{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

You’ll now see the **Proxy Generator** panel, where you can configure your proxy authentication method, location, session type, and output format.

### 2. Select Authentication Method

Before generating proxies, you must choose how your connection will be authenticated.
&#x20;9Proxy provides two authentication options, depending on your setup:

* [**User-Pass Authentication**](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/proxy-generation/user-pass-authentication) - Recommended for most users; uses a Sub-User (username and password) to authenticate each request.
* [**IP Whitelisting**](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/proxy-generation/whitelisting-ips) - For static environments where requests are made from fixed IP addresses; no username or password required.

Once your authentication method is set up, you can proceed to:

* Configure your proxy location (country, city, ISP).
* Choose your session type (sticky or rotating).
* Generate your proxies and start connecting.

Click the relevant option above to follow the detailed setup guide.
