# How do I set up HTTPS proxy authentication with Massive Network?

To authenticate using Massive Network's **HTTPS proxy**, follow these steps:

### **Step 1: Use the Correct Port**

* For **HTTPS proxy connections**, always use **port 65535**.
* Do not use ports assigned to other protocols, such as HTTP (65534) or SOCKS5 (65533).

### **Step 2: Run the Authentication Command**

Use the following `curl` command to authenticate your **HTTPS proxy** connection:

```bash theme={null}
curl --proxy https://network.joinmassive.com:65535 -U 'PROXY_USERNAME:PROXY_PASSWORD' https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace
```

* Replace PROXY\_USERNAME and `PROXY_PASSWORD` with your credentials.
* Retrieve your credentials from the **Profile section** of the Massive Network dashboard: [https://partners.joinmassive.com/profile](https://partners.joinmassive.com/profile).

### **Step 3: Generate a Custom Command (Optional)**

* For advanced customization (e.g., location targeting or protocol preferences), visit the **Quickstart section** in your dashboard: [https://partners.joinmassive.com/quickstart](https://partners.joinmassive.com/quickstart).

Use the **Massive Proxy Configurator** to create tailored commands based on your specific needs.
