Residential Proxies

hidettp integrates with residential proxy providers to route bot traffic through real residential IP addresses. This helps avoid IP-based blocking, access geo-restricted content, and distribute requests across many addresses.

Supported Providers​

Configuration​

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations.
  2. Locate the Residential Proxies section.
  3. Select your provider.
  4. Enter the required credentials:
    • Host — proxy endpoint hostname
    • Port — proxy endpoint port
    • Username — your proxy account username
    • Password — your proxy account password
    • Zone (provider-specific) — the proxy zone or plan identifier
    • Country (optional) — target country code for geo-targeting (e.g., us, gb, de)
  5. Save.

Per-Bot Proxy​

Each bot can independently enable or disable proxy usage and select a provider:

  1. Open the bot's settings.
  2. Navigate to the Network section.
  3. Enable Use Proxy.
  4. Select which configured provider this bot should use.
  5. Save.

Proxy Bridge​

hidettp uses a local proxy bridge architecture rather than configuring the proxy directly in the browser. This approach:

  • Handles authentication transparently — the bridge manages proxy credentials without requiring browser extensions or inline credentials in the URL
  • Avoids detection — no proxy authentication extensions are installed in the browser, which can trigger anti-bot systems
  • Simplifies configuration — the bot connects to the local bridge, which forwards traffic to the upstream proxy

Selective Routing​

Only traffic destined for the bot's target domain is routed through the proxy. All other traffic (analytics scripts, CDN assets, third-party resources) goes through the direct connection. This:

  • Reduces proxy bandwidth consumption and cost
  • Improves page load performance for non-critical resources
  • Focuses proxy usage where it matters most

Use Cases​

  • Geo-targeted scraping — access content as it appears in a specific country or region
  • Avoiding IP bans — rotate through residential IPs to prevent rate limiting or blocking
  • Accessing region-restricted content — reach pages that are only available in certain geographies
