Stellar AIO Proxy Setup and Which Proxies to Use
Stellar AIO works on
- Windows
- macOS
Key facts
What it is
A paid checkout bot for Windows and macOS covering over 70 retailers ($499 for the first 3 months, then $150 per quarter).
Are proxies required?
Stellar's own guide says the bot needs proxies. If you leave the proxy fields blank, the task runs on Local Host (your home or server IP), and every task set up that way shares the same address.
How many proxies per task
One per task at the least, two or more if you can. With ISP proxies the cap is the number of IPs you bought, and with residential proxies it's the GB left on your plan.
Retailer rules
Amazon, Walmart and Target forbid automated access in their terms of use. A proxy hides your IP, but the store can still cancel orders or close an account it ties to a bot.
Ways to connect Stellar AIO to a proxy
Stellar loads proxies from proxy groups. Which IP type you put in a group matters more than how you add it.
| Name | Works In | Auth | Blocking Resistance | Best For | Where To Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proxy list (IP:Port:Username:Password) | Proxies tab > Manage Proxies, on Windows and macOS | Username and password written into each line | Depends on the IP type (see below) | Monitor, checkout and queue proxy groups | Geonode residential, ISP or datacenter proxies |
| In-Bot Proxies | Proxies tab, after you have created at least one proxy group | Stellar handles it. You pay on a Stripe checkout page | Same as any ISP proxy | Buying ISP proxies without leaving the bot | Stella Proxies only. The order shows up in the ISP proxy group tab |
| Local Host (no proxy) | Any task where the Monitor and Checkout Proxy Groups are left blank | None | Lowest. A ban lands on your own connection | The checkout proxy on Target Login tasks, where Stellar's Shape guide suggests Local Host or mobile IPs. For other Shape tasks it recommends ISP proxies. | Your own internet connection |
| BP Proxy Switcher (Chrome extension) | Google Chrome, outside the bot | Credentials pasted with each proxy, one per line | Depends on the IP type | Signing in to store accounts or generating cookies in a browser, one IP per window | Any proxy provider, including Geonode |
Which proxy type to use with Stellar AIO
Stellar's guides split the work: ISP proxies for monitoring and account logins, residential proxies for checkout and queues.
Best for monitors
ISP proxies
from $1.25/IP
Stellar's guide calls ISP proxies the best type for speed and discreetness, and recommends them for monitors and account tasks on Target, Walmart, Amazon and Best Buy.
Low-protection sites only
Datacenter proxies
from $0.14/GB
Cheap and fast enough for light Shopify monitoring. Stellar warns that datacenter IPs get banned quickly on Walmart, Target and Amazon.
Proxy test only

How to set up a proxy in Stellar AIO

Click New Proxy Group (the green + sign), type a name for the group and click Add.
Select the new group and click Manage Proxies.
Paste your proxies, one per line, and click Save.
Create one group per job, for example ISP Monitor and Resi Checkout.
Open the Tasks tab, pick a task group and click Create Task.
Select a Mode and a Profile or Profile Group.
Choose the Monitor and Checkout Proxy Groups, fill in the rest of the task and click Create.

Read the blog postHow to check that the proxies work
In the Proxies tab, open the group and pick a site in the Select Site drop-down: Amazon, Target, Walmart or Google.
Click the Play button next to a proxy to test it. A speed in milliseconds means the proxy connects; Failed means it does not reach that site.
Test on Google first. If a proxy passes on Google but fails on Walmart, the proxy works and Walmart has blocked its IP.
Before a release, start one test task and open its log with the Sorted Lines button to look for proxy errors.
How to remove a proxy from Stellar AIO
To drop dead or slow proxies, open the group in the Proxies tab and click the Trashcan button next to each one.
To run a task without a proxy, click the Pencil button on the task, clear the Monitor and Checkout Proxy Groups and save. The task then runs on Local Host.
Common Stellar AIO proxy problems and fixes
Every proxy in the group shows Failed, even on Google
- The list is in the wrong format, has spaces or blank lines, or the credentials are wrong
- Paste one proxy per line as IP:Port:Username:Password with no spaces. With Geonode, use the proxy username and password from the dashboard, not your account login, and check the list in the Geonode proxy checker.
CauseFixProxies pass on Google but fail on Walmart, Target or Amazon
- The store has flagged those IPs
- Move the task to a residential or ISP group and keep a backup group from a second provider. Stellar's Amazon guide also suggests using more than one provider or pool.
CauseFixTest All shows very slow or uneven speeds
- Testing a whole group at once slows each test down, and Stellar says those results can be inaccurate
- Test proxies one by one with the Play button, then delete the slow ones with the Trashcan button.
CauseFixAmazon keeps asking for verification or logs the account out
- The login IP changes between requests, or several accounts share one login proxy
- Give each Amazon account its own static ISP proxy for login.

Stellar AIO proxy FAQ
Stellar AIO is a paid checkout bot for Windows and macOS that monitors retail sites and buys restocked products automatically. It covers over 70 sites, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Nike, Apple and Shopify stores in the US, Canada, UK, EU and Japan.
Stellar's site lists $499 for the first 3 months, then $150 per quarter, or $899 for a year. Proxies are not included and are bought separately.
Stellar's Amazon guide recommends ISP proxies. Give each Amazon account one stable ISP proxy for login, and use separate ISP groups for monitor and checkout tasks. The guide advises against residential proxies for continuous Amazon monitoring, since they rotate IPs and use a lot of data.
Stellar sells ISP proxies inside the bot through its partner Stella Proxies, and those orders show up in the ISP proxy group. You can also paste proxies from any other provider into a proxy group. Stellar's guide suggests doing that when Stella Proxies are out of stock.
Stellar's minimum is one proxy per task. It recommends two or more per task, so the bot can rotate when an IP gets flagged. So 50 ISP proxies cover 25 to 50 tasks. With residential proxies the limit is the data left on your plan, not the IP count.
Yes. Stellar AIO runs on Windows and macOS. New versions ship for Windows first, and the Mac build follows shortly after. Download links for both go up in the change-log channel on Stellar's Discord server.
