Datacenter Proxies Quick Start Guide
Datacenter Proxies
Quick Start Guide
Blurpath datacenter proxies are dedicated static IPs hosted in commercial colocation facilities rather than on household connections. They are not shared with other customers, they keep the same address for the whole rental period, and they carry far more bandwidth per IP than a residential line — which is why they are the usual choice for high-volume crawling, uptime monitoring and API testing where the target does not screen datacenter ranges.
In this guide you can learn more about how to purchase and use Blurpath datacenter proxies.

Using Datacenter Proxies
You can verify a datacenter proxy by running a cURL command in a terminal or in your scripting environment. The command below asks http://myip.ipip.net which address the request appears to come from.
curl -x IP:Port -U "td-customeI-USERNAME:PASSWORD" http://myip.ipip.net
Please note:
- Replace IP:Port with the address and port shown in your proxy list
- Replace USERNAME:PASSWORD with the proxy credentials you created in the Blurpath dashboard
