PROXY FUNDAMENTALS

Proxy generation

The generator allows you to configure residential proxy parameters and obtain ready-to-use connection details.

The selected parameters are encoded in the password. When geolocation, session type, TTL, and other settings are added, the password becomes longer and contains the connection parameters.

If you change settings after generation, previously generated details are not updated automatically. You must generate new details and connect using them.

Additional Premium features

At the top of the generator, the following are available:

Options row above the Premium generator: the Premium Pool, Direct connection (for IMAP etc.) and IP Skipping checkboxes, all cleared, and the Sub-Users button
  • Premium pool - an additional generation parameter and does not require a separate page.
  • Direct connection (for IMAP, etc.) - allows working with mail servers over IMAP through a residential IP address.
  • IP Skipping - allows excluding specified IP ranges from rotation.
  • Sub-Users - described in Additional users

Open Country dropdown with a search box and the checkbox list starting with Random Country, Afghanistan, Albania and Algeria, next to the Reset button

In the Country field, you can select one or more countries.
Random Country is also available if a specific country is not required.

City

Open City dropdown with an empty search field and the options Random City, Abbeville, Aberdeen, Abilene and Adrian

City selection becomes available after selecting a country. When several countries are selected at the same time, city selection is not available.
You can select a specific city or use a random city.

ISP

Open ISP dropdown: Random ISP selected, followed by Atlantic Broadband, AT&T Corp., CenturyLink, Charter, Comcast and other providers

Session type

Open Session dropdown with the two options Rotate IP (selected) and Static IP

Available options:

  • Rotate IP.
  • Static IP.

Rotate, the connection details remain the same, but the exit IP address changes on every request.

With Static, the system selects a random IP address and tries to keep it within the session. If TTL is specified for the static session, the system tries to keep the selected IP for the specified time.
