You first need a list of functioning proxy IP addresses. These are typically listed in the format IP:PORT (e.g., 192.168.1.1:8080). You can find updated lists on tech forums or dedicated proxy sites. Look specifically for "Elite" or "High Anonymity" proxies for the best results.
Sites like proxy-list.download or hidemy.name maintain automated lists. Search for "Kickass" within their database. Look for SSL-enabled proxies (HTTPS) with low latency (<500ms).
You can "install" a proxy list into your terminal session: proxy kickass list install
# For HTTP proxy (temporary)
export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.100:8080
export https_proxy=https://203.0.113.5:3128
There is no single "installer" for a proxy list. Instead, you install the configuration. Below are the three most common methods.
Once installed, your proxy list kicks open these doors:
| Platform | Region-Locked Content | Proxy Type Needed | |----------|----------------------|-------------------| | Kick.com | Regional chat rooms, exclusive IRL streams | Residential (US/UK) | | Netflix | Different libraries (Japan has Ghibli, US has Star Trek) | Streaming-optimized | | BBC iPlayer | British TV shows | UK-based proxy | | Spotify | Cheaper premium via Argentina/Turkey proxy | SOCKS5 | while read proxy; do if curl -s -m
Choose one of these common setups:
Browser (temporary)
System-wide (macOS)
System-wide (Windows)
Command line (curl)
For SOCKS5:
curl --socks5-hostname IP:PORT https://example.com
Proxy chaining or rules (advanced)
The word "install" is slightly misleading—you are not installing software, but rather configuring your browser or operating system to use the proxy list.
