Port Forward

Port forwarding opens a proxy you bought on a local port of your computer (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8870). A third-party app (anti-detect browser, scraper, script, etc.) just points to this local address to use the proxy — no proxy username or password needed.

Each IP maps to one local port, which is handy when you need to give different apps or accounts their own proxy.

Step 1: Create a Local Forward

1. Open Rola Connect and sign in.
2. Check the IP(s) you want to forward in the list (multi-select is supported — you can create several at once).
3. Click "Create Local Forward" at the bottom. After it succeeds, click "Port Forward List" in the top right to see the local port assigned to each IP.

💡 Tip

Each IP you check gets its own local port. The forward list shows the mapping between "local address:port" and the proxy IP.

Step 2: Get the Local Address and Port

In the "Port Forward List", each proxy IP has a matching "Connection Address" and "Local Port". What the third-party app connects to is exactly this 127.0.0.1:local port (HTTP / SOCKS5 supported).

💡 Tip

Note down the connection address of the IP you want (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8870). This is a local address, not the proxy's real IP — requests first reach the local port, then the client forwards them to your chosen proxy exit.

Step 3: Fill It Into the Third-Party App

In the app's proxy settings, enter the following (using an "Add Proxy" dialog as an example):

• Protocol: SOCKS5 (or HTTP)
• Host: 127.0.0.1
• Port: the local port for this IP from the list in the previous step (example: 8870)
• Username / Password: leave empty

Then use the app's own "Test" button. If it shows the exit IP and location, the connection works.

⚠️ Note

• The local port only works while Rola Connect is running; closing the client drops the forward.
• If it won't connect, check that the port is correct and the client is running; the protocol can be either SOCKS5 or HTTP — local forwarding supports both.
