My tool says the proxies are invalid. What should I check?

First the format: a tool expecting host:port:user:pass will misread user:pass@host:port. Then the password: it must be exactly the one on the generator page. Finally test one line with cURL to separate a proxy problem from a tool problem.

How many lines should I generate?

For sticky, one line per task or account that needs its own IP. For rotating, a handful is enough, because every request already gets a new IP. Usage is billed per GB, not per line.

Can I use SOCKS5 in my tool?

If the tool supports SOCKS5, use port 11000 with the same username and password. Most list-based tools expect HTTP proxies, which is what the generator's lines use.

Residential proxies with Bot proxy lists

Many automation tools, including retail, ticketing and social media tools, take a list of proxies with one per line. The NodeLighthouse dashboard generates that list for you in the format your tool expects, with a separate sticky session on each line.

Your username and password are on the Proxy generator page after you sign in. Host gw.nodelighthouse.com: port 9000 rotating, 10000 sticky, 11000 SOCKS5.

Open the Proxy generator

Sign in and go to the Proxy generator. Your credentials are already filled in. Pick a country, and a state or city if you need one; targeting is included in the flat $1.65/GB price.

Choose sticky or rotating

Sticky lines use port 10000, and each line gets its own session, so your tool sees each line as a separate, stable IP for the lifetime you choose (1 to 1440 minutes). Use sticky for anything with a login, a cart or a checkout queue.

Rotating lines use port 9000 and get a new IP on every request, whichever line the tool picks. Use rotating for high-volume page fetching where each request stands alone.

Pick the format and the count

Generate 1 to 1000 lines in the format your tool asks for. host:port:user:pass is the default and the most widely accepted.

# host:port:user:pass (default)
gw.nodelighthouse.com:10000:<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us-lifetime-10-session-abc12345:<PASSWORD>

# user:pass@host:port
<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us-lifetime-10-session-abc12345:<PASSWORD>@gw.nodelighthouse.com:10000

# http://user:pass@host:port
http://<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us-lifetime-10-session-abc12345:<PASSWORD>@gw.nodelighthouse.com:10000

# user:pass:host:port
<USERNAME>-type-residential-country-us-lifetime-10-session-abc12345:<PASSWORD>:gw.nodelighthouse.com:10000

Copy or download, then import

Copy the list or download it as a .txt file, then paste or import it into your tool's proxy list. If the tool tests proxies on import, a working line returns a residential IP; you can also check any line with cURL as shown in the cURL guide.
