# Proxies Page

The proxies page is where you set up proxies. The bot uses these proxies to avoid ip bans and bot protection blocking. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Proxies aren't required to run the bot
{% endhint %}

![](/files/-M4u09CDBXu92ZxCPRsX)

Input your proxies line by line in the text field. Put the name of your proxy list in the list name input and click save.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both ip:port and ip:port:user:pass proxies are supported
{% endhint %}

To edit a proxy list, choose it in the load list box, make changes, and then click save.
