Server Ports

WonderProxy's port numbering scheme allows you to select whether additional proxy headers are included. Ports with the same last two digits will use the same exit IP. The available ports are listed below:

PortDescription
13000 Used when connecting to proxy using encrypted connections. No headers are added in either direction.
12000 No headers are added in either direction.
10000 Deprecated: Full proxy headers are added to each request. X-Forwarded-For is sent to the server and X-Host-IP is returned to the client.
11000 Deprecated: No headers are added to the request sent to the destination server; the response includes an X-Host-IP header, providing the IP of the server that handled the request.
Requests that are transmitted via HTTPS are not modified by the proxy in any manner. The traffic remains encrypted as it passes through the proxy and no headers are ever added.

X-Host-IP

X-Host-IP is a header that we add for the 10000 and 11000 series ports. It will include the IP address of the destination server that serviced the request. This helps to identify the specific server that you're testing. If you'd like to be able to control which IP address a hostname resolves to, we have a Custom DNS feature available on our Enterprise plan.

Multiple IPs

For servers with multiple IPs you can select a different exit IP by adding 1 to the port number (up to the number of IPs the proxy has). So instead of using port 13000 you would use port 13001 or 13002.

Access to multiple IPs is limited to our Team Plan or higher. View plans.

Encrypted Connections

Encrypts your connection to the proxy server. Not compatible with client side SSL certificates (a rarely used but nifty technology).
