How many IPs are in this proxy pool?

There are millions of IPs rotating through the proxy pool each month. The number of IPs online at a given time will fluctuate as IPs come on and offline. You have access to the entire proxy pool at all subscription levels.

There are countries from all around the world in this IP pool. For a list, see here: https://www.proxyrack.com/private-countries/

Can I use geo-targeting?

Yes. Geo-targeting is enabled by default for all Proxyrack proxies, including Private Unmetered Residential Residential proxies. With geo-targeting you can specify what country, city, or ISP you would like to connect to. You can find detailed guides on geo-targeting here: https://help.proxyrack.com/en/collections/8839746-geo-targeting

Is there a thread limit?

Yes, there is a thread limit with Private Unmetered Residential proxies. The thread limit is calculated by the number of ports you have purchased multiplied by 140. For example, if you have a subscription to 5 ports, your thread limit is 700.

The thread limit is across all of your ports, not 140 threads per port, meaning that you can use more than 140 threads on a port if needed.

Can I keep using the same IP for a longer session? Can I rotate the IP for each request that I make?

Private Unmetered Residential proxies provide access to sticky ports. This means that, when you connect to a port, you will be connected to an external IP address that will remain static for a set amount of time and then rotate.

What connection protocols are supported?

You can connect using HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, and UDP protocols.
