 minutes** (Basiq rule) | GonzoProxy allows up to 7 days, but the IP can change earlier whenever the device behind it goes offline | | **Server** | Default; switch to Europe / Asia / USA — the one nearest to *you* — if pages load slowly | This is the gateway region, not the exit country | | **Format** | `username:password@ip:port` | Copy or download as .txt | ## What the proxy string means A generated proxy looks like `Gonzoj9CiIi_c_US_s_204976RWZ_ttl_72h:RNW78Fm5@connect.gonzoproxy.app:10000`: * **username** — `Gonzoj9CiIi_c_US_s_204976RWZ_ttl_72h`: your account id, the country (`c_US`), the session id and its lifetime * **password** — `RNW78Fm5` * **host (ip)** — `connect.gonzoproxy.app` * **port** — `10000`, the same for every protocol **Shortcut for OctoBrowser:** you can paste the string exactly as generated with `socks5://` in front — `socks5://username:password@connect.gonzoproxy.app:10000`. OctoBrowser accepts both this and the `ip:port:username:password` form from step 3. A new session id = a new IP in the same country; the country never changes unless you change it. ![OctoBrowser — Add Proxies: the accepted formats are listed under the box](https://1489073001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMi3FIHpdc5cNtmqjAPOo%2Fuploads%2FwIXaU1SxESWYvV9r6cvj%2Foctobrowser-bulk-add-proxies.png?alt=media) ## Rules GonzoProxy itself gives * **1 proxy = 1 account.** Never use one proxy for two accounts on the same platform. * **A proxy is a real person's device.** It can go offline, sleep or get overloaded at any moment. Then the proxy stops responding, or the sticky session silently moves to another IP. A sticky session is "a request, not a guarantee" — in GonzoProxy's own test just over half of the sessions kept the same IP for 84 minutes. * **Narrow settings fail more often.** Country only is the most stable; add a region only if the platform needs it; never add a city or ISP for accounts. * **Speed varies by device.** Home connections, Wi-Fi and evening congestion all slow a proxy down. A slow proxy is not broken — recreate it to land on another device. ## If something goes wrong | Problem | What to do | | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Proxy stopped working / page will not load | The device went offline. Create a new proxy with the same country, replace it in the profile, restart the profile. If you had set a State or ISP — remove it | | Session expired | Sessions last 120 minutes by our rule — reconnect or generate a new proxy; your account is fine as long as the country stays the same | | Very slow | Recreate the proxy; widen the location; set Server to the region nearest to you | | Traffic ran out / below 400 MB | Add Traffic and generate the proxy again | | Traffic not credited | Wait up to 20 minutes after the network confirmed the transfer, then @GonzoProxy\_bot with the TXID | | A bank will not open while other sites work | Not a settings problem — financial websites are closed on GonzoProxy. Use [IPRoyal](/guide/guides/proxy-guide/iproyal.md) or a-socks for that service | | Signed up with Google and cannot log in | Use GonzoProxy's password-recovery flow for Google sign-ups, or the support bot | | Anything else | 24/7 support in Telegram: @GonzoProxy\_bot — send a screenshot of your Proxy Setup fields | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.basiq-solutions.com/guide/guides/proxy-guide/gonzoproxy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
