Change your settings

This guide lists every setting you can change, and where to find it. Settings live in a few places, depending on what they affect.

To change Go to
Theme, browser, automation token, SMS providers Settings in the desktop app
Defaults for new profiles Browser Profiles, Browser Settings tab
How proxies are checked and retired Proxies, Settings tab
Email addresses and mailboxes The gear beside Inbox
Devices on your login Devices in the web app
Email notifications Notifications in the web app
Organization proxy filters Settings in the web app
Plan and billing exitnode.app/billing

Click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.

Choose Dark or Light under Theme. It changes at once and is remembered on this computer.

This card shows the Exora browser your profiles open in.

Status What it means What to do
Ready The browser is installed. The card shows its version. Click Check for updates to look for a newer one.
Not found The browser isn’t installed yet. Click Install browser.
Needs repair The installed browser has a problem. Click Install browser to repair it.
Unknown The app couldn’t read the browser’s status. Click Re-check.

While it works, the card shows progress such as Downloading browser… 40%, then Done or Already up to date.

If you see “A browser update is ready. Close every browser profile, then retry the update.”, stop your running profiles and click Check for updates again.

This card holds what you need to drive profiles with your own scripts:

  • Endpoint is the address your script calls. Click it to copy it.
  • Token is your private key. Show reveals it, Copy copies it, and Regenerate replaces it.
  • Test connection checks that the API is running.

Regenerate stops every script using the old token, so the app asks you to confirm. See Connect to a running profile.

This card shows whether this computer remembers your organization’s cards passphrase.

  • Saved in this Mac’s Keychain means you aren’t asked for it each time. Forget on this Mac removes the saved copy. Your cards and the passphrase don’t change, and you type it the next time you show a number.
  • Not saved means you’re asked for it when you show a number.

See Connect a card provider.

Connect your own SMS provider account, so you can rent numbers using your balance with that provider.

  1. Click TextVerified.
  2. Enter a Label, your API username and your API key.
  3. Click Validate & connect.

Each connected provider then has a row showing its status, balance and how many services are on. On that row:

  • Services lets you choose which services it may use. Search the list, tick the ones you want, then click Save.
  • Sync refreshes its list of services.
  • Remove deletes the connection and its key.
  • Provider chooses where automatic rentals come from: ExitNode credits, or a provider you connected.
  • Fallback tries your other providers if the first one fails or runs out of balance. Tick Fall back to other providers to allow it.
  • Max price caps what one number can cost. Leave it blank for No limit. A typed 0 allows free numbers only.

These apply as soon as you change them.

Go to Browser Profiles, then the Browser Settings tab. Click Save at the bottom when you’re done.

These are shared with your team and apply to every profile in the organization. You need permission to manage profiles to change them. Without it, you can see them but not edit them.

Setting What it does
Default vetting template The proxy-vetting template new profiles use.
Default risk policy When proxies are re-vetted for each profile. See Create a profile.
Card autofill On fills an assigned card as well as an address. Off fills addresses only.
Let members keep cards unlocked When off, people who can’t manage cards lock after 15 minutes idle. Shown only if you can manage cards.
Search engine The search engine Exora uses for every profile.
Persistent tabs On reopens the tabs left open when a profile closed. Off opens on the start page. Each profile can override this.

These only affect profiles you create on this computer. They aren’t shared.

Setting What it does
Default OS The operating system for new profiles. If you never save one, new profiles use this computer’s system.
Default name prefix The start of the names given by Add multiple profiles.
Fingerprint defaults See Fingerprints.

Go to Proxies, then the Settings tab. Each choice applies as soon as you click it. See Proxy checks and risk for what each one means.

Click the gear beside Inbox in the sidebar. See Connected mailboxes and Catch-all domains.

Each login can run ExitNode on up to 3 devices. Open Devices in the web app to see them.

The page shows Device seats as used and total, then a row for each device with its Platform and Last seen.

To free a seat:

  1. Click Revoke on the device.
  2. Click Revoke device to confirm.

The device loses access, and any session running on it ends.

Category What it covers

Team & security Invites, membership and role changes, new API keys and new devices.

Flip a switch to change it. The page shows Saved when it’s done. Security alerts for new API keys, new devices and role changes are always sent and can’t be turned off.

Open Settings in the web app. You need permission to manage settings.

  • Organization shows your organization’s Name, Slug and Tier. Editing them isn’t available yet.
