Quickstart
The shortest path from "I just signed up" to "I'm tunneling traffic." For the longer walkthrough, see the how-to-use-nodetonet blog post.
- Create an account at /auth/register and verify your email.
- Copy your Personal API Key from the dashboard.
- Top up $1 of service credit on /balance (Stripe-hosted checkout).
- Pair an Android device — install the agent, paste the token from /tokens.
- Create a proxy from /proxies → New Proxy.
- Use the connection string returned:
curl -x http://u:p@xxx.nodetonet.com:48888 https://api.ipify.org
Protocols supported
The panel lets you pick one of three protocols per proxy:
| Protocol | Client compatibility | Use case |
|---|---|---|
HTTP | Widest — curl, scrapers, browsers, Postman | Default — pick this first. |
SOCKS5 | TCP-level, more tools support it (Telegram, IRC, native apps) | When you need non-HTTP semantics. |
HTTPS | For tools that require the proxy itself to use TLS | Encrypt the proxy hop. |
REST API
All endpoints take Authorization: Bearer <key>. JSON in/out. Standard HTTP semantics (2xx success, 4xx your error, 5xx ours).

Upstream forwarding
Chain a third-party residential / rotating proxy behind your Nodetonet endpoint. Format: host:port:user:pass. The Nodetonet edge handles TLS termination, auth, sticky sessions, and billing; your upstream provides the actual exit IPs.
# In the New Proxy modal:
Upstream Proxy: gate.smartproxy.com:7000:user-country-de:pass
Username modifiers (-country-XX, -session-XXX, -sessionduration-N) pass through verbatim. See the upstream forwarding deep-dive.
Rate limits
- API: 60 requests / minute / API key. 429 with
Retry-Afterif exceeded. - Tunnel creation: 30 / hour / account. Prevents abuse, lift on request.
- Auto-topup: 10-minute cooldown between off-session charges.
Billing
Prepaid. Top up service credit on /balance; per-day charge of ~$0.033/active tunnel deducts from credit at 03:00 UTC. Idle (status: stopped) tunnels don't charge. Auto-topup is opt-in — see managing payment methods.
Self-host (coming soon)
The full panel + edge runs on commodity Linux. Documentation for self-hosting the platform on your own hardware will land in Q3 2026. Get in touch if you want early access.
