# 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.

### NOTE

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

{% 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.
