IP Whitelist is an authentication-free proxy access method provided by 1024Proxy.
In addition to the common Username & Password Authentication mode, the IP whitelist offers users a more convenient and efficient authorization solution.
By adding a trusted local outbound IP address to the IP whitelist, the system automatically identifies the source of the request.
As long as the request originates from an IP on the whitelist, users can directly call the API and use proxy IPs without including a username or password in the request, significantly simplifying the configuration process.
Core Advantages of the IP Whitelist
✅ No username/password required: No need to expose credentials in code or tools
✅ Simpler configuration: Ideal for fixed servers or cloud-hosted environments
✅ Secure and controllable: Only whitelisted IPs are allowed to access proxy resources
For users with a fixed outbound IP, the IP whitelist provides a more stable and secure proxy usage method.
Applicable Use Cases
The IP whitelist mode is particularly suitable for the following scenarios:
Automated Scripts and Crawlers
Avoid hardcoding usernames and passwords in code
Improve overall security
Enterprise or Multi-Project Usage
Multiple services access proxies through the same outbound IP
Centralized and easier management
High-Concurrency API Requests
Reduce authentication steps
Improve request efficiency and stability
Security-Sensitive Businesses
Prevent credential leakage or misuse
How to Use the IP Whitelist
1
Obtain Your Outbound IP
Before using the IP whitelist, first confirm the public outbound IP of your device or server.
You can obtain this by visiting an IP lookup website or running relevant commands on your server.
2
Add the IP to the Whitelist
Log in to the 1024Proxy user dashboard, go to the IP Whitelist / Security Settings page, add your public IP address to the whitelist, and save the settings.
Notes:
Only public IP addresses are supported
If your IP changes, be sure to update the whitelist in time; otherwise, proxy access will fail
3
Call the Proxy or API Directly
Once the whitelist has been successfully added, you can call the API in API mode. The system will automatically complete authentication based on the source IP of the request. After a successful call, the API will return an IP and port. We support two return formats, which you can choose according to your business needs.
This method is especially suitable for long-running programs and server-side applications, significantly reducing configuration complexity.
Usage Recommendations & Best Practices
Only add trusted, fixed IP addresses to the whitelist
Do not add dynamic IPs or public network IPs arbitrarily
Regularly review and remove unused whitelisted IPs
If using multiple servers, add each corresponding outbound IP separately
