Switching
Moving a Bright Data setup to AeonProxy
Both put targeting into the proxy login, so most setups move by rewriting the login. Bright Data writes brd- and AeonProxy writes LOGIN- on gate.aeonproxy.com:7000 (SOCKS5 on 7001).
| Setting | Bright Data | AeonProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway | brd.superproxy.io:44445, SOCKS5 :22228 | gate.aeonproxy.com:7000, SOCKS5 :7001 |
| Country | -country-us | -cc-us |
| State or region | -state-ny | -st-newyork (slug from the Locations API) |
| City | -city-newyork | -city-newyork |
| Sticky session | -session-abc123, released after 5 minutes idle | -sid-abc123 plus -time- 60–21600 seconds (600 if left out) |
Switch in four steps
- Sign up and copy your proxy login and password from the Residential or Mobile page of the dashboard.
- Rewrite the Bright Data login: keep the country and city, swap the key names using the table above, and put the session time in seconds.
- Point your tool at
gate.aeonproxy.com, port 7000 for HTTP and HTTPS or 7001 for SOCKS5. - Check the exit with the proxy tester before moving a whole workload, then move it in parts.
