Sticky Residential Proxies

Sticky proxies assign a single IP address to a user for an extended period. When you use a sticky proxy, you maintain the same residential IP address across multiple requests, providing consistency for your online activities. Key features:
  • Consistent IP address for an extended duration
  • Longer session persistence
  • Better suited for maintaining user accounts or sessions
  • More closely mimics regular user behavior
Common use cases:
  • Accessing geo-restricted content
  • Managing multiple social media accounts
  • E-commerce operations requiring consistent identity
  • Login-based website interactions
Sticky sessions can return the same IP address for up to 24 hours. However, since our proxies are sourced through real residential devices, IP availability is not guaranteed and a specific IP address may occasionally become offline.

​
Rotating Residential Proxies

Rotating proxies automatically change the IP address assigned to a user after each request. This provides a new residential IP for every connection you make. Key features:
  • Dynamic IP address allocation
  • Shorter session duration
  • Higher level of anonymity
  • More difficult to track or block
Common use cases:
  • Web scraping and data collection
  • Price comparison
  • Ad verification
  • SEO monitoring
