F.A.Q.Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Backconnect Proxy?
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.
2. How does it work?
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.
3. Are your IP addresses recognized by proxy testers as proxies?
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.
4. What is the difference between the Basic Backconnect Proxy Plan and the Special Backconnect Proxy Plan?
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.

11. I use dynamic IPs, can I still use your service?
Yes, you can, as you are allowed to set up to 100 authorized IPs for each proxy package. Most ISP’s assign the same dynamic IP addresses to customers over a couple of days, you can whitelist all of them and use our services. For advanced users, we offer API access, that can automatically whitelist your IP, with no need to log in to the advanced control panel.
12. How many IPs do you have in your pool?
