## Quick start: from sign-up to a working proxy

Most customers have their first proxy working within a few minutes. Here’s the shortest path:

1. **Create an account and confirm your email**

   Enter your email and a password, then type the 6-digit code we send you. You can also sign in with a Google account.
2. **Add funds to your balance**

   Open **Wallet**, pick an amount, and pay with cryptocurrency or a credit/debit card. Purchases and renewals are paid from this balance. [More about the wallet](https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/wallet.md).
3. **Buy proxies**

   In **Buy proxies**, choose a proxy type, the number of IPs, countries, and a plan term. If you’d like to test first, pick the paid 48-hour trial as the term. [How the order form works](https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/buy-proxies.md).
4. **Add the IP you’ll connect from**

   Proxies accept connections only from IPs on your whitelist. The order form offers to add your current IP; you can add more on the service page at any time.
5. **Copy the proxy list and check the connection**

   Open the service in **My proxies**, pick a protocol and line format, and copy the list into your software. The **Check the connection** step shows whether requests are coming through. [Managing proxies](https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/my-proxies.md).

## Dashboard layout

The menu on the left groups the sections by task. The header holds the controls you need on every page.

| Menu item | What it’s for |
| --- | --- |
| Overview | Account summary: network status, active services, requests, upcoming charges, and anything that needs attention. |
| Buy proxies | The order form for datacenter, ISP, dedicated, and rotating proxies. |
| My proxies | All your services, each with its own page for connection details, statistics, and settings. |
| Analytics | Requests, bandwidth, errors, response times, and target websites across all services. |
| Wallet, Invoices | Balance top-ups, saved cards, auto top-up, transaction history, and invoices. |
| Tickets, What’s new | Support requests (the ticket system) and service announcements. |
| Verification | Optional identity check, needed only for card payments. |
| MCP server, API docs, API keys | Tools for managing your account from code or an AI agent. |
| Affiliate program | Commission for customers you refer. |

In the header, you’ll find the language switcher (15 languages), the light/dark theme toggle, notifications, your balance (click it to open the wallet, or hide the amount), and the account menu with Settings and Log out.

## Signing up and logging in

- **Sign-up.** After you register, we email a 6-digit code to confirm your address. If it doesn’t arrive, request a new one on the same screen.
- **Two-factor authentication.** If you turn on 2FA in **Settings** → **Security**, the login form also asks for a code from your authenticator app or one of your recovery codes.
- **Forgotten password.** Use **Forgot password?** on the login form; we’ll email a link to set a new one.
