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.

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.
