Session Stickiness

Establishing a session

To maintain a consistent IP address with the sessionid proxy header, the same IP can be used for up to 10 minutes, provided it stays in the available pool. If the IP is no longer available or removed due to quality issues, a new IP is assigned. To reuse an IP, apply the same sessionid header alongside a unique identifier comprising 4 to 10 digits, like.

For session duration adjustments in case it is needed, contact us at [email protected].

Credentials list of examples for different sessions

Examples below contain a list of credentials that establish a new unique session.

customer-USERNAME-sessionid-3821319:PASSWORD customer-USERNAME-sessionid-192938:PASSWORD customer-USERNAME-sessionid-489582:PASSWORD customer-USERNAME-sessionid-283881:PASSWORD customer-USERNAME-sessionid-891928:PASSWORD

Understanding sessionid header

When using a session ID like customer-USERNAME-sessionid-128338:PASSWORD, the proxy assigns an IP address (e.g., 1.1.1.1), which is valid for technicaly as long as the server is active, but if the old IP actually becomes unavailable, it will be replaced.

curl --proxytunnel --proxy "https://customer-USERNAME-sessionid-128338:[email protected]:1080" https://ip.goproxies.com

npm install axios https-proxy-agent

// sessionid-example.js
const axios = require('axios');
const { HttpsProxyAgent } = require('https-proxy-agent');

const username = 'customer-USERNAME-sessionid-3821319'; // unique session ID
const password = 'PASSWORD';
const proxyUrl = `http://${encodeURIComponent(username)}:${encodeURIComponent(password)}@hosting.goproxies.com:1080`;
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyUrl);

(async () => {
  try {
    const res = await axios.get('https://ip.goproxies.com', { httpsAgent: agent, timeout: 10000 });
    console.log('status:', res.status);
    console.log('body:', res.data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('request error:', err.message);
  }
})();
