# 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;">**Residential proxy**</mark> - in the order settings, set "<mark style="color:purple;">Protocol</mark>" to <mark style="color:purple;">SOCKS5</mark>

<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 %}

## Example for <mark style="color:purple;">Datacenter/ISP</mark> proxies

Open the [order](https://dashboard.proxyshard.com/products) and copy the proxy from <mark style="color:purple;">Proxy List</mark>.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.proxyshard.com/eng/usage-instructions/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
