Texau is a growth automation tool that helps businesses grow faster through data extraction, automation, and lead generation. It contains multiple automated processes that users can cater towards their preferences. With Texau, businesses can facilitate their own growth without much technical knowledge.

For you to effectively utilize Texau and avoid getting banned, you need to pair it with a Texau proxy. A proxy can enable you to do tasks such as automation and web scraping without websites detecting your use of an automation tool.

The best Texau proxies to pair with Texau would be private residential proxies. These types of proxies use actual residential IPs from real devices and you’re not sharing it with other users. Residential proxies would allow you to scrape even the strictest of websites like Facebook or Instagram.

Let’s set up a Texau proxy server.

How To Use Proxies With Texau

For Windows:

To set up proxies in Windows, simply search for “Proxy Settings” in your windows search bar and open the search result.

You are then given two options to choose from: Automatic proxy setup or Manual proxy setup. If you want windows to automatically detect your proxy settings, choose the first option. Choose the second option if you want to utilize a specific ip address and port number.

If you chose the first option, then:

  1. Turn on Automatically detect Settings
  2. Turn on Use setup script
  3. Enter the script address
  4. Click Save

If you chose the second option, then:

  1. Turn on Use a proxy server
  2. Input both server address and port number
  3. If you have any addresses you would like to visit without a proxy, enter them here
  4. Turn on Don’t use the proxy server for local addresses check box if you want to access a local server without a proxy
  5. Click Save

This should then redirect you to MacOS proxy settings. MacOS is more straightforward compared to windows. You only have one option which is to manually configure your proxy server.

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Select which proxy IP protocol you want to configure. This depends on which protocols your proxy service provider offers.
  2. Turn on Secure Web Proxy
  3. Input the Proxy Server Address and Port Number
  4. Click OK to save the configurations

Note: You may be prompted for your Mac user password to save your settings.
