# IP Skipping

{% hint style="info" %}
To enable this feature, please contact support.
{% endhint %}

The IP skipping feature enables you to compile multiple lists of IP ranges that will be automatically bypassed during the IP resolution process for your proxy connection.

To enable this feature you will need to add the `_skipipslist-` key, value of the key is **ULID** (id) of the generated list.

Example:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```
curl -v -x http://username123:password321_country-br_skipipslist-01GRBHR1DMBFRH8VW7APEWD5BQ@geo.iproyal.com:12321 -L http://example.com
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PHP" %}

```php
<?php
$username = 'username123';
$password = 'password321_country-br_skipipslist-01GRBHR1DMBFRH8VW7APEWD5BQ';
$proxy = 'geo.iproyal.com:12321';
$url = 'http://example.com';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
    echo $response;
}

curl_close($ch);
?>
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPProxyAuth

username = 'username123'
password = 'password321_country-br_skipipslist-01GRBHR1DMBFRH8VW7APEWD5BQ'
proxy = 'geo.iproyal.com:12321'
url = 'http://example.com'

proxies = {
    'http': f'http://{proxy}',
    'https': f'http://{proxy}',
}

auth = HTTPProxyAuth(username, password)

response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, auth=auth)

print(response.text)
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Node.js" %}

```javascript
const http = require('http');

const username = 'username123';
const password = 'password321_country-br_skipipslist-01GRBHR1DMBFRH8VW7APEWD5BQ';
const proxyHost = 'geo.iproyal.com';
const proxyPort = 12321;
const targetUrl = 'http://example.com';

const targetUrlObj = new URL(targetUrl);
const targetHost = targetUrlObj.host;
const targetPath = targetUrlObj.pathname;

const auth = 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(`${username}:${password}`).toString('base64');

const options = {
  host: proxyHost,
  port: proxyPort,
  method: 'GET',
  path: targetUrl,
  headers: {
    'Host': targetHost,
    'Proxy-Authorization': auth
  }
};

const req = http.request(options, (res) => {
  let data = '';

  res.on('data', (chunk) => {
    data += chunk;
  });

  res.on('end', () => {
    console.log(data);
  });
});

req.on('error', (error) => {
  console.error('Error:', error.message);
});

req.end();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

For further information on how to create and manage these lists, please refer to the 'IP Skipping' subsection located within the 'Dashboard' section of our documentation.
