Targeting search engines?
If you target a search engine like google, bing or yandex, you need a special Search Engine Results Page (SERP) proxy API. Use Bright Data SERP API to target search engines. Click here to read more about Bright Data SERP proxy API.
Correct setup of proxy test to avoid “PROXY ERROR”
In many tools you will see a “test proxy” function, which performs a conncectivity test to your proxy, and some add a geolocation test as well, to identify the location of the proxy.
To correctly test your proxy you should target those search queries to:
https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt
.
Some tools use popular search engines (like google.com) as a default test target. Bright Data will block those requests and you tool will show proxy error although your proxy is perfectly fine.
If your proxy test fails, this is probably the reason. Make sure that your test domain is not a search engine (this is done in the tool configuration, and not controlled by Bright Data).
Maintain a consistent IP throughout your browser session by using the -session
parameter in your username. This is essential because BrightData proxies default to rotating IPs with each request. Learn more
New users should begin with ISP or Data Center proxies, as residential proxies are incompatible with browser integration in Immediate-Access mode .
For use-cases related to account management, use a consistent static dedicated IP for each account you are managing. dedicated ISP proxies should be used for this.
What is XLogin?
XLogin is a browser profile management tool designed to help you run multiple online accounts without them interfering with each other. Each profile acts like a separate, isolated browser environment, making it easier to handle tasks like scaling e-commerce operations, managing social media campaigns, and conducting detailed research. By integrating Bright Data proxies, you add an extra layer of privacy and reliability to every profile.

If you already have profiles, choose one that you’d like to run through Bright Data proxies, then select “Edit” or “Settings” to access its configuration.
Step 3. Personalize and Configure Your Browser Profile
First, type in a clear “Display name” for your browser profile so you’ll know exactly which one you’re working with. Then, hit the “Setting proxy server” button to open up the proxy configuration panel. If you can’t spot it, check advanced menus or peek at the XLogin documentation.

Want a US-based exit node? Append -country-US
to your username (e.g., your-username-country-US
). This applies to other countries too—just swap the country code as needed.
Step 5. Save Your Settings
Before completing the setup, click “Test Proxy” to verify that the connection is good. If everything checks out, select “Save” to finalize your configuration. Finally, ensure that the recorded details reflect your intended proxy settings.
Step 6. Test the Proxy Connection
-
Launch the updated browser profile.
-
Navigate to a site like http://httpbin.org/ip.
