Hi, my name is Stan
and today we will be discussing
the Luminati residential proxy service.
Luminati is the largest
residential proxy provider
in the world.
They have over 37 million
residential IPs over the world,
and the number is increasing every day.
These IPs allocated in
around 223 countries
and over 20,000 cities.
So it's a very big
residential proxy service.
When using Luminati, you're
able to target your IPs
on a city, country and
even ISP and ASN levels.
So for example, if you need an IP
or an IP in New York from
a carrier called AT&T,
you're able to do it with Luminati.
As for prices, minimum package
start from $500 per month,
which includes 40 gigabytes of traffic,
and additional traffic can be purchased
at $12.50 per gigabyte.
And if you watch this video 'til the end,
we have a really nice present for you,
specifically from Multilogin.
When you purchase a
Luminati proxy service,
you will essentially get access
to their Luminati dashboard
and before you begin
integrating their proxy
with Multilogin or any other software,
you need to create a zone.
A zone is essentially a set of preferences
of how your proxies will behave.
Let me walk you through
how it works with Luminati.
We are here in Luminati Dashboard
and we need to simply
go to the Zones section
and click on Add Zones.
We will need to define
a zone name for this.
Let's place, for example,
ZoneTestMultilogin.
And choose a network type.
A network type is essentially
what proxy service you will use.
Luminati provides not
only residential proxies,
they also provide data center and mobile,
however, in this video,
we'll specifically talk
about residential ones.
Let's click on Residential.
Our monthly traffic is 40 gigabytes
and we can now choose how
these IPs will be targeted.
We can use Country, City and ASN.
Actually, Luminati have
recently rolled out
a very interesting feature
and it's called the Exclusive IPs,
which is very useful if you want
to assign specific residential IPs
to your social profiles.
However, we will talk
about this a bit later.
For now let's choose City, ASN,
and choose the IP type as Shared.
Let's click Save and Yes.
Okay, and so now the zone is created.
Once the zone is created,
we can now utilize it
in the integration with other services.
There are three main ways
on how you can connect Luminati service
to Multilogin or any other solution.
The first one is the proxy manager,
the second one is the super proxy
and the third is the extension.
In this video, we will specifically talk
about the proxy manager
and the super proxy
since these are one of
the most popular ways
on how our users utilize
it for integration.
Let's talk about the
Luminati Proxy Manager,
also called LPM.
An LPM is essentially a separate client,
a separate software that you
installed on your computer,
which you run in parallel with Multilogin
or any other solution.
Once you install it on your computer,
and launch it, it will be
opened on your localhost
and you will be able to
configure it via the browser.
Once you launch it, you will
see a dashboard like this.
And now you are ready to create a proxy
which you can use with
your Multilogin profiles.
Let's go ahead and create a new proxy.
Here we will need to choose
a zone that we have created.
Our zone is zonetestmultilogin.
There it is.
After that, we need to choose a preset.
A preset defines how
your proxy will behave.
We recommend using the default one,
especially if you're using it
to manage multiple social profiles.
This preset will enable
you to maintain the same IP
for as long as possible.
So we have chosen the
long single session IP,
the default settings, and click Save.
So now we have created the proxy 24005
and let's go and configure it
and target it to a specific city,
ISP and country.
I've opened the settings
and let's go to Targeting.
For Country, let's choose United States.
For State, let's choose New York,
and for City, let's also choose New York.
There it is.
And let's also choose a carrier.
I suggest we use Verizon.
Okay?
Now it's saved and let's go
back to the Overview section.
We have this proxy configured right here
and its status is OK,
and targeting is set to New York.
Yeah, and carrier as Verizon.
And now let's go ahead and
integrate it with Multilogin.
Before creating a new profile
and assigning a proxy,
we need to go to Plugins
and find the Luminati
plugin and activate it.
As you can see, it's already activated
on my side but you should be able
to see this Activate button right here.
When you're ready, we can now go ahead
and create a new browser
profile and set up the proxy.
I have the browser profile
created right here already
so we go to the proxy
settings of this profile,
and now we need to choose
connection type Luminati
and HTTP as a proxy type.
Now in the proxy host,
we need to define the
host of the proxy manager,
which is right here.
So I am adding this local
IP to the proxy host
and now we need to define the port,
which we have just created
and it's 24005, okay?
And let's check this
proxy where it connects.
As we can see, it's connected
to an external IP address
which is specified right here
and the country is US, and
the time zone is the one
which is used in New York.
Let's go and update the profile
and try to launch this profile
and see did it actually
connect to our residential IP
and if the carrier is indeed Verizon.
Let's go to whoer.net
and see what it shows us.
Okay, so the ISP here is Verizon Business,
so it is a residential proxy.
And as we can see,
yeah, it has connected
to an IP in New York.
Yeah, and the ISP is indeed Verizon.
Cool, awesome.
So that's essentially how LPM works
and you can create multiple proxies
for each of the profile
that you manage and create.
A second solution that our users utilize
is the super proxy.
Essentially, a super
proxy doesn't require you
to install a separate client on your PC
and you can simply use a proxy
which will connect to the Luminati servers
where the Luminati service
will then redirect it to an external IP.
And Luminati actually
showcases this very nicely
in their API examples.
I went to the Tools section, API Examples,
and Other Software.
I can actually choose a zone here as well
that we have just created.
Also remember, we need
to create a zone first
and then utilize it with any integration.
We'll choose the zone that we have created
which is zonetestmultilogin.
We can choose any country.
Let's choose United States.
Let's choose Basic API.
And leave it as it is.
And now, as you can see,
Luminati API Examples page instruct us
to add this proxy, this port,
this user and the password.
I have a profile created right here.
And I will show essentially
how it all here behaves.
So as you can see,
I have provided the host as the proxy,
the port which it gave me and
the login details right here.
Also the password is here.
The thing is with super proxy
is that you define
certain targeting levels
in the username itself.
So if you want this proxy
to connect to New York,
you will essentially need
to define it in the
username of this proxy.
As you can see, this login
actually has zone-zone3,
then it has the country, which is US,
and now we can define a city.
City-newyork.
And let's check how it works.
And it's indeed connected
to New York and US.
Let's update the profile,
launch it and see how it works.
Okay, so we are now connected
to United States IP address.
Let's go and see where did we connect to.
Yep, and it's connected to New York
and the ISP is Spectrum Business,
which is a residential provider.
You are most likely asking what solution
is it better to use?
Is it better to use the super proxy
or is it better to use the proxy manager?
With proxy manager, you have a variety
of different targeting tools.
It's a very versatile tool
on how you can specify how
your proxy will behave.
A super proxy is more of
a lightweight solution
that you can simply utilize
and the benefit of super proxy
is that if you are indeed
using sharing functionality
of Multilogin and sharing profiles
to your VAs or colleagues,
you can simply create a profile
and share it to your colleague
without them having to
install the LPM client.
There are some solutions
that Luminati claim
that you can actually set up the LPM
on a virtual server and then
proxify these connection,
however, this requires setup.
With super proxy, you are simply able
to create a profile,
share it to your
colleague, friend or client
and they will be able
to access those profiles
with the same IPs that you did before.
In conclusion, Luminati is one
of the largest residential
proxy provider in the world,
and you will get access
to more than 37 million
of residential IPs worldwide.
You also have these awesome ways
on how you can target your IPs
in different specific cities,
ASNs and even certain carriers.
There are some disadvantages as well,
and one of them being is that sometimes,
when you're using Luminati,
your IP change mid session,
and this will essentially, of course,
may sometimes affect the
longevity of your accounts.
However, Luminati has recently included
a very awesome feature
called Exclusive IPs, and they
are set in the Zones section.
You can simply go to Add Zone,
select a name, use Residential
and you have IP type called Exclusive
and it can essentially
define an exclusive IP
for a specific domain.
If you're using it for Facebook,
you can define Facebook domain here.
And allocate certain IPs
to this domain which will
rotate from time to time.
And this can increase
and solve this problem
of IPs sometimes changing mid session.
Another possible disadvantage of Luminati
is that they do not provide proxification
for certain domains like Google.
However, their support claims
that sometimes, for certain users
that they are able to make an exception.
So if you are trying to
do some Google services,
then it's wise to ask their support.
