Hi @dynamicfba, welcome to the community forum.

A macro can be used to login automatically before checking it for changes. Check out [Macro: Record and Replay Automated Actions – Distill](https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/macro-to-record-replay-actions/). The video tutorial in the doc should be a good intro to using macro to automate steps in Distill.

Check out the following thread for a related discussion: [Using macro to login to a website](https://forums.distill.io/t/using-macro-to-login-to-a-website/2190)

Customers in Flexi and higher plans can add their own proxies at [https://monitor.distill.io/#/w/0/proxies/](https://monitor.distill.io/#/w/0/proxies/) and use them for the cloud monitors.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
