How to set up a BYOIP proxy / static IP in StocksDeveloper with AlgoIP

Bring your own IP to StocksDeveloper: add your dedicated AlgoIP address under My Proxies and validate it in one click.

StocksDeveloper frames this as BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP). Under Settings, then My Proxies, you add a proxy with a Label, Host, Port, Username and Password, then validate it. Your AlgoIP allocation is exactly the IP you bring.

Important: StocksDeveloper’s Port field often shows a 1080 placeholder, which hints at SOCKS. AlgoIP runs on Port 443 (HTTPS). Type 443 explicitly, do not leave 1080.

Credential mapping

Open your dashboard at /my-ips and pick the allocation you want to route through. Its card shows everything the four fields need: the proxy Host (your node hostname), your assigned static IPv4 and IPv6, the Port (443), your Username (the user_id value, which is your api_key and starts with aip_live_) and your Password (the password value, which is your api_secret and starts with aip_sec_). The same details are in your provisioning email. Keep the api_secret private, it is the password to your dedicated IP.

Steps

  1. Open Settings, then My Proxies. In StocksDeveloper, go to Settings and open My Proxies. This is the BYOIP screen where your proxies live.
  2. Click Add Proxy. Choose Add Proxy to create a new entry. You will get fields for Label, Host, Port, Username and Password.
  3. Fill in your AlgoIP details. Label is any nickname (for example "AlgoIP Mumbai"), Host is your node hostname or static IPv4/IPv6, Port is 443 (replace the 1080 placeholder), Username is your api_key (the user_id value, aip_live_...) and Password is your api_secret (aip_sec_...). Save.
  4. Validate All. Back on My Proxies, click Validate All. StocksDeveloper tests the proxy and marks it valid when the handshake to your dedicated IP succeeds.

Verify with Validate All

Hostname or static IP in the Host field?

Both work, on the same port 443 with the same username and password. The hostname (for example dc46-mum-01.algoip.in) is the default and gives you full capability, because the AlgoIP proxy serves both plain HTTP CONNECT and HTTPS (TLS to the proxy, also called TLS-in-TLS) on that one port.

Many traders instead paste their assigned static IPv4 or IPv6 straight into the Host field. That works everywhere the basic proxy mode is supported. The only thing a raw IP cannot do is TLS-to-the-proxy, because that handshake needs the certificate that matches the hostname. And TLS-in-TLS only matters at all if your tool or library can speak to an HTTPS proxy in the first place, which many GUIs and libraries (Python requests, for one) cannot. So for the large majority of tools, using the IP costs you nothing.

Rule of thumb: hostname = full capability; IP = works everywhere basic proxy mode is supported, just without TLS-in-TLS.
