How to Create a Sticky Session

To make your residential session sticky, add the -session- and -lifetime- parameters to your proxy username, followed by a session ID and the duration in minutes. For example, to request a 5-minute sticky session:
Username
The maximum sticky session duration is 24 hours (1440 minutes). The proxy IP is only kept while the node serving it remains online. If the node goes offline, the IP rotates automatically, even if the session duration has not yet expired.

Combining Sticky Sessions with Other Parameters

Sticky sessions can be combined with other Regular Residential parameters, including country targeting. Add the -country- parameter before the session parameters. For the full list of country codes, see Country Targeting.
