Proxy
Configure proxy routing on your individual scrapers to mask your IP, bypass geo-restrictions, and improve scraping reliability.
Proxy Settings let you attach a proxy to a specific scraper so that every time that scraper runs — manually, via schedule, or through the API — its requests are routed through the configured proxy.
This is useful when you need to:
- Mask your scraper's IP address to avoid detection or rate-limiting
- Access region-locked or geo-restricted content from a specific country
- Route traffic through your own private proxy infrastructure
How is this different from the Proxy Scraper?
Proxy Settings (this page) is a configuration option inside an existing scraper. You attach a proxy so the scraper's requests are routed through it. The scraper defines what to scrape; the proxy setting controls how the traffic is routed.
The Proxy Scraper (covered in Proxy Scraper) is a standalone tool on the Proxies page. You provide a URL and a proxy country, and MrScraper handles both the scraping and the proxying together.
How to Configure Proxy Settings
Step 1: Open Your Scraper Settings
- Select the scraper you want to configure in the Scrapers page.
- Click Settings → Proxy Settings.
Step 2: Enable and Configure Proxy
In the Proxy Settings panel, you can select one of the following options:
Option 1: Use MrScraper's Built-in Proxy
- Toggle Enable Proxy.
- Under Proxy Type, choose MrScraper Proxy.
- Select your desired location/region from the dropdown list.
- Each region provides a local IP address, ideal for geo-targeted scraping.
- Click Save Settings.
Note
The scraper will now route traffic through the selected country's proxy network, allowing access to region-specific or restricted content.
Option 2: Use Custom Proxy
Warning
Only use proxies from trusted providers to ensure your data remains secure.
- Toggle Enable Proxy.
- Under Proxy Type, choose Custom Proxy.
- Enter your proxy URL in one of the following formats:
http://username:password@host:portorhttps://host:port. - Click Save Settings to apply your configuration.
Tip
Use your own proxy if you have an existing provider, private IP pool, or dedicated proxy infrastructure.
