How can I manage credentials and IP addresses within my proxy package on PrivateProxy.me?

Managing your proxy package on PrivateProxy.me involves understanding how credentials and IP addresses are configured and the options available for customization. You can do it by asking our managers in chat to update your username/password for you.

Overview of Proxy Package Management

Proxy packages on PrivateProxy.me are designed to simplify proxy management by grouping multiple proxies under a single package. However, this structure comes with certain constraints, such as shared credentials and package-wide IP management policies.

Additionally, you can add or reduce proxies within your package. To add proxies, purchase an extra proxy or package from your account, and the team can assign the requested location to the new proxy. To reduce proxies, decide which proxies to keep and manage your package accordingly from the Dashboard.

Managing Credentials

Shared Credentials

All proxies within the same package share the same credentials. This means that if you update the username or password for one proxy, the change will apply to all proxies in that package. This design ensures consistency and simplifies access management.

Using Different Credentials

If you require different credentials for individual proxies, you will need to order separate packages. Keep in mind that each package is billed independently. For convenience, you may want to align the billing dates of multiple packages.

Managing IP Addresses

Swapping All IPs

The "Swap" feature in your account allows you to replace all proxies in a package at once. This is a quick way to refresh your IPs but does not allow for selective changes.

Additionally, individual proxies can also be replaced upon request, providing more flexibility for specific needs.

Changing Specific IPs

If you need to replace only specific IPs within a package, this can be done upon request. While the user interface does not support this directly, the support team can assist in replacing selected IPs, offering flexibility for your specific requirements.

Billing Considerations

Each proxy package is billed independently. If you plan to order multiple packages for different credentials or IP configurations, consider aligning their billing dates for easier management. By understanding these policies and options, you can better manage your proxy packages to suit your specific needs.

Restoring or Renewing a Package While Retaining IPs

If you need to restore a deleted package or renew a previously canceled package while retaining the associated IPs, follow the steps outlined below. These processes ensure that your package and IPs are restored or reassigned efficiently.

Restoring a Deleted Package

To restore a package that has been deleted:

  1. Contact PrivateProxy.me Support: Notify the support team with the details of the deleted package.

  2. Confirm Restoration: Once the package is restored, proceed with the payment process. - You can either order the package first or specify your preferred payment method.

  3. Complete Payment: After payment is completed, the package and its associated proxies will be assigned and restored.

Renewing a Canceled Package

To renew a previously canceled package and regain the same IPs:

  1. Purchase a New Package: Buy a new package, ideally of the same size as the canceled one.

  2. Request IP Reassignment: Contact PrivateProxy.me and request that the IPs from your previous package be assigned to the new package.

Using Proxies with Routers

You can add a proxy server to your router; however, it may not route all traffic. For routing all traffic, a VPN or some type of tunnel is required. Note that PrivateProxy.me cannot provide guidance on setting up a proxy on a router.
