# Proxies

To create a proxy list simply create a new .txt file in the `proxies` folder. Input your proxies into the .txt file.

We will not be recommending a proxy provider.

For best results use AU proxies.

If you are using residential proxies, make sure your list of proxies are long e.g. 10,000.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The bot will not recognise if you have made proxy changes and you will need to restart or reload after making any changes.
