# Setup instructions

## **Adding a proxy list from the order to programs**

To add proxies to different programs, open your [order](https://dashboard.proxyshard.com/products) on the website and copy the proxies:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note that in all examples, the connection is made through&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**SOCKS5**</mark>**.**\
\
**To find the connection port for:**\
\ <mark style="color:purple;">**Datacenter\ISP**</mark> - set the switch to <mark style="color:purple;">SOCKS5</mark> in the <mark style="color:purple;">Proxy list</mark> field

<mark style="color:purple;">**Mobile proxy**</mark> - no additional actions are required in the order; the port connection works through both <mark style="color:purple;">HTTP</mark> and <mark style="color:purple;">SOCKS5</mark>
{% endhint %}
