Backconnect
Residential Proxies

A backconnect proxy is a special kind of proxy that connects to our entire proxy pool and gets assigned a new residential IP address every rotation time, depending on your settings. For example if you choose a 5 minutes rotation time, your proxy will receive a final residential IP exit address every 5 minutes.

Shifter P2P routing service allows consumers to browse anonymously by routing their requests through other users. We enable businesses to route their requests through the biggest P2P proxy network in the world. Our network is perfect for Crawling, Data Mining, Sales Intelligence, Brand Protection, Ad Verification, Self Testing, Talent Sourcing, Comparative Intelligence, Tickets, Social Media, Buying Sneakers & Amazon Ranking.

Our proxies are 100% undetectable as proxies, due to the technology behind our network. Furthermore we only provide real residential IPs, that come from ISPs that provide internet services to home users, making them unblockable as well, unlike data center proxies.

Special Backconnect Proxies offer extended capabilities, and are suitable for high demand use cases. With Special Backconnect Proxies you are able to Geo Target the location of your residential IPs and also access websites that are locked for the Basic Backconnect Proxies, such as: Yandex, Outlook, Apple, GMX, Inbox, MyWay, Zoho, Yahoo, AOL, Gmail, Skype, Wikipedia, Xtremetop, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, YouPorn, Ticketmaster & many more

Basic Backconnect Proxies don’t have access to geo targeting and assign random residential IPs from all over the world, except Tier 1 countries like: United States, United Kingdom and Canada, while also restricting access to high demand websites that are only available for Special Backconnect Proxies.

In order to activate access to Amazon.com you need to open up a support ticket requesting access to the service. We request this in order to maintain our pool quality and low fail rate.

Our Basic Backconnect Proxies support HTTP/S, while Special Backconnect Proxies support HTTP/S & Socks protocols.
