## Why Use Toolip on Ubuntu?

Routing traffic through Toolip proxies on Ubuntu gives you enhanced privacy and the ability to access content from specific locations. Whether you're running scripts, managing remote servers, or using CLI tools, Toolip ensures secure and efficient connections.

<Tip>
  Targeting search engines like Google, Bing, or Yandex requires a specialized proxy to ensure stable access and avoid blocks. **Toolip’s Search Engine ISP Proxies** are designed specifically for this, providing reliable performance where standard proxies may fail. If your proxy test isn't working on search engines, switching to **Search Engine ISP Proxies** can resolve the issue.

## How to Set Up Toolip on Ubuntu

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Your Terminal">
    Press **Ctrl+Alt+T** to open the Terminal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Proxy Environment Variables">
    1\. Replace `[HOST]`, `[PORT]`, `[USERNAME]`, and `[PASSWORD]` with your Toolip details.

    2\. Run the following commands:

    ```bash theme={null}
    export http_proxy="http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]"
    export https_proxy="http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]"
    ```

    3\. If you're using SOCKS5 proxies, use this command instead:

    ```bash theme={null}
    export socks_proxy="socks5://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]"
    ```

    4\. If you need a country-specific exit node, modify `[USERNAME]` accordingly (e.g., `your-username-country-US`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Your Proxy Configuration">
    1\. Test the proxy setup by running:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl http://httpbin.org/ip
    ```

    2\. If configured correctly, the output should display the IP address assigned by Toolip.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make Proxy Settings Persistent (Optional)">
    1\. Open the `.bashrc` file in your home directory:

    ```bash theme={null}
    nano ~/.bashrc
    ```

    2\. Add the following lines at the end of the file:

    ```bash theme={null}
    export http_proxy="http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]"
    export https_proxy="http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]"
    export socks_proxy="socks5://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]"
    ```

    3\. Save and exit (`Ctrl+O`, `Enter`, `Ctrl+X`).

    4\. Reload the file to apply the changes:

    ```bash theme={null}
    source ~/.bashrc
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
