Session/Sticky IP

Session/Sticky IP

Sticky Session is a proxy operation mode where one IP address is preserved for you for a certain time.

Why Sticky Sessions are Needed

Website Authorization

Many sites bind sessions to IP:
- Account login
- Order checkout
- Dashboard work

Sequential Actions

When continuity matters:
- Multi-page forms
- Shopping cart
- Wizard processes

Social Media Work

• Account management
• Content publishing
• Follower interaction

How It Works

Rotating

Request 1 → IP: 1.1.1.1
Request 2 → IP: 2.2.2.2
Request 3 → IP: 3.3.3.3

Sticky

Requests 1-100 (10 minutes) → IP: 1.1.1.1
Requests 101-200 (next 10 minutes) → IP: 2.2.2.2

Sticky Session Setup

Via Time Parameter

user_session-abc123_time-10:[email protected]:8080

IP preserved for 10 minutes for session ID "abc123"

Via API

proxy = gproxy.get_proxy(sticky_time=30)  # 30 minutes

Session Lifetime

Important Points

1. One session ID = one IP — use different IDs for different tasks
2. Time is limited — IP changes after expiration
3. IP may change earlier — if proxy becomes unavailable
4. Plan your actions — consider session time
