Three ways to rotate your IPs
Choose the rotation strategy that fits your use case: per-session, timed sticky, or per-request.
Per-Session Rotation
Receive a new IP per session ID (sid). Ideal for consistent sessions across requests, perfect for logins, accounts, and parallel tasks.
Example: sid-123ABCTimed Sticky Sessions
Hold the same IP for a configurable duration (ttl). Perfect for multi-step workflows, form submissions, and session-based browsing.
Example: ttl-60Per-Request Rotation
Get a fresh IP address with every single request. Ideal for large-scale scraping where you need maximum anonymity and zero fingerprinting.
No sid or ttl paramsHigh-performance residential proxies
Enterprise-grade infrastructure built for scale, speed, and reliability.
HTTP(S) & SOCKS5
Full protocol support for any tool, browser, or framework. Switch protocols without changing your proxy endpoint.
Geo-Targeting at Every Level
Target by country, region, city, or ASN across 195+ countries. Get location-accurate data from any market in the world.
Unlimited Connections
No connection caps or hidden limits. Run as many concurrent requests as your infrastructure can handle.
Flexible Proxy Rotation
Rotate IPs using a session ID (sid) or time-to-live (ttl). If neither is set, a new IP is assigned per request by default.
Flexible Authentication
All requests use username/password authentication. Secure access with simple credentials across all integrations.
Real-Time Dashboard
Full-featured dashboard for real-time usage monitoring. Track traffic, connections, and performance with ease.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about residential proxies. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our support team.
Residential proxies route your traffic through real devices with genuine ISP-assigned IP addresses. You can control rotation per request, per session (sid), or via a configurable time (ttl). This makes your traffic look like normal browsing from different real users, ensuring high success rates for data collection.
Residential proxies change your IP automatically (per request, per session, or on a timer), making them ideal for large-scale data collection where anonymity matters. ISP proxies give you a fixed IP address from a real ISP that stays the same 24/7, better for account management, social media, or tasks where you need a consistent identity.
Shifter residential proxies support HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols. You can switch between protocols without changing your proxy endpoint. SOCKS5 support means compatibility with virtually any application, including non-HTTP traffic.
You can target proxies at the country, region, city, or ASN level across 195+ countries. Simply specify your desired location in the proxy credentials and your requests will be routed through IPs in that exact location. This enables accurate localized data collection for pricing, search results, ads, and more.
Residential proxies use real IP addresses assigned by ISPs to home users, so your requests look like ordinary people browsing and are far harder for sites to detect or block. Datacenter proxies come from servers in data centers: cheaper and faster, but they share known IP ranges that anti-bot systems flag quickly. For web scraping, ad verification, and any task where you need to blend in, residential proxies keep working where datacenter proxies get blocked.
Yes. New customers can start a free trial on Residential Proxies to test speed, geo-targeting, and reliability. Your trial includes a set amount of traffic and converts to a paid plan when it ends. Trial length depends on your account.
All three pools share the same rotation options, sticky sessions, protocols, dashboard and API. Full Geo is our largest network (205M+ IPs) and lets you target by country, state, city and ASN. Country Geo runs on a 31M+ IP network and targets by country only. Non-Geo uses the same 31M+ IP network with no targeting at all, so you get a worldwide mix of IPs at the lowest price per GB.
Because you are not paying for targeting. Requests are spread across the whole network instead of being routed to a specific location, which lets us price it from $0.10/GB. If your job does not care where the IP is located, such as bulk scraping of global sites, it is the most cost-effective option.
Yes. You have one residential plan at a time, and you can switch it to a different pool whenever you need. Your credentials, integrations and rotation settings work the same way on every pool, so the switch is seamless.
Country Geo supports country-level targeting across 195+ countries. It does not support state, city or ASN targeting; if you need those, choose the Full Geo pool.
