# Use Talordata Proxies with Postman
Set up Talordata proxies in Postman with step-by-step guidance for host, port, authentication, and connection testing.
Postman is a widely used API development and testing tool. By configuring a proxy, you can route requests sent by Postman through a proxy IP. Follow the steps below to complete the proxy settings.
