> [!TIP]

> Targeting search engines like Google, Bing, or Yandex requires a specialized proxy to ensure stable access and avoid blocks. **Toolip’s Search Engine ISP Proxies** are designed specifically for this, providing reliable performance where standard proxies may fail. If your proxy test isn't working on search engines, switching to **Search Engine ISP Proxies** can resolve the issue.

**4. Authenticate When Prompted**

Windows does not store your proxy username and password directly. When prompted by an app or browser:

1\. Enter your Toolip **Username** and **Password** to authenticate.

2\. If a browser pop-up requests credentials, simply input your details to continue securely.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you need country-specific proxies, format your username as `your-username-country-XX` (e.g., `your-username-country-US`) to route traffic through a specific country.

Your Windows device is now configured to use Toolip proxies. Enjoy enhanced privacy, secure browsing, and unrestricted access to the internet. Whether you’re streaming, working, or browsing, Toolip has you covered!
