# 👋 Quick Start

Welcome to EProxies. This documentation is written for both human users and AI agents: every feature comes with a parameter table and copy-paste-ready code. If you are an AI agent, start with the [Agent Cheat Sheet](https://www.eproxies.io/docs/agent-reference).

## Get connected in 3 minutes

**Step 1: Create an account**

Sign up for free at [dashboard.eproxies.io](https://dashboard.eproxies.io) (one-click Google sign-in supported). New accounts include trial traffic — no credit card required.

**Step 2: Buy a plan**

Pick a plan on the [pricing page](https://www.eproxies.io/pricing). Residential Proxies are billed by traffic (GB) and can be purchased online; credentials activate instantly after payment.

**Step 3: Send your first request**

Grab your username and password from the Proxy Settings page in the dashboard, then replace `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` in the command below:

```bash
curl -x proxy.eproxies.net:23333 -U "USERNAME-pool-flow:PASSWORD" https://ipinfo.io
```

If the `ip` field in the returned JSON shows the proxy exit IP, you are connected.
