Most people never need this page. Every plan includes checks from our servers through our own proxies, with nothing to set up.

A proxy sends a monitor's checks out through a different internet address. Adding your own is for people who want more monitors running from our servers than their plan includes, or who watch a shop that keeps turning our addresses away.

Cloud monitors

A monitor that runs on our servers through our proxies is called a cloud monitor. Free runs 1 cloud monitor at a time, Standard 10 and Power User 50. One more than that is saved paused until you choose which one runs.

Three kinds of monitor don't count towards the number: one with a proxy group of your own, one that runs in your own browser with the Chrome extension, and Pokemon Center queue alerts.

Adding your own

1. Go to Proxies and press New Group. Give the group a name.
2. Press the Add proxies button on the group and paste your list, one proxy per line.
3. Edit a monitor and choose the group under Your own proxies (optional). That box only appears once you have a group.

A line can be ip:port, ip:port:user:pass or user:pass@ip:port, with http:// or socks5:// in front if that is how your provider gives them.

StockWatch spreads a monitor's checks across the group and shows how each proxy is doing: how often it gets through, how quick it is, and how often it has been blocked. The copy button on a group puts the whole list on your clipboard.
