What is Rotating Residential Proxies?
A rotating proxy is a type of proxy server that frequently changes the IP addresses it uses. This means every time you connect, you get a new IP address, keeping your original IP hidden. This automatic rotation helps maintain anonymity and security as it prevents servers from tracking or blocking users based on their IP.

What is credential count and how do I use it?
The credential count is used only with the Session IP option. This option allows you to create multiple different IPs to use at same time. Now please note a few important things here:
In credential count you can enter any number you want. Note that if you use a country that has a significantly smaller IP pool, you may get the same IP several times.
In the credential count generator the only difference you will see a different password when using the session IP option. Different password = different IP after connecting to proxy.
All generated IPs will be valid for ~30mins and after that proxies will disconnect at any time, meaning that you will need to generate new credentials.
To use credential count use the following steps:
Select your preferred settings in the credentials generator as in previous screenshots.
In credential count enter any number you need and this is how many IPs will be generated.
Press "Generate credentials". Successful generating will display IPs generated down below. You can copy all of them or use the Download credentials button to download recently generated ones. Copy the credentials to your browser or software you use. Happy browsing!

What are proxy authentication methods? - Username/password
How can I change my proxy password? - Currently, we don't provide a resetting password option.
Why are the IP address, port, and username always the same? - Rotating residential proxies utilize a shared IP pool, meaning that the IP address you receive is used to connect to the shared IP pool as a whole. Your IP address will appear based on the country you selected after connecting to the proxy.
How to choose a country? - You can choose a country on the Control panel.
How to check how much traffic is left? - You can see this information in the Balance column.

What are the speeds of rotating residential proxy? - Speeds depend on the ISP and the IP because the rotating residential proxies plan uses a shared IP pool that is made from real users that allow the traffic to pass through their IPs.

How long does 1 GB last? - This question cannot be answered as the usage of bandwidth is subjective to every user and every user use case individually. Note that all traffic is being calculated in the usage - upload, download, and every request made.
Why IP and PORT and Username is always the same? - Rotating residential proxies uses a shared IP pool, therefore the IP you get is only used to connect to the shared IP pool as a whole. Your IP address will be displayed according to the country you choose after you connect to the proxy.
Proxy fraud score is high, what can I do? - Any IP can have any fraud score on any of the databases. We are not associated with any of the databases therefore we cannot tell what is the reason for fraud score calculation. Proxy fraud score in general is not a performance index for proxy performance. Having high score does not necessarily mean that the proxy is bad or that it will not work for your use case. Also, any different database can display proxy fraud scores differently, therefore you should not take any results as granted.
My proxy shows the wrong location? - Many different sites can use different databases, thus results can be distorted or unreliable. This is because there is no 1 unified database for all results.
Please note that we cannot impact any data displayed on any 3rd party databases. Use only the official and reputable databases to confirm your results. Them being:
Google
3rd party website results are not taken for granted. For any updates of IP in any 3rd party website, contact the site administrator and ask if they can manually update your IP in their database.
Proxies, displayed on third-party websites in other countries are none of our responsibility as we cannot impact the data, therefore such proxies are not eligible for refunds.
Are there any restrictions for proxy use? - We do not block or restrict anything from our side but we cannot guarantee that every IP will work with every use case.
However, our proxies are not suitable and will not work for the following use cases:
Mailing services
Gambling sites
Survey sites
Offer sites
Redeem sites
Dating services
I cannot connect to my proxy, what should I do? - If you cannot connect to a proxy, this can be both a user-end or platform-end issue with the proxy. But before thinking that the proxy is not working completely, please try the following options:
Try checking if the credentials you entered are correct
Make sure not to leave any space in between your entered credentials
Try and check your browser configuration if it is set up correctly
Try using a different browser
Try using a different device with a different network.
Check if your browser supports the authentication method or connection protocol
Try checking if your proxy connections are not blocked by the firewall or your internet provider*
Check if your proxy did not expire
Check if you did not change any of the proxy credentials, authentication method, or connection protocol
* - Users in the following areas such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, UAE, Egypt, and Morocco may experience connection issues due to regulations of proxy connections on the national level. It is advised to connect to a VPN first and then try to connect to the proxy.
In case none of these options worked, the proxy may be the issue, and upon that contact our live support via messenger or write a letter to [email protected] for a check-up of your proxy.
