What are sticky sessions?
A sticky session keeps the same IP across your requests for up to 120 minutes, and without one every request gets a new IP. Sticky sessions in the docs shows how to start one.
How will I be billed for residential proxies?
We offer PayPal, Google Pay, or credit card billing using Stripe. For orders above 5000 GB a month, we can also set up custom billing in other formats. We offer both subscription and Pay-As-You-Go Plans.
Should I buy datacenter or residential proxies?
It depends on your use case - residential proxies work for more sites and are easier to maintain, but are slower and more expensive. Datacenter proxies are fast and cost less per gigabyte, but take more work to get through. You can learn more about choosing a proxy type by watching this.
Why are residential proxies optimized for web scraping?
Residential proxies come from real devices on real ISPs, which gives your data collection more anonymity than other types of proxies. That makes scraping more efficient and reliable.
Do you offer country, state, city and ASN targeting?
Yep - and at no additional cost to yourself.
How do you make sure these proxies are sourced with consent?
Rayobyte only sources residential IPs from users who have manually and intentionally granted permission. These users may limit the conditions in which their connections may be used and opt-out at any time. You can read more about our ethical standards for sourcing and usage of proxies.
Where can I get free residential proxies?
If a tech product is free, it’s usually because YOU are the product. Free proxies often make their money by selling your data to third parties, compromising the need for anonymity that led to you wanting proxies in the first place.
How do I connect to a residential proxy?
Simply copy your single endpoint from our dashboard to your software tool of choice, and it will connect automatically. You can also connect using a browser by following these instructions.
