How to set up proxies in Playwright

Step by step until Playwright runs through the GrowTech network. About five minutes.

Before you start

  • A GrowTech account with quota left (smallest purchase is 1 GB, from Rp 7.100).
  • Your proxy username & password, from Console → Access.
  • The application itself, installed and ready to open.

The settings you will need

Gateway addressproxy.growtechcentral.com
Rotating port823
Sticky port10000–29999
Concurrent connections5,000

The steps

  1. Make sure the Playwright library is installed in your project.
  2. Prepare the proxy address: proxy.growtechcentral.com port 823.
  3. Paste the snippet below and swap in your username & password.
  4. Run it. If the IP that comes back is not your own, you are connected.
  5. Want a held IP? Use any port in 10000–29999. Each port is one IP. Sticky session: the same IP is kept for several minutes, then it changes automatically.

If you get stuck

It keeps asking for a username & password
It wants your proxy username, not your website email. Get it from Console → Access. If you just rotated it, the old password stops working immediately.
Connected, but the IP never changes
You are on a sticky port. Port 823 rotates on every request; ports 10000–29999 deliberately hold one IP.
The target still refuses me
Try a cleaner pool (Residential Elite), or pin the country so your IP does not hop between countries mid-job.
The connection drops midway
Raise the tool timeout to 30 seconds. Home proxies run over real people networks, so they are naturally slower than a direct connection.
