# Set Up a Non-Repeated Proxy

The **Not Repeat Proxy** feature ensures that proxies you have already purchased do not appear multiple times in your Proxy List, helping you manage your proxies efficiently and avoid duplicate assignments. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining an organized proxy pool and preventing unnecessary repetitions.

{% hint style="info" %}

### NOTE

The Not Repeat Proxy feature only works with proxies that you have purchased from 9Proxy.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure deduplication time

* Find the option labeled **Remove duplicates, non-acquired within a certain time**
* Choose a time frame between 1 to 24 hours for the deduplication process
* Once enabled, any proxy you buy will only appear once in the Proxy List within the selected time period

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Example usage of Not Repeat Proxy

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Search for proxies

* Open the **Proxy List** tab
* Enter your desired search criteria, such as `Country, State, or ISP`, and click **Search** to filter the available proxies
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Assign a proxy to a port

* From the search results, choose a proxy and right-click on it
* Select **Forward to Port** and assign it to your preferred port
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Navigate to the Forwarding List to view detailed information about the assigned proxy

You will see the purchased IP assigned to the port and its current status
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

If you refresh the Proxy List or request a new proxy, the previously purchased proxy will not appear again during the set deduplication time. This ensures that your proxy list remains clean, organized, and free from duplicates.

## 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/troubleshooting/set-up-a-non-repeated-proxy.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.
