Quick start

Route requests through NodeLighthouse in three steps.

1. Copy your credentials
Open the Proxy generator. Your username and password are already attached to your account — nothing to create.

2. Point your client at the gateway

curl -x http://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@gw.nodelighthouse.com:9000 https://api.ipify.org

3. Target a country or pin a session

# rotating, country-targeted  (port 9000)
-x http://<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us:<PASSWORD>@gw.nodelighthouse.com:9000

# sticky session — same IP for 10 minutes  (port 10000)
-x http://<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us-lifetime-10-session-abc12345:<PASSWORD>@gw.nodelighthouse.com:10000

Using with a bot

Open the Proxy generator, choose how many proxies you want, and copy the list (or download it as a .txt). Each line is a ready connection string — paste it straight into your bot's proxy list.

Most bots accept host:port:user:pass:

gw.nodelighthouse.com:10000:<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us-lifetime-10-session-abc12345:<PASSWORD>

The generator also offers user:pass@host:port and http://user:pass@host:port for tools that want those. Use the exact password shown on the generator page — geo and session targeting ride in the username. Each generated line gets its own sticky session, so bots treat them as separate, stable IPs.

SOCKS5

Same credentials, port 11000. Point a SOCKS5 client at the gateway:

curl -x socks5h://<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us:<PASSWORD>@gw.nodelighthouse.com:11000 https://api.ipify.org

Use socks5h (not socks5) so the hostname is resolved through the proxy.

Acceptable use

NodeLighthouse is for lawful web data collection. No fraud, no credential abuse, no targeting of protected systems. Business & static-ISP tiers require KYC.
