Content-ready guide shell

This page is intentionally structured as a clean public scaffold. Final founder-tested walkthrough logic, screenshots, and step-by-step tutorial polish still need to be completed before this guide should be treated as finished.

Tutorial-ready guide shell

This proxy page is now prepared for the real tutorial workflow. It has room for real screenshots, exact click order, warnings, and the final copy pass.

Planned walkthrough

How the final proxy tutorial should flow

These blocks define where the final step-by-step proxy walkthrough and screenshots will land later.

Walkthrough step

Open the proxy provider and reach the setup screen

Click-by-click slot

Goal

Show the first provider screen the user should see and the first setup action that matters for this funnel.

Click-by-click placeholder

Later, insert the exact clicks needed to reach the dashboard, proxy creation view, or equivalent starting point.

Screenshot slot

Proxy tool starting screen

Screenshot pending: proxy provider dashboard or first setup screen

Planned alt text

Placeholder alt text for the starting screen of the proxy setup tutorial

Planned caption

Placeholder caption for the first proxy provider screen used in the Rateshift funnel

Instruction placeholder

This slot will later show the first provider screen and the short click-by-click note that gets the user to the right setup area.

Note: The final guide should stay practical: show only the path relevant to the funnel.

Walkthrough step

Create the connection state the user will actually use

Click-by-click slot

Goal

Capture the moment where the user chooses or generates the proxy setup that belongs to the funnel.

Click-by-click placeholder

Later, insert the exact setup clicks and only the minimum connection options the user needs.

Screenshot slot

Proxy creation or session setup

Screenshot pending: proxy creation, targeting, or generated connection details

Planned alt text

Placeholder alt text for the proxy creation or session setup screen in the tutorial

Planned caption

Placeholder caption showing the proxy details or settings that matter for this funnel

Instruction placeholder

This is where the final tutorial should explain what the user should generate, copy, or save before moving on.

Warning: Avoid turning the final tutorial into an advanced proxy engineering guide. Keep it tied to the MVP funnel only.
