# Proxy Generation Setup Guide

The Proxy Generation makes creating your Residential Proxies directly from the Dashboard easy. Follow this guide to set up your proxies with precision and flexibility.

## 1. Access the Proxy Generator

Log in to your **Dashboard** and navigate to **Proxy Generation**.

## 2. Select Authentication Method

To use the Proxy Generation feature, you need to create a Sub-Account. Creating a new sub-account is for user authentication and to manage separate user permissions and resources.

To create a Sub-Account, you can either:

* Go to **Dashboard** → **Sub-Accounts**
* Click **Add Sub-Account** directly in the **Proxy Generation** section

{% hint style="info" %}

## NOTE

We also offer IP-based whitelisting as an alternative. This method does not require a username or password. Your proxies will be automatically authorized based on your whitelisted IP addresses.
{% endhint %}

Once your Sub-Account is ready, select the username and corresponding password to proceed.

## 3. Select Proxy Location

Configure your proxy location using the following fields:

* **Country**: Choose from a list of supported countries. Choosing Random means that the IP address's location will be picked randomly from one of our residential IP pools.
* **State**: Shows available states within the selected country.
* **City**: Displays cities under the selected state.
* **ISP**: Appears if you select ISP-based filtering.

## 4. Select Session Type

* **Sticky Session**: Keeps the same IP address for a configured duration. Ideal for maintaining session consistency. You can define the number of minutes for the sticky session.
* **Rotating Session**: Assigns a new IP address with every request or based on your configuration—perfect for web scraping or anonymous browsing.

## 5. Generate Proxies

In the **Proxy Generator** section, choose:

* The number of endpoints you need.
* Your preferred output format. Supported formats include:

```
username:password:hostname:port
hostname:port:username:password
username:password@hostname:port
```

Once selected, the Batch Generation panel will display your connection strings. These proxies will be ready to use and automatically connect to BeeProxy’s network.

Congrats – you've successfully generated a ready-to-use list of proxy endpoints.

Your connection strings are now available and ready to integrate into your tools, scripts, or applications.

## Code Examples

To help you get started quickly, we provide ready-made code snippets for testing your proxies.

You can choose from a variety of popular languages and frameworks, including:

* **Node.js**
* **cURL**
* **PHP**
* **Go**
* **Java**
* **C#**
* **Scrapy**

Each example shows you how to structure your proxy request using the format you've selected.
