{% hint style="info" %}
**You can find a proxy setup example in the [Setup guide](../../getting-started.md) section**
{% endhint %}

## **Checking operation**

After specifying the connection settings, you can check functionality by sending a request to ifconfig.me.

```
proxychains curl ifconfig.me
```

**If the check confirms that your IP address has changed, you can now start using your proxies!**
