How to choose a proxy type
Datacenter proxies
Choose datacenter proxies if you need a persistent dedicated IPv4 address, high connection speed, and a large amount of traffic.
Single-location proxies and mix proxies from several locations are available. With mix proxies, you cannot choose which countries will be included in the order.

ProxyWing uses two ISP proxy architectures: ISP NEW and ISP OLD. Available protocols and features depend on the architecture and location.
If you need UDP, IP whitelist, or OS Signature (p0f), use a location on the ISP NEW architecture.
