Proxies for DuckDuckGo

Route DuckDuckGo through a FlameProxies IP for private browsing and accurate region checks.

DuckDuckGo and FlameProxies

Browsing in DuckDuckGo on your own connection ties every request to your home IP and your real location. That is fine until you need to see a site the way a user in another country sees it, or you would rather not hand your address to every host you load.

Pointing DuckDuckGo at a FlameProxies proxy changes the address the web sees and leaves everything else about the browser alone. Pick the country you want to appear from, apply it, and pages resolve with that region's pricing, language and availability.

How to set up FlameProxies with DuckDuckGo

  1. 1

    Pick a plan and open the generator

    Create a FlameProxies account, choose residential, static ISP, datacenter, IPv6 or mobile bandwidth, then open the proxy generator in your dashboard.

  2. 2

    Generate the proxies you need

    Select a country (and city where the pool supports it), choose rotating or sticky sessions, and copy the list. Every line comes back as proxy.flameproxies.com:8989:username:password, which is all the fields below ask for.

  3. 3

    Open the proxy settings DuckDuckGo uses

    DuckDuckGo either reads your operating system's network proxy settings or hands them to an extension. Open whichever applies and set the connection to a manual HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy.

  4. 4

    Enter the server and credentials

    Server proxy.flameproxies.com, port 8989, then the username and password from your generated line. Save the settings, and restart the browser if it does not pick them up immediately.

  5. 5

    Confirm the exit IP before you work

    Run the proxy test inside DuckDuckGo if it has one, then load an IP lookup page through the connection. The country and ISP it reports should match what you generated - if it shows your own address, the traffic is not going through the proxy yet.

Frequently asked questions

Which proxy type should I use with DuckDuckGo?

Residential IPs are the safe default when a site scores how trustworthy your connection looks. Static ISP proxies suit long-lived logins that should keep the same address, and datacenter proxies are the cheapest option for targets that do not push back.

Which protocols and authentication methods are supported?

HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with username and password authentication or IP whitelisting. Any tool that accepts a standard proxy string will accept FlameProxies.

Can I keep the same IP across a session?

Yes. Generate sticky sessions when you need an address to persist, or rotating proxies when you want a new IP per request. Both are options in the same generator.

How is bandwidth billed?

Plans are pay-as-you-go: you buy bandwidth up front, use it at your own pace, and it does not expire. There is no monthly contract to cancel.
