Connect Bright Data proxies

A zone of the proxy type you bought. In Bright Data terms a zone is one proxy product with its own name and password, and the login is built from the zone name.

Bright Data opens its residential network only after its compliance team approves the account (KYC), and says it is available to verified companies only. This covers every residential type, including shared and dedicated.

Every zone uses the same host and port. The zone is chosen by the login, not by the address.

The login is brd-customer-, then your customer ID, then -zone-, then the zone name. The password is the zone password. Bright Data shows the username, password and host in the Overview tab of the proxy product.

Settings ride in the login after the zone name: -country-de picks Germany, -city-berlin picks a city inside that country, -session- followed by any string of yours keeps one address for that string.

For a profile this means one session string per profile. Give the seventh profile the session profile7, and every launch asks Bright Data for the same address. A new address is a new string.

The line below is written in the host:port:login:password shape. Put your own customer ID, zone name and zone password in place of the capital letters.

   The Proxies tab in the left column.

   Lines that could not be read are listed word for word.

The Proxy cell of a profile in the list opens the proxy picker. New proxy as a line… at its bottom takes the same line, shows how it was read, and Add and assign saves it to the library and gives it to that profile.

Bright Data opens target sites on ports 80 and 443 by default and, on its datacenter network, every port above 1024. Other ports need a request, and each request goes through its compliance review.

Everything about the Bright Data control panel on this page comes from the three Bright Data documentation pages linked below, checked on 2026-09-28. If Bright Data changes a host, a port or a parameter, their page is right and this one is late.
