# Proxy mode moves to pm.scrape.do:8080

Proxy mode now runs inside the Scrape.do gateway, at a new address:

```
http://YOUR_TOKEN:PARAMETERS@pm.scrape.do:8080
```

It uses the same authentication, limits and logs as API mode. The old address, `proxy.scrape.do:8080`, keeps working until it is **switched off on April 30, 2027**.

## What to change

- **The host.** Replace `proxy.scrape.do` with `pm.scrape.do`. Your token, parameters and port stay the same.
- **Your own headers and cookies, if you send them.** `customHeaders` is now `false` by default, so Scrape.do generates the request headers. To forward your own headers and cookies to the target, add `customHeaders=true` to the password: `http://YOUR_TOKEN:customHeaders=true@pm.scrape.do:8080`. Browser automation through proxy mode (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium) usually needs it, so the browser's own cookies and user agent reach the website.
- **Nothing else.** The [Scrape.do CA certificate](/scrapedo_ca.crt) is the same, so there is nothing to reinstall, and every parameter costs what it did.

## One error looks different

A wrong or inactive token on an `HTTPS` target now fails while the connection is set up, with `407 Proxy Authentication Required` (curl: `CONNECT tunnel failed, response 407`). If you see it, check your token.

The [Proxy Mode documentation](/documentation/proxy-mode/) has the details and examples in eight languages.
