How Often Can a Dynamic Residential IP Be Changed?

The rotation frequency of dynamic residential IPs is determined by the "IP stickiness" setting. Users can set a desired stickiness time—such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. After the set duration, the system automatically assigns a new residential IP.

This mechanism ensures a balance between persistence and change, making it ideal for anti-blocking, bulk requests, and data scraping scenarios. Proper configuration of stickiness time enhances both reliability and flexibility.

Do Dynamic IPs Need to Be Whitelisted?

Dynamic IPs (residential proxies) support two types of access modes:

  • Username/Password Mode: Authenticates using credentials. No need to whitelist your local IP. It's simple and ideal for fast setup.

  • API Mode: Requires API calls to generate proxies. In this case, you must whitelist the requesting IP address to ensure security and exclusivity.

Can Residential Proxy IPs Be Detected as Proxies?

No, because our residential proxy IPs come from real household broadband connections across real user devices around the world. These IPs appear just like ordinary users browsing the web. Unlike datacenter proxies, they exhibit normal browsing patterns and network signatures, making them extremely difficult to identify as proxies. Whether you're using them for e-commerce, social media, web scraping, or anti-ban purposes, residential IPs offer exceptional stealth and trustworthiness.

How Stable Are Residential IPs?

Our residential proxy IPs are highly stable, offering up to 99.5% uptime. We rely on premium infrastructure and a robust node selection process to ensure reliable connectivity even during long sessions or high-frequency requests. This makes them ideal for data scraping, automation tasks, and uninterrupted global access.

Can residential proxies be used to select any country?

Yes, you can choose the country. We offer the most comprehensive geographic coverage, with 195 locations including both country- and city-level targeting.
