# Connect n8n

> Send a request through your proxy with an HTTP Request node.

First, [generate a connection](/quickstart) with **HTTP / HTTPS** selected. Choose the full URL in **Format**, then click **Copy**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add an HTTP Request node">
    Open your n8n workflow and add **HTTP Request**.

    Set **Method** to **GET** and **URL** to:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://api.ipify.org?format=json
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your proxy">
    Under **Options**, add **Proxy**. Paste the connection URL from ProxyLane into that field.

    Leave the node’s website authentication unchanged: the proxy credentials are already in the URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the node">
    Execute the node and open its output. You should see an `ip` value.

    Compare it with a run without the Proxy option, then restore the proxy and try your intended website.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Remove the proxy URL before sharing or exporting the workflow.
