Overview

LumiTeh provides a flexible proxy system, allowing you to manage how your automation traffic is routed across the internet. Whether you need anonymity, geolocation control, or enhanced reliability, LumiTeh makes it easy to incorporate proxies into your workflows.

​Configuration Options

With LumiTeh, you can:

• Use built-in proxies: Easily route traffic through our managed residential proxies

• Bring your own proxies: Use custom HTTP/HTTPS proxies for more control over network routing

• Combine multiple proxies: Set custom routing rules to direct traffic through different proxies based on domain or location

Proxies are configured when creating a session via the API or SDK.

​Built-in Proxies

Use LumiTeh’s built-in proxies to route traffic through managed residential proxies. This is the simplest option and requires minimal setup. Setting proxies=True will attempt to use a US-based proxy. If nearby US proxies are unavailable, traffic may be routed through nearby countries, such as Canada.

from lumiteh_sdk import LumiTehClient

lumiteh = LumiTehClient()

# Start a session with built-in proxies
with lumiteh.Session(proxies=True) as session:
    _ = session.observe(url="https://www.lumiteh.io/")

the proxies parameter can also be customized to use a specific country proxy as follows:

from lumiteh_sdk.types import LumiTehProxy

proxies = LumiTehProxy.from_country("fr")

​Custom Proxies

LumiTeh supports custom proxy configurations, enabling you to route traffic through your own HTTP or HTTPS proxies. This is useful for enforcing specific network routing rules, complying with security policies, or optimizing performance with a preferred proxy provider.

from lumiteh_sdk import LumiTehClient
from lumiteh_sdk.types import ExternalProxy

lumiteh = LumiTehClient()

# Configure custom proxy settings
proxy_settings = ExternalProxy(
    server="http://your-proxy-server:port",
    username="your-username",
    password="your-password",
)

# Start a session with custom proxy
with lumiteh.Session(proxies=[proxy_settings]) as session:
    # use your session
    pass

​Usage Measurement

Proxy usage is measured by the total data transferred through the proxy. This includes:

• Webpage content, downloads, and media files

• HTTP headers, authentication data, and encryption overhead

• Any requests and responses routed through the proxy

Since all traffic passes through the proxy server before reaching its final destination, every interaction contributes to your total bandwidth usage.
