{% 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**](/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/proxy-generation/user-pass-authentication.md) - Recommended for most users; uses a Sub-User (username and password) to authenticate each request.
* [**IP Whitelisting**](/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/proxy-generation/whitelisting-ips.md) - 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/proxy-generation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
