Create Your First ISP Proxy

Set up your first Bright Data ISP proxy: sign in, create a proxy in the Control Panel, verify your account and earn $5 credit for first-time setup.

Verify your account and get $5 credit

Add a payment method to verify your account and receive a $5 credit. You won’t be charged at this stage.

1. Sign in to Bright Data
2. Open the Create Proxy page

   Navigate to Create Proxy under the Proxy section in the left menu.

   
3. Choose ISP Proxy

   Select ISP Proxy and click Continue.

   
4. Assign a name to your proxy

   Enter a meaningful name. Optionally, add a short description.

   The proxy name cannot be changed once created.

   All other settings can be modified later. For details, see Configure your Proxy.

   
5. Add payment method (free trial users only)

   If you signed up with a personal email (e.g., Gmail, GitHub) and have not yet added a payment method, the primary button will read Add payment method instead of Create Proxy.

   Click the button to open the payment verification form and complete the process. You will not be charged, this is for identity verification only.

   Already have a payment method on file? This step is skipped automatically. For full details, see Payment Verification.

6. Finalize proxy creation

   Click Create Proxy. If you were redirected to add a payment method, your zone is created automatically once verification completes. Your proxy is now ready to use.
