# Hidemyacc

## Getting Started

Let’s get a few things ready first:

* [Download](https://hidemyacc.com/download) the **Hidemyacc** app.
* Create an account directly in the app (don’t use your browser—it won’t work).
* Make sure you’ve [port-forwarded your proxy](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-ips/for-macos-windows/configure-proxy) properly. This is important so your proxy actually works!

## Setting Up Your Proxy

Now let’s get your proxy running:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the **Hidemyacc** app and log in.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click “**Create new profile**.”

{% step %}
In the profile settings screen, head over to the “**Proxy**” tab.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose “**Your proxy**” — this opens the proxy setup section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select your proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Fill in your local IP address and port (from your port forwarding).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Hit “**Check proxy**” to make sure it’s working.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click “**Create**” or “**Update**” in the top-right corner to save your profile.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

You’re All Set! Just click “**Run**” and your profile will launch with your proxy active.

# 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/integrations/ip-based-residential-proxies/browsers/hidemyacc.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.
