Sticky sessions
By default every request can leave from a different IP. Add a session name to the password and requests that share it try to keep the same IP:
YOUR_KEY:standard_session-checkout1_ttl-30
session-checkout1 is any name you choose. ttl-30 asks for the IP to be held for up to 30 minutes.
Choosing a TTL
Pick the shortest time that covers one complete flow: a login and the pages after it, a checkout, a form. The portal's builder offers 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours; the password accepts any whole number of minutes.
Use a new session name whenever you want a fresh IP — for example one name per account or per task.
When the IP changes anyway
Residential IPs belong to real connections that can drop at any time. When that happens the session moves to a new IP. Build your flow to survive it: check you are still logged in rather than assuming it.
Which tiers support it
- Timed sessions (with
ttl) —standard,cleanproxy,cleanproxy_geo,sticky_cleanandmobile. - Rotating-only products do not accept a session at all; the portal says so when you pick one.
For long, multi-step workflows on strict websites, sticky_clean is built for exactly this.
