Basics

ISP proxies combine the best parts of our other two proxy types. The IPs are registered with real internet providers, so sites see them as home connections. They run on datacenter hardware, so you get datacenter speed and uptime. They are also called static residential proxies: you get dedicated IPs that don’t rotate, with unlimited bandwidth.

This is a developer guide. The quickest way to create proxies is the ISP dashboard.

When to Use Them

Choose ISP proxies when you need an IP that stays the same and looks residential:

Managing accounts that flag logins from changing or datacenter IPs
Checkout on protected shops, such as sneaker or ticket sites
Long scraping sessions on sites that block datacenter IPs
Anything where a rotating residential IP would log you out partway through

In short: datacenter for speed on easy sites, residential for rotating through a large pool, and ISP for a stable IP that looks residential.

Proxy Format

ISP proxies are dedicated, like datacenter proxies. The dashboard gives you a fixed list of IPs in this format:

Proxy format

IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD

Part	Description	Example
IP	Your dedicated static IP	`198.51.100.7`
Port	Connection port	`8000`
Username	Your proxy username	`YOUR_USERNAME`
Password	Your proxy password	`YOUR_PASSWORD`

There are no sessions and no rotation. The IP is yours for as long as your plan runs.

Authentication

You can use a username and password or IP whitelisting. See Authentication.

Example Request

Python
cURL

Python

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{PROXY_IP}:{PORT}',
    'https': 'http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{PROXY_IP}:{PORT}'
}

response = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json', proxies=proxies)
print(response.json())

cURL

curl -x "http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{PROXY_IP}:{PORT}" \
  https://api.ipify.org?format=json

If the response shows your proxy’s IP, the connection works.

Tips

Use one IP per account when managing accounts. That is what a static IP is for.
Bandwidth is unlimited, but sites still rate-limit single IPs. Spread heavy scraping across several IPs.
If a site bans an IP, replace it in the dashboard. Bans are rarer than with datacenter IPs, but they still happen.
