Proxy connection format and tiers

http://YOUR_KEY:[email protected]:3128

The username is always your account key. The password starts with a tier and can carry up to three optional modifiers, each joined with an underscore.

standard_country-US_session-shop1_ttl-30 tier required country ISO-2 code session reuse an IP ttl minutes Leave out any modifier you do not need — "standard" on its own is a valid password.
Order matters: tier first, then country, session and TTL.

Tiers

The tier decides both which kind of IP you get and the per-GB rate for that request. You can use a different tier on every request from the same balance.

Password For
standard Rotating residential IPs with configurable sessions. The default choice.
cleanproxy Reputation-checked residential IPs for stricter websites.
cleanproxy_geo As above, with state and city targeting.
sticky_clean Verified residential sessions for multi-step workflows.
mobile 4G/5G carrier IPs for mobile apps and account workflows.

Current rates, and any extra tiers enabled on your account, are listed on the Proxies page in the portal.

Modifiers

  • country — a two-letter code such as US, GB or DE. See country targeting.
  • session — a name you choose (letters, numbers, _ and -). Requests with the same name try to keep the same IP. See sticky sessions.
  • ttl — how long, in minutes, a session should hold its IP.
Let the portal build it. The builder on the Proxies page produces a ready-to-paste string for any combination, and refuses combinations your chosen tier does not support.
