NekoBox Chain Proxy Guide (Windows)

If you already have a working overseas network environment, follow the "Configure NekoBox" section. If you do not, follow the "Chain Proxy" section first.

006ip provides residential proxy infrastructure for businesses, developers, and cross-border teams, including dynamic residential IPs and static residential IPs. The platform supports country/region and city-level targeting, plus dashboard options such as IP allowlists, authentication methods, and location modes—suitable for compliant data collection, localized page testing, price monitoring, ad verification, and maintaining cross-border business environments.

Static residential IPs offer long-lived fixed egress addresses and are a better fit when you need continuity and connection stability. This guide walks through registration, trial traffic, purchasing, exporting credentials, and configuring proxies in NekoBox (Windows).

2. Claim trial traffic

006ip currently offers a new-user trial: contact support to receive 1GB trial traffic for free. Eligibility, available products, and validity follow the campaign page and support reply.

Use trial traffic first to validate target regions, protocol compatibility, and business connectivity before choosing a paid plan.

3. Purchase static residential proxies

After signing in to the 006ip dashboard, open Static Proxies in the left sidebar, then choose ISP Proxies or Datacenter Proxies to enter the purchase page.

Step 1: Choose a purchase mode and set proxy attributes

The purchase page provides Quick Configuration and Custom Configuration. Both modes calculate pricing in real time based on your selections, but they fit different needs.

(1) Quick Configuration
ParameterDescription
Access TypeChoose Dedicated or Shared. Dedicated IPs suit stricter purity, stability, and isolation needs; Shared IPs suit cost-sensitive general access.
Country / region and cityTarget by country/region and city, or choose Random range for country-wide distribution.
PeriodPlans from 30–365 days; longer terms may include tiered discounts. Final pricing follows the purchase page.
Fixed configurationConnections (QPS), Bandwidth, and UDP use the default values shown on the page.

Step 2: Confirm the order and pay

On the checkout page, selected IP inventory is locked for 15 minutes. If payment is not completed in time, resources are released and you must place the order again.

Supported payment methods include:

  • Account balance
  • Online payment
  • Balance + online combined payment

If balance is insufficient, the available balance is applied first and the remainder can be paid online. Balance payments require your 006ip payment password. Available online channels and currencies follow the checkout page.

4. View and export proxy connection details

After payment succeeds, open My IPs to view purchased static IPs. The list shows bandwidth, QPS, UDP status, expiry, and resource state, and supports renew, disable, enable, and details.

006ip My IPs list

Before configuring NekoBox, export these four connection fields:

  • Proxy IP address
  • Port
  • Username
  • Password

On My IPs, click Export Credentials in the top-right corner and choose a format that fits your client. NekoBox can use:

IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD

Exported files contain plaintext credentials. Store the file securely and do not share credentials via public chats, screenshots, or untrusted channels.

006ip export credentials

For purchase, renewal, and export details, see the 006ip Static Proxy User Guide and the latest prompts in the dashboard.

Configure NekoBox

This section is written for NekoBox, a Windows proxy client based on sing-box. It supports SOCKS5 / HTTP and is convenient for residential proxy setup. Steps below are for Windows.

Complete the purchase flow above and have your proxy server address, port, username, and password ready. Install the latest NekoRay build as well.

Step 1: Prepare proxy connection details

Confirm you have:

  • Proxy server address
  • Port
  • Username
  • Password

Step 2: Add a proxy IP

Open NekoBox and follow these steps:

① Right-click and choose Manual Input

On the main window, right-click an empty area in the server list and choose Manual Input.

NekoBox right-click Manual Input

② Fill in node settings

In the Edit dialog:

FieldValue
TypeSocks (SOCKS5)
Nameproxy1 or any recognizable name
AddressYour proxy server address
PortYour port (e.g. 7778)

Then fill the Socks auth section:

FieldValue
Version5 (SOCKS5)
UsernameYour proxy username
PasswordYour proxy password

If your 006ip credentials are for HTTP, choose the HTTP type instead. SOCKS5 must use Socks with version 5. Protocol must match the dashboard or the connection will fail.

Click OK to save.

NekoBox edit dialog

Step 3: Confirm the node appears in the list

Back on the main window, the server list should show the new node as type Socks with the correct address and name.

NekoBox server list

For multiple exported accounts, repeat Step 2 for each line, then switch nodes as needed.

Step 4: Start the node and enable system proxy

Confirm both:

  1. Enable Tun and System Proxy: In the top toolbar, check Tun Mode and System Proxy (title bar shows [Tun+System Proxy])
  2. Select and start the node: Check the 006ip node in the list, then right-click → Start

After a successful start:

  • Title bar shows something like [Admin] [Tun+System Proxy] NekoBox ... [Socks] proxy1@Default
  • The node row shows test results and traffic counters
  • The bottom log shows connection activity

NekoBox start node

Open a browser and visit https://ipinfo.io or another IP lookup site. If the returned IP matches your purchased region, configuration succeeded.

IPinfo result example

If the check shows your local IP:

  1. Confirm Tun Mode and System Proxy are both checked
  2. Confirm the node is checked and started
  3. Confirm address, port, username, and password match 006ip exactly
  4. Confirm protocol type (Socks / HTTP) matches what you purchased

Step 5: Routing rules (optional)

To send only specific traffic through 006ip, open SettingsRouting, then add custom rules, for example:

Example ruleMeaning
Domain target-website.com → 006ip nodeOnly that domain uses the proxy
CIDR 10.0.0.0/8 → DirectLAN traffic bypasses the proxy
Default → Direct / other nodeRemaining traffic as needed

Only matching traffic goes through the 006ip proxy; other traffic keeps its original path.

Chain Proxy

If your current network cannot directly reach the target-country proxy server, you can configure a chain in NekoBox: first build a path through a reachable overseas upstream proxy, then connect to the downstream target-country proxy.

Path order:

Local machine → Upstream proxy (overseas node) → Downstream proxy (target country/region) → Target website

For example, use a Hong Kong node as upstream and a US static residential node as downstream. After configuration, websites should see the downstream US IP as the final egress, not your local IP and not the upstream HK IP.

1. Prepare two proxy node credentials

Prepare address, port, username, and password for both:

Node rolePurposeExample name
Upstream proxyFirst hop that must be reachable in your current networkproxy1-hk
Downstream proxyTarget country/region node and final business egressproxy2-us

Use a low-latency stable upstream node close to your location. Choose downstream country/region based on business requirements.

This section uses SOCKS5 nodes as examples. If your nodes are HTTP, choose HTTP type accordingly and ensure protocol matches provider details.

2. Add the upstream proxy

In NekoBox, right-click an empty area in the server list and choose Manual Input, then fill:

FieldValue
TypeSocks
Namee.g. proxy1-hk
AddressUpstream proxy server address
PortUpstream proxy port
Version5
Username / PasswordUpstream proxy credentials

Click OK to save.

Add upstream overseas proxy in NekoBox

The upstream proxy is hop 1 of the full chain. If it fails or has high latency, downstream proxy will also fail. Test it alone first.

3. Add the downstream target proxy

Again right-click an empty area in the server list, choose Manual Input, and fill:

FieldValue
TypeProtocol used by downstream proxy, Socks in this example
Namee.g. proxy2-us
AddressDownstream proxy server address
PortDownstream proxy port
Version5 for SOCKS5
Username / PasswordDownstream proxy credentials

Click OK to save.

Add downstream target-country proxy in NekoBox

After saving, both proxy1-hk and proxy2-us should appear in the list. Test both nodes separately and verify server, port, protocol, and credentials.

4. Create a chain proxy and set node order

Right-click an empty area in the server list, choose Manual Input, then:

  1. Set Type to Chain Proxy.
  2. Set name to chain-proxy (or any recognizable name).
  3. Click Select Configurations and add proxy1-hk and proxy2-us.
  4. Ensure order is proxy1-hk on top and proxy2-us below.
  5. Click OK to save.

Create chain proxy and set node order in NekoBox

NekoBox chain order is top to bottom, and the last node is the final egress. Keep proxy1-hk → proxy2-us. Reversing order may cause wrong egress IP or failures.

5. Start the chain proxy

Back in the main window:

  1. Select chain-proxy in the server list.
  2. Right-click it and choose Start. Confirm a ✓ marker appears.
  3. Enable Tun Mode and System Proxy at the top.
  4. Check logs for connection events and verify traffic counters on the chain entry.

Start chain proxy and enable Tun/System Proxy in NekoBox

Start chain-proxy itself, not proxy1-hk or proxy2-us individually. NekoBox will route through both nodes in the configured order.

6. Verify final egress IP

Open https://ipinfo.io (or another trusted IP checker) and verify:

  • IP matches the downstream proxy IP
  • Country/region matches your purchased target route
  • Result is neither your local public IP nor the upstream egress IP

IPinfo result example

If the result shows the target IP of proxy2-us, the chain is configured correctly. Slightly higher latency than single-hop mode is normal.

7. Common troubleshooting

SymptomWhat to check
Chain cannot startRe-check both nodes' address, port, protocol, username, and password; test upstream node first
Downstream keeps timing outConfirm upstream works in current network; try a lower-latency, more stable upstream node
Result shows upstream IPCheck whether downstream is missing from chain list or order is reversed; correct order is proxy1-hk → proxy2-us
Result still shows local public IPEnsure chain-proxy is started and both Tun Mode and System Proxy are enabled
Connected but slowChain adds one extra hop; use nearer/lower-latency upstream and avoid unnecessary proxy layers

UI names and button locations may differ slightly by NekoBox version. Follow your current client UI. Use proxies only for legal/compliant scenarios and follow website terms and local laws.
