# Can I convert between ISP and Residential proxies?

> Yes - conversions run both ways. ISP IPs can become Residential traffic and Residential traffic can become ISP IPs. Support handles the request and confirms the rate.

Yes - conversions go in both directions:

* **ISP → Residential:** Your ISP IPs are released, and the equivalent value is added to your account as Residential traffic (GB).
* **Residential → ISP:** Part of your Residential traffic balance is exchanged for new ISP IP allocations.

<Warning>⚠️ **Important: ISP IPs are permanently released when converted.** The same IPs cannot be recovered later, even if you convert back to ISP afterward. Plan accordingly before requesting a conversion.</Warning>

## How to request a conversion

Conversions are handled by our support team. To start one, contact support and let us know:

* The direction you'd like to convert (ISP → Residential, or Residential → ISP)
* How much you'd like to convert (e.g., "convert 2 ISP IPs to Residential traffic")

Eligibility is confirmed by support, and conversions are subject to internal review.

## How much do I get?

<Warning>The exact rate depends on your current pricing and the direction of conversion. **We don't publish a fixed conversion rate - always check with support for the current rate before requesting a change.**</Warning>

*Illustrative example only:* A customer with 2 ISP IPs may receive roughly 2.5 GB of Residential traffic when converting. **This is for illustration, not a guaranteed rate.** Your actual conversion rate is confirmed by support at the time of the request.
