Residential IPv4 connection reference
TrueProxies exposes Residential IPv4 through Unlimited and GB-based billing products. This page documents the shared connection contract; use the Unlimited and GB-based product pages for current commercial terms.
Connection contract
Section titled “Connection contract”| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Address family | IPv4 exits from residential ISP networks |
| HTTP CONNECT endpoint | http://YOUR_HOST:8080 |
| HTTPS (HTTP CONNECT over TLS) endpoint | https://YOUR_HOST:8443 |
| SOCKS5 endpoint | socks5://YOUR_HOST:1080 |
| Authentication | Username and password, or a trusted IP |
| Targeting | Product-specific; see the matrix below |
| Sessions | Rotating by default; sticky by session id |
Product controls
Section titled “Product controls”| Product | Targeting | Sessions |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited | Country | Rotating or sticky; caller-set lifetime in whole minutes, up to 24 hours (30 minutes on some services) |
| GB-based | Country, city, region, ASN | Rotating or sticky; caller-set lifetime from 1 second to 24 hours |
Unlimited: country and city targeting and sticky sessions are supported. GB-based: country, city, region, and ASN targeting is supported. Both Residential IPv4 products accept a caller-set session lifetime. Unsupported controls are hidden by the Endpoints tab and refused by the gateway instead of being ignored.
Targeting is written on the username only. The product-specific option list, with the accepted values, is in How to connect — kept in one place so it cannot drift from what the proxies actually honour.
Choose a session mode
Section titled “Choose a session mode”- Send no session for normal rotation.
rotateis accepted if an integration insists on naming it, and changes nothing — rotation is already the default. - Send a session id when a login, cart, or multi-page flow needs the same exit.
Set
lifetimein seconds, within the limits above, when the flow needs a specific continuity window. Without one, a default lifetime applies. - Keep a session id only for work that needs continuity. Reusing one identifier across unrelated jobs holds them all on a single IP.
Destination limit
Section titled “Destination limit”Residential IPv4 cannot reach IPv6-only destination hosts. Use a destination with an IPv4 address, or choose an IPv6 product whose assigned endpoint and exit match the job.
