Here you have a step by step guide with screenshots to guide you through the required configuration on each browser.
Get your proxy IP and port
First, log in to your account and go to your purchased proxies.
Get the IP and Port of the proxy server you want to use. These are the credentials you’ll be adding in the browser’s proxy settings.
Choose your authentication method
To connect to the proxy server, you need to choose one of the two authentication methods: By using a username and password or through IP Authentication.
On the right column you can see the Proxy Credentials tab used for the user password authentication and the Authentication IPs tab used for the IP authentication.
Username & password authentication
If you choose to authenticate by using a username and password, you’ll be asked to provide the credentials after you configure the browser to use the proxy server. A pop up window will open when you’ll access a web page (you’ll find a screenshot of this request in the following guides for each browser).
You can find the username and password in your account under the Proxy Credentials tab.
The username is your account’s username and it can’t be changed. You can change the password by clicking on the passoword’s field and typing in the desired password. The change will take place automatically.
*This password is different from the password you use to log into your account.
IP authentication
Through this method, the authentication to the proxy server will be made based on your IP without it requesting a user password.
To add your own IP to IP manager access the Authentication IPs tab and click on Add More.
A new window will pop up. Click on Add own IP and your IP will be pulled automatically.
To save it, click on Add.
The IP will be shown in your account in the Authentication IPs tab. You can delete the IP by clicking on the X next to it.

What Is a Proxy Manager? – Small Business – Chron.com
A proxy manager is software designed to manage a computer network’s proxy servers, write and implement their policies and filter resource requests. Proxy servers act as a gatekeeper for your company’s computer terminals and the Internet, ensuring security and productivity. Proxy servers can be configured with various policies to limit access to certain websites or materials and to more efficiently manage networking traffic. Administrative Control One of the more valuable business uses of a proxy server is to grant supervisory control over what resources are accessed. This includes adding filters to block certain websites, such as those containing pornographic or objectionable material or those administrators have noticed as a distraction. They can also enable administrators the ability to log user-side network activity and Internet activity. Caching Another useful feature of proxy servers is caching. When a resource, like a news website, is accessed several times, the server caches the information and stores it. When a new request comes in for the same resource, the cached material can be forwarded instead of actually connecting the user to the resource’s host page. This results in faster access to these materials, at the cost of occasionally receiving out-of-date cache files instead of accurate representations of the resource at present. Security Proxy servers also increase security on the network. By blocking certain resources and websites, your company can limit the risk of viral infection or picking up other malware. Filters can also be applied to incoming email, limiting the ability of users to open attachments and therefore reducing the risk of infection via email. Sabotage and espionage may also be detected and impeded, as suspicious user activity can be logged and monitored, and eventually blocked. Considerations For all of their benefits, proxy servers are not infallible. Sophisticated users may be able to use proxies of their own to bypass the server’s limitations and access restricted materials, or operate without their activities being monitored. The limitations imposed by proxy servers may also make unexpected or unorthodox resources unavailable, especially if a resource whitelist of “approved” resources is used instead of a blacklist of “prohibited” resources. Proxy server monitoring and limitations may also have negative effects on staff morale, due to the implication of mistrust or limits on resource access.
