ZennoPoster is already a powerhouse for SEO and automation pros. It turns tedious browser tasks into seamless workflows, all without a single line of code. Free templates, custom bots—you name it.

Setting up proxies in ZennoPoster transforms your work. Faster parsing. Smoother interactions with hosting services. Social media accounts created at scale without raising red flags. Tasks that once took hours—now done with speed and stealth.
You have options. Let’s show you two rock-solid ways to set proxies in ZennoPoster.
Set Proxies via ZennoPoster Templates
Launch Project Maker and Start a New Project
Open “Project Maker” and click “New Project.” This is your playground.
Add Browser Settings Action
Right-click inside the project workspace. Select Add action > Browser > Settings. This lets you configure browser-level proxy settings.
Connect “Start” to Your Settings
Draw a link from the “Start” node to your newly created “Settings” node. It’s simple but essential to the flow.
Choose “Set Proxy” in Action Properties
Inside “Action Properties,” pick “Set Proxy” from the dropdown. This activates proxy usage for your browser.
Input Proxy Credentials
Private proxies use this format:
protocol://username:password@IP-address:port
