Bright Data

Point a browser profile at Bright Data residential proxies. Three steps, no plugin, no proxy-auth extension.

Residential network addressed through one superproxy gateway, with the zone and every targeting option encoded in the username.

1. Get the credentials

In your Bright Data dashboard, open the residential product and copy the gateway host, the port, and the username and password. Everything below assumes those four values.

2. Build the proxy URL

One string, credentials included. Targeting and session options go in whichever half this provider puts them in - the table below says which.

http://brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>-country-us:<zone_password>@brd.superproxy.io:44445

3. Launch

Timezone, locale and WebRTC are derived from the exit address, so a US exit does not arrive with your own timezone attached.

await ab.launch({
  profile: 'acc-01',
  proxy: 'http://brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>-country-us:<zone_password>@brd.superproxy.io:44445',
})
launch(
    profile="acc-01",
    proxy="http://brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>-country-us:<zone_password>@brd.superproxy.io:44445",
)

Prefer not to run an account at all? Managed residential proxies are included on paid plans.

Parameters

Read off Bright Data's own documentation on 2026-08-28. Ports and endpoints differ by plan and by zone, so where this table and your dashboard disagree, the dashboard is right.

Gateway brd.superproxy.io
Ports 44445 in the current docs example. Your zone panel shows the port for that zone, and it is the one to trust.
Protocols HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. Ports 80 and 443 are available by default.
Options ride in the username
Country targeting -country-<iso2>, appended to the username
Sticky session Not published on the page above - see the provider docs
Session length Not published on the page above - see the provider docs

Worth knowing

  • The gateway only accepts IPv4 connections, whatever the exit address is.
  • Residential access is KYC-gated, so the credentials exist only after the account is approved.
