Proxy Setup Instructions

IP Proxy Purchase Channels

• ipfoxy
• Overseas airport proxy. There are many such proxy airports, and users can search for them online. (Characterized by extremely low average price and fast speed, but the nodes are public, suitable for environments where IP requirements are not very strict, and suitable for overseas customers)

Note: Users in mainland China need to purchase legal overseas dedicated lines to proxy their local network to overseas environments before they can use the above third-party proxies. Currently, GTM has recommended overseas dedicated line proxy service providers, which are legal and compliant, and the speed test is stable.

You can obtain recommended overseas dedicated lines through GTM official customer service.

Importing Proxy Information into GTM

Currently, all automatic proxy import functions of the GTM system have been merged into a unified entry: User Center -> Proxy -> Automatic Proxy Information Import

Regular Proxy Import Method

Regular proxies are generally in the form of http or socks5. The following uses ipfoxy as an example to illustrate how to import proxies into GTM via video.

Overseas Airport Proxy Import Method

Import the subscription link of the airport into Clash, copy the Clash configuration file, and then import all the proxies in the Clash configuration file content with one click through GTM's automatic proxy information import function. Compared with other methods, the cost performance is the highest, and the speed is generally relatively fast. Many third-party proxy configuration files are not standardized, causing the import to fail. At this time, you can send the configuration file to customer service, who will correct it before you import it.

What are Upstream Proxy and Target Proxy?

When creating a fingerprint browser or setting up a proxy for an Android mobile device, the GTM settings interface will display two settings: Upstream Proxy and Target Proxy.

Assume you have set up 5 proxies in GTM: IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5

At this time, you want to create a fingerprint browser to use IP5 to access Facebook, and you select IP5 in the target proxy.

However, at this time, your local network access to IP5 is slow or inaccessible, but your local network can normally access IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4.

At this time, you can set the upstream proxy of this fingerprint browser to IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4.

Then your network access route is

Local machine -> (IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4) The system automatically selects a faster proxy -> IP5 -> Facebook

From the above, you can find that the Upstream Proxy actually plays a role of proxy forwarding, solving the problem that the local network directly accesses the Target Proxy slowly in some cases, and enhancing stability.
