Four practical guides with working code: from your first curl request to Scrapy middlewares, headless browsers and mobile IP rotation.

**Quick answer — How do I set up and use Nameless Proxy?**

Start with the [quick-start guide](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/quick-start/): create a 16-digit account number, top up your balance in crypto and buy a plan, then send traffic to `gw.namelessproxy.com` on port 7777 (HTTP) or 7778 (SOCKS5). **Nameless Proxy**, a privacy-first, no-KYC proxy provider, also has guides for Python, browser automation and mobile IP rotation. Residential traffic starts at $0.53/GB. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents.

## All guides

- **[Quick start](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/quick-start/)** — Account, crypto top-up, username targeting, HTTP and SOCKS5 with curl, sticky sessions, IP whitelist and a troubleshooting table for 407 errors and timeouts.
- **[Python proxies](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/python-proxies/)** — requests, httpx (sync and async), aiohttp and Scrapy, with one helper for targeted and sticky URLs, SOCKS5 via socks5h://, and retries on a new IP.
- **[Browser automation](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/browser-automation-proxies/)** — Playwright for Python and Node.js, Puppeteer with page.authenticate(), Selenium through a local forwarder, and one sticky IP per browser context.
- **[Rotate a mobile IP](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/rotate-mobile-ip/)** — Rotation link, POST API with a Bearer key, automatic timer, the 30-second limit and 429 handling, with bash and Python scripts.

## Which guide do I need?

| I want to… | Read |
| --- | --- |
| Send my first request and check the exit IP | [Quick start](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/quick-start/) |
| Target a country or city, or keep the same IP | [Quick start](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/quick-start/), username syntax table |
| Scrape with requests, httpx, aiohttp or Scrapy | [Python proxies](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/python-proxies/) |
| Run Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium through a proxy | [Browser automation](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/browser-automation-proxies/) |
| Change the IP of a dedicated 4G/5G port | [Rotate a mobile IP](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/rotate-mobile-ip/) |

## What do I need before I start?

Three things, none of them an ID document:

- **An account number.** Sign-up gives you a random 16-digit number; email and password are optional.
- **A balance and a plan.** Top up your balance in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC), then buy a plan from it: a 1 GB residential test costs $1.88 and a one-day 4G/5G port $2.63; see [pricing](https://namelessproxy.com/pricing/). Minimum top-up $25; unused balance stays on your account (never expires, non-refundable).
- **Your proxy credentials.** The client area shows the proxy username, password and endpoint as soon as you buy the plan.

Every guide uses the same gateway, `gw.namelessproxy.com`, and the same username format, `USERNAME-country-{cc}-city-{city}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}`. For what you can do with the proxies, see [use cases](https://namelessproxy.com/use-cases/); for the rules, the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://namelessproxy.com/acceptable-use/).

## Frequently asked questions

### Which guide should I read first?

The [quick-start guide](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/quick-start/). It covers the account, the payment, the username syntax and both ports, and every other guide builds on it. Once your first curl request returns an IP in the right country, move on to the Python, browser or mobile rotation guide that matches your tool.

### Do the code samples work as they are?

Yes, once you replace the placeholders: `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` with your proxy credentials, and `API_KEY` and `PORT_ID` for mobile ports. The gateway host and ports in the samples are the real values. Each sample is short and uses common libraries such as requests, httpx, Playwright and curl.

### Is there a guide for dedicated mobile ports?

Yes. [Rotate a mobile IP](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/rotate-mobile-ip/) covers the rotation link, the API, the timer and the 30-second limit. Sending traffic through a port works like the quick start, with the host, port, username and password shown for that port in the client area.

### Where can I get help if a guide does not work?

Check the troubleshooting table in the quick-start guide first; most problems are a wrong port, a typo in the username or a password that needs URL-encoding. Then open a ticket in the client area or write to support@namelessproxy.com. Support replies within 12 hours. Never send your password.
