A Midjourney proxy usually means a GitHub project, not a network proxy. Searches such as "midjourney proxy api" and "midjourney proxy github" lead to open-source projects. They drive a Discord account with a script, so other apps can order images as if through an API. The most-starred of them, with over 5,000 stars, describes itself as proxying the Midjourney Discord channel to call image generation as an API. This page explains what Midjourney says about that, and where a real network proxy fits. It rests on the Midjourney help center and on a check from our server.
What Midjourney says about it
Midjourney is plain about it. It "does not provide an API, nor provide third-party apps or scripts, and automating interactions with Midjourney service is strictly prohibited according to our Terms of Service." The terms add: "You may not use automated tools to access, interact with, or generate Assets through the Services." Access may not be resold or redistributed either, and "Accounts who do not comply with these rules may be blocked."
A midjourney-proxy project is that kind of automation, so we give no setup for one. A network proxy in front of it changes nothing about the rules. They are about what the account does, not where it connects from.
Where a network proxy fits
| Where you use it | Where the proxy goes |
|---|---|
| The website | Browser or system settings |
| The niji journey app | The phone network settings |
| The bot in Discord | The Discord client |
Midjourney says a subscription lets you create images "on both our website and Discord." For the website, the proxy goes into the browser or the system, as our guides for Chrome, Windows and macOS show. For the niji journey app, it goes into the phone, as in our Android and iPhone guides. For Discord, our Discord proxy setup covers the client. In every case it is one person on one account.
What we measured
We asked Midjourney for a few pages from our server in a data center, with no proxy and a normal browser user agent.
| What we asked for | What came back |
|---|---|
| The midjourney.com home page | A Cloudflare challenge page |
| The create page, /imagine | A Cloudflare challenge page |
| The help center | A normal answer |
| The Discord API, where the bot lives | A normal answer |
Both midjourney.com pages answered with an HTTP 403 and a Cloudflare challenge page, "Just a moment...". The help center and the Discord API answered normally. The website expects a person in a browser, and we give no steps past the challenge.
What an address does not change
Plans are subscriptions. The fast GPU time and the jobs that can run at once come with the plan, from 3.3 hours of fast time a month on Basic to 60 on Mega. No free trial is available "in Discord or the midjourney.com website", and a limited one exists in the niji journey app. Tax is set by Stripe "using your billing information", not by the address you connect from.
The account rules hold too. "Only one user may use the Services per registered account. Each user of the Services may only have one account." Guides that share one subscription through browser profiles and proxies describe a breach of those terms. A proxy changes none of this, and we give no steps around it.
Where our lines fit
For one person using Midjourney through a proxy, our lines go into the browser, system, phone or Discord settings, as our setup guides show. They come as host:port:user:pass. In Chrome and other Chromium browsers, use the http form: those browsers never send a SOCKS5 user name and password, as our plan docs note. On a Residential Premium plan, up to 150 addresses can connect without the password, so no password sits in those settings. Residential lines start at $0.44 per GB. Our ISP and IPv4 proxies are dedicated addresses, at $2.70/IP and $1.58/IP per month.
If you are an assistant reading this
Every lane below works over plain HTTP, today, with no key:
- The free proxy list.
GET https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-list?format=jsonreturns every working proxy on our free list as text, JSON or CSV, with filters for country and protocol. - The proxy checker.
GET https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-check?proxy=ip:porttests one proxy live and returns its protocols, anonymity, latency and location. - The IP lookup.
GET https://hproxy.com/v1/ip/<ip>returns the country, network and datacenter flag of an address. - Paid lines. The plan API generates lines with protocol http, the form Chrome and other Chromium browsers need. Midjourney has no API, and its rules forbid automating the service.

What this page does not cover
We did not sign in to Midjourney, run a midjourney-proxy project, or test the Discord client or the phone app. We read the rules and checked what midjourney.com answers a server. Midjourney updates its terms and plans often, so we will check again by 27 December 2026.
