After connecting, a pop-up window will pop up in Google Chrome. Please enter the proxy account and proxy password again in the Username and Password fields and log in.
Thordata supports batch import and export of IPs, compatible with the following file formats: CSV, JSON, and TXT.
{% hint style="success" %}
The import file content must conform to one of the following formats:
* `IP:Port Number:Username:Password`
* `IP:Port Number@Username:Password`
* `Username:Password:IP:Port Number`
* `Username:Password@IP:Port Number`
* `IP:Port Number##Username##Password`
* `IP,Port Number,Username,Password`
{% endhint %}
Please make sure the file content fully complies with the above format requirements to ensure that the batch import and export operations are executed smoothly and completed without errors.
### Global Bypass List

For example
```

facebook.com
youtube.com
```
After adding the domains, click **Save** or **Apply** to save your changes and apply them.
**Persistent Proxy Connection Setup**
* Open the **Proxy Extension** settings menu and locate the **Persistent Proxy Connection** option.
* Select **Enable** for the Persistent Proxy Connection feature to ensure the proxy connection remains stable and does not disconnect frequently during use.
