A Sticky session keeps you on the same IP for up to 24 hours. It is the default for Residential and Mobile proxies.
ISP proxies do not use session types. Those IPs never rotate.
What it does
Holds one IP | For up to 24 hours |
If that IP goes offline | You get a new one from the same location |
Your location settings | Stay the same |
That last point is the difference from the No rotating session type, which waits for your original IP instead of giving you a new one.
Setting the duration
Under Advanced settings, Sticky has two options:
Option | What you get |
Keep IP as long as possible (default) | The IP is held until it drops or 24 hours pass |
Custom | You set the time in seconds |
Custom accepts 60 to 86,400 seconds. That is 1 minute to 24 hours. Anything outside that range is rejected.
Enter seconds and the dashboard converts it. 500 becomes -ttl-8m20s in your username.
Getting a new IP
Change the session ID in your username. A new session ID means a new session, which means a new IP.
USERNAME-country-us-sid-abc123def4567-filter-medium
Edit any part of the -sid- value. Or generate a new proxy string in the dashboard, which does the same thing.
Running several at once
Set Proxies quantity above 1 in the Proxy generator. Each string gets its own session ID, so each holds a separate IP.
