When a proxy assigned to a sticky port goes offline, its behavior is determined by your Auto-Replace setting. ProxyRack offers four Auto-Replace settings that give you control over how proxy connections are managed:

  1. Loose: If the assigned proxy goes offline, the system automatically replaces it with a new proxy from the same geographic region or country. This maintains location-based connectivity while minimizing disruption.

  2. Strict: The system replaces the offline proxy with one from the exact same city or location. This setting is perfect for tasks requiring precise geographic consistency.

  3. Any: The system replaces an offline proxy with any available proxy, regardless of location. This setting prioritizes continuous connectivity over geographic matching.

  4. None: The system does not assign a replacement proxy when the original goes offline. This setting suits users who prefer manual proxy management or need to prevent automatic replacements.

To learn more about these settings and how they can be configured to suit your needs, you can find detailed information here: Auto-Replace Sticky IP | Proxyrack Help.
