NekoBox Proxy Setup (Windows): Manual Input of a Socks or HTTP Node

NekoBox on Windows adds a node through Manual Input. Set the type to Socks (version 5) or HTTP, type the gateway host in address and the port in port, fill the username and password in the authentication section and click OK. Start the node and switch on the system proxy to route Windows.

    Start the node and enable the system proxy

    Select the node and click the start button, then tick System Proxy in the toolbar (Tun mode for apps that ignore it). Open an IP lookup page in a browser to confirm the exit IP.

Check it

The URL test on the node row, then an IP lookup page in a browser after System Proxy is on.

Routing rules in NekoBox can send only chosen apps or domains through the node; by default everything uses it once the system proxy is on.

What to type: ports and the username

Copy the line from the dashboard (Proxies, your plan, the generator) rather than typing it: it already carries the host, the country, the session id and the session length. The table shows what each field holds.

ISP (dedicated IP)the plan page, one line per IPin the linein the linethe line's own login

The host and the password are in the same line. Pick HTTP or SOCKS5 in the tool and use the port of that column; a port from the other column is the most common reason a check fails. On Premium ISP city plans one port serves both types. USER and the session id stand for your own values.

Where the line comes from in the dashboard

  • QuanticData Premium ISP plan step: number of IPs 1 selected, $4.99 for 30 days and the Buy 1 IP button
    Step 3: the number of IPs, the price for 30 days and the Buy button. One IP is one antidetect profile.
  • QuanticData ISP plan page with the assigned IP, port, username and masked password, the protocol switch HTTP or SOCKS5 and the formatted output line
    After payment the plan is in My proxies: each IP comes as IP:Port:Username:Password, HTTP or SOCKS5, ready to paste into the tool.
  • QuanticData residential plan generator with country United States, Max pool, Sticky session of 30 minutes, HTTP, 10 sessions and the host:port:user:pass output format
    The plan page has the generator: country, pool, Sticky session with its TTL, HTTP or SOCKS5, then one line per profile in host:port:user:pass.

The whole buying flow, both routes and the prices are on the integrations page.

NekoBox (Windows) proxy questions

What customers ask when they put a QuanticData line into NekoBox (Windows).

Something else? Ask us

Socks or HTTP in NekoBox?

Socks with Version 5 and the SOCKS5 port, or HTTP with the HTTP port. The address and login are the same for both.

NekoBox connects but sites do not load. Why?

The type and port probably disagree, or the username and password are empty: NekoBox marks them optional, our gateways need them.

Is NekoBox the same as NekoRay?

NekoBox is the current name of the NekoRay project on Windows. The Android app with the same name has its own guide on this site.

Which QuanticData plan works best in NekoBox (Windows)?

For a whole device, a sticky residential or mobile line keeps one exit for up to 24 hours; a dedicated ISP IP never changes and has unlimited traffic, from $2.69 per IP for 30 days. NekoBox (Windows) takes either as a plain SOCKS5 or HTTP server.

Create an account, buy one ISP IP or a gigabyte pack, copy the line and paste it into the fields above. ISP from $2.69 per IP for 30 days, mobile from $5 for 1 GB.
