IP Rotation description

IP rotation is the process of switching the IP address you're connected to. With residential and mobile proxies, rotation is natural since these proxies are real devices that can go offline or out of network coverage.

You can easily configure rotation to fit your needs. In your Dashboard, you’ll find several rotation options:

  • Rotation based on your Specified time: This option lets you use the same IP for a specified period, as long as it stays online. If the IP goes offline before the rotation time, a new one will be automatically assigned.
    You can choose rotation intervals ranging from 90 seconds to 6 hours.

  • New IP on each Request: With this option, you’ll get a new IP for every request. Each time you load a new page, it will open with a different IP address.

  • Sticky IP: This feature keeps your IP connected to a specific port as long as the IP remains online. If the connection drops, your IP usually changes, but with Sticky IP, it stays the same until the IP comes back online. If it doesn’t, just switch the port to get a new IP.

IP Rotation settings

Choose your preferred IP rotation time from the available options: 90 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, or 6 hours. You can also set a custom rotation time if needed.
