Static proxy

A static proxy is a proxy address that stays the same for the whole rental period, as opposed to a rotating gateway that changes exits behind one hostname. ISP proxies, dedicated datacenter proxies and dedicated mobile devices are static; residential and mobile pools are rotating. Static addresses suit logins, whitelists and anything that must present one consistent identity over time.

ISP proxies All terms

Static does not mean datacenter#

The two axes are independent. An address can be static and residential-registered (ISP proxy), static and hosted (datacenter proxy), or static on a carrier (a dedicated mobile device between rotations). What "static" tells you is how the address behaves over time, not how a target scores it.

Delivery#

Static proxies arrive as a list of ip:port:user:pass lines, one per address, that you paste into your tool or fetch from an API. Renewing the term before it ends keeps the same addresses; letting it lapse returns them to inventory.

How it works at ProxShift#

ProxShift static products are ISP and datacenter IPs on ports 8000 (HTTP/S) and 8001 (SOCKS5), and dedicated mobile devices. Lists are downloadable from the dashboard and from GET /v1/proxies as JSON or plain text.
