Proxy guides
Short, plain answers to the questions people ask before buying proxies.
Residential vs Datacenter Proxies: Which One Do You Need?
Use residential proxies when a site must believe you're an ordinary home visitor: social media, marketplaces, ad checks and protected sites. Use datacenter proxies when speed and price matter more and the site doesn't block servers: SEO tools, public data, uptime checks.

Rotating vs Sticky Proxies: Which Should You Use?
Rotate (a new IP on every connection) for scraping and anything that sends many independent requests. Use a sticky session (the same IP for a set time) for logins, accounts, checkouts and browsing, where changing IP mid-session looks suspicious.

HTTP vs SOCKS5 Proxies: What's the Difference?
For websites, use the HTTP proxy type: it opens HTTPS sites too, and every browser and antidetect tool can log in to it. Use SOCKS5 for apps that aren't web browsers or that only speak SOCKS5. Speed is the same.

WebRTC Leaks and Proxies: Why They Happen, How to Stop Them
A WebRTC leak is when a page learns your real IP through WebRTC, which can connect outside the proxy. It isn't caused by choosing HTTP over SOCKS5: the fix is the browser's WebRTC setting, set to show the proxy's IP or turned off. Antidetect browsers have that setting built in.

How Many Accounts per Proxy IP, and How Long to Keep Each IP
One. On any platform that links accounts (social networks, marketplaces, ad and payment accounts), give each account its own IP and keep that IP while you work in the account: a 24-hour sticky session for daily use, or a static ISP proxy when it must log in from the same address for weeks. Several accounts on one IP is one of the plainest signals that they belong together.
