Proxies

BBDrop can route network requests through proxy servers. Proxies are configured globally and can be overridden per host.

Proxy Modes

Configure the global proxy mode in Settings > Proxy:

• No proxy (direct connection) — All requests go directly to the internet
• Use system proxy settings — Inherits your operating system’s proxy configuration
• Custom proxy configuration — Full control with proxy pools and per-category overrides

Custom Configuration

Proxy Pools

A proxy pool is a collection of proxy servers with a rotation strategy. Create pools for different purposes (e.g., “US Residential”, “Datacenter EU”).

Supported formats:

host:port
host:port:user:pass
http://host:port
http://user:pass@host:port
socks5://user:pass@host:port

Supported protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5

Rotation strategies:

Strategy	Behavior
Round Robin	Cycle through proxies sequentially (default)
Random	Pick a random proxy each time
Least Used	Use the proxy with the fewest recent requests
Weighted	Assign weights to prioritize certain proxies
Failover	Try the first proxy, fall back to the next on failure

Pool Options

• Sticky sessions — Keep the same proxy for a set duration (default: 1 hour)
• Fallback on failure — Automatically switch to the next proxy if the current one fails
• Max consecutive failures — Disable a proxy after this many failures (default: 3)

Bulk Import

Paste a list of proxies to import them all at once. BBDrop reports how many were added, how many were duplicates, and flags any invalid entries. Lines starting with # are treated as comments.

Testing

Click Test on a proxy pool to verify connectivity. It connects through the first proxy and confirms your external IP.

Per-Host Proxy

Each host (image or file) has a Proxy dropdown in its configuration dialog:

• OS System Proxy — Use the system setting
• Direct — No proxy for this host
• Any configured proxy pool

This lets you route different hosts through different proxies — for example, direct connection for image host APIs but a proxy pool for file host uploads.
