Practical examples demonstrating how to use the proxy product with different options.
This includes sample commands and scripts using popular tools like cURL.
Host and port should be kept as are rs.magneticproxy.net and 80/1080, respectively. Then, you only need to update proxy_user and proxy_pass values.

MagneticProxy supports HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocols:
Protocol
Description
http / https
Standard HTTP/HTTPS proxying. Suitable for web traffic and tools like browsers or cURL.
socks5
SOCKS version 5 with client-side DNS resolution (the client resolves the destination IP).
socks5h
SOCKS version 5 with proxy-side DNS resolution (the proxy resolves the destination domain). The h in socks5h stands for “hostname resolution on the proxy.
Prefer socks5h if you want to hide the destination domain from the client network, if the proxy needs to resolve private or internal domains, or if you’re operating behind firewalls or VPNs where local DNS resolution may fail.
Use the following format to specify your proxy connection: <protocol>://<host>:<port>
