# Configure Proxy

This section explains how to view available proxies, filter by location, forward proxies to ports, and check your forwarding list.

## 1. View the Proxy Forwarding Interface

To open the proxy forwarding interface, type:

```
9proxy proxy -u
```

You will see a list of available proxies from your account.

To filter proxies by location or ISP:

* Press F.
* Choose your desired filter criteria (Country, State, City, ZIP code, or ISP).
* Press **Done** to apply filters.

## 2. Forward a Proxy to Ports

From the proxy list, use the arrow keys to select the proxy you want, then press Enter.

You will see two options:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="186.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Forward to all ports</strong></td><td>Forwards the selected proxy to all ports within your configured port range. (See Port Configuration for setup instructions.)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Forward to a port</strong></td><td>Forwards a single proxy to one specific port in your port range.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Select your preferred option and press Enter.

Once done, the proxy will be successfully forwarded to the chosen port(s).

## 3. Quick Commands for Proxy Forwarding

If you prefer using terminal commands, you can forward proxies directly without opening the UI.
\
This is useful for automation, scripting, or quick setups on headless Linux servers.

Each command follows this structure:

<pre data-overflow="wrap" data-line-numbers><code>//command

9proxy proxy [options]

[options]: 
-c : Specify the country of the proxy you want (e.g., US, VN, UK).
-p : Specify the port number to forward the proxy to.
-n : Use a proxy from the Today List (proxies you’ve used in the last 24 hours).

### Example 1: Forward a US Proxy to a Specific Port

9proxy proxy -c US -p 60000

# This command forwards a US residential proxy to port 60000.
# Use when you want a proxy from a specific country.
# The proxy will immediately start running on 127.0.0.1:60000.

# How to test:
curl -x socks5://127.0.0.1:60000 https://ipinfo.io/json

# If successful, the result will show an IP address located in the United States.

### Example 2: Forward Any Random Proxy

9proxy proxy -p 60000

# This binds a random available proxy (any country) to port 60000.
# Use when location doesn’t matter
# The proxy connects immediately once assigned.
# Tip: If you want multiple random proxies, just change the port number each time ## (e.g., 60001, 60002, …).

### Example 3: Forward a Proxy from the Today List

9proxy proxy -n -p 60000

<strong># This reuses a proxy that was previously active within the last 24 hours.
</strong><strong># Saves IPs because you don’t consume new ones.
</strong><strong># Ideal if you want to reconnect to the same session as earlier.
</strong># Your proxy from the Today List is now active again on port 60000.

## 4. View Forwarding List

To see all proxies currently forwarded to ports, use:

```

9proxy proxy -n -u

```

This displays all proxies you’ve forwarded, along with their assigned ports and status.

## 5. Other Useful Commands

{% hint style="info" %}

## &#x20;Note

* Ensure your port range is configured before forwarding proxies.
* The Today List shows proxies used in the last 24 hours - forwarding from here allows you to reuse active proxies without extra cost.
* For help, type 9proxy -h or contact support.
