FAQ
How do I connect to a residential proxy?
While you can manually enter specific proxy parameters, we highly
recommend using our Endpoint generator. To access it, first, log in to
the dashboard , select Get Proxy, we provide “API” or “User &
Pass Auth” way, and click on Endpoint Generator. Then, select the
following settings:
1. Region: Hong Kong or Beijing if you're connecting from China or
Global for the rest of the world.
2. Authentication method: User authentification or Whitelisted IPs.
3. Endpoint type: Backconnect Entry or Country.
4. Location settings: If you choose a Backconnect Entry, you can
specify country, state, or city. But if you select a Country, you can
choose only a country.
5. Session type: Sticky or Rotating.
6. Output format: port or HTTP.
Once you retrieve a list of endpoints, you can use them in your
script.
How much are residential proxies?
Our traffic plans start from $0.7 per GB. In order to ensure the
smooth running of your business, the more traffic you purchase, the
longer the validity period will be.. See the Pricing section for more
details.
How long does a residential proxy last?
Typically, our Residential Proxies rotate automatically, but if you
want to keep the same IP address for a longer period of time, you can
do that by selecting a sticky session parameter. By default, this
parameter will keep the same session for 30 minutes, but if you need a
longer or shorter duration, you must define the session time. It's
possible to keep the same IP address for up to 120 minutes.
Currently, if you need a longer time limit, you can choose the
ISP Proxies
plan, sticky session keep the same IP address for up to 720 minutes.
What is an ISP proxy?
An ISP proxy is a go-between IP address hosted on a datacenter but
registered under an ISP (Internet Service Provider). An ISP proxy
combines the speed of datacenter proxies and the anonymity of
residential proxies, making use of real IP addresses officially
assigned by ISPs.
Are ISP proxies good?
While typically being more expensive than other proxy types, ISP
proxies can be the best option in certain situations, e.g., when
extremely high speed is required. Usually, you would use fast
datacenter proxies in this scenario. But datacenter proxies are easier
to detect, and this is why you need residential IPs. ISP proxies
combine both: fast speed and the ability to stay undetectable.
How do ISP proxies work?
Similar to other proxy servers, ISP proxies forward your request using
a different IP address while hiding your own. ISP proxies use the
autonomous system numbers (ASNs) of consumer Internet Service
Providers, but without the need to handle poor internet connections of
the end-users.
What's the difference between ISP proxies and Datacenter proxies?
ISP proxies are hosted on datacenters, but instead of using datacenter
IP addresses, they cooperate with ISPs that provide them with
residential IP addresses. The chances that datacenter IPs will get
blocked are higher compared to the IPs used by ISP proxies. Using real
IP addresses makes it harder
