Session Stickiness
Establishing a session
The sessionid proxy header maintains the same IP address for unlimited time duration, as long as the IP remains in the pool. If the IP is no longer available or was removed due to quality problems, a new IP is assigned. To reuse an IP, use the same sessionid header with a unique identifier of 4 to 12 digits, e.g., sessionid-42831931 .
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-1293812:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessionid-2837218:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessionid-3832892:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessionid-585896:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessionid-789129:PASSWORD
Understanding sessionid header
When using a session ID like customer-USERNAME-sessionid-912937:PASSWORD, the proxy assigns an IP address (e.g., 1.1.1.1), which is valid indefinitely. Requests with the same sessionid will consistently return the same IP. A rare IP change might occur only if the current IP is no longer available in our pool.
