Windows 10 and later natively support proxy servers like Nimble IP. The operating system manages server and port settings, while each application handles its own authentication credentials. By configuring Nimble at the system level, applications that respect system proxy settings will route their traffic through Nimble’s residential proxy network.

​
Follow these steps to integrate Nimble

1

Open Proxy Settings

  • Press the Windows key and search for “proxy settings”
  • Or navigate to Settings → Network & Internet → Proxy
2

Configure Manual Proxy

  • Scroll down to Manual proxy setup
  • Click Set up (or toggle Use a proxy server to ON on older Windows versions)
  • Enter the proxy configuration:
    • Proxy IP address: ip.nimbleway.com
    • Port: 7000
  • Click Save
3

Enter credentials in applications

Windows 10+ requires applications to manage proxy authentication individually. When you access a website through your browser, you’ll receive a prompt requesting your Nimble credentials:
  • Username: your pipeline username
  • Password: your pipeline password
In the Nimble User Dashboard, navigate to the Pipelines page to get your credentials.
Most browsers will remember your credentials after the first entry, so you won’t need to re-enter them for each request.

​
Alternative: IP allowlisting

Instead of using username/password authentication, you can allowlist your IP address:
  1. Log in to your Nimble Dashboard
  2. Navigate to your Pipeline settings
  3. Add your public IP address to the allowlist
  4. Connect to the proxy without credentials
This is useful for automated systems or when you prefer not to enter credentials.

​
Geo-targeting

To route requests through a specific country, modify your username: 
your-username-country-us    # Route through US
your-username-country-gb    # Route through UK
your-username-country-de    # Route through Germany

​
Disabling the proxy

To disable the Nimble proxy:
  1. Return to Settings → Network & Internet → Proxy
  2. Toggle Use a proxy server to OFF
  3. Or click Set up and disable the proxy
That’s all! Windows will now route web traffic through Nimble’s proxy network.
