Rotating sessions

Default behavior assigns a new exit IP per request. Ideal for scraping workloads that benefit from IP diversity.

Sticky sessions

Append -session-ID to maintain the same exit IP for up to 30 minutes. Use consistent session IDs across related requests.

Session TTL

Sticky TTL is configurable from 1 to 30 minutes on residential and mobile pools. Datacenter sticky sessions support longer durations.

Best practices

Use sticky sessions for multi-step flows such as checkout, login, or paginated API sequences that bind sessions server-side.
