How to Set Up Residential, Mobile, ISP and Datacenter Proxies

At ProxyField, residential and mobile proxies are live, share one balance and use the same gateway, protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5), targeting and sessions. Residential is the default; add -mobile after the login for mobile IPs: <login>-mobile-country-us. Dedicated ISP and datacenter IPs are renewed by you in the dashboard for each 30-day term; nothing renews automatically. Dedicated IPs come as a list in your dashboard (ip:port:login:password), over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, each IP with its own login and password.

Gateway rotation. You always connect to the same address, and the provider picks a new exit IP for each request. Your code does nothing special. With ProxyField's rotation mode, you get a new IP on every request:

import requests

proxy = "http://<login>-country-us-city-new_york:<password>@gate.proxyfield.io:7000"
for _ in range(3):
    r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30)
    print(r.text)  # a different New York IP each time

List rotation. With static IPs (ISP, dedicated datacenter, or a list of sticky sessions), your code chooses the next proxy:

import itertools
import requests

proxies = [
    "http://<login>:<password>@203.0.113.10:8000",  # placeholder addresses
    "http://<login>:<password>@203.0.113.11:8000",
    "http://<login>:<password>@203.0.113.12:8000",
]
pool = itertools.cycle(proxies)
for url in ["https://example.com/a", "https://example.com/b", "https://example.com/c"]:
    p = next(pool)
    r = requests.get(url, proxies={"http": p, "https": p}, timeout=30)
    print(url, r.status_code)

Gateway rotation scales without code changes and spreads requests over the whole pool. List rotation gives you control over exactly which IP does what, which matters when an IP is tied to an account. Framework-specific rotation is in the Python, Scrapy, Playwright and Puppeteer guides.

A sticky session keeps the same exit IP across requests until the session time runs out, then switches. Use it when a site links your steps together: a login, a cart and checkout, a multi-page form, or a browser challenge that sets a cookie for the IP.

ProxyField sessions last from 30 s to 36 h (129,600 s), with presets of 1, 5, 10 and 30 minutes and 1, 3 and 6 hours. How a session is set in the username: -region-<region>, -session-<id> and -ttl-<seconds> (30 to 129,600 seconds, 20 minutes by default) after the location, as in <login>-country-us-region-new_york-city-new_york-session-he9f2qga-ttl-600. ProxyField allows unlimited concurrent threads. Choose a session length a little longer than the task it covers; sticky vs rotating proxies compares the two modes task by task, and rotating proxies covers what happens when a session ends early.

1. Buy traffic. The Easy Trial is 1 GB for $2.95, with no subscription, and the traffic never expires. Access opens once the payment is confirmed.
2. Pick how you sign in: the username and password from your account, or add your public IP to the allowlist and connect to the port you set up in the dashboard, where the location and session are set (proxy authentication). The steps below use the username and password.
3. Choose the location in the username. <login>-country-us-city-new_york asks for a New York IP; ProxyField targets by country, region and city, with all 50 US states.
4. Choose rotation or a sticky session (above).
5. Test it: curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:7000 -U "<login>-country-us-city-new_york:<password>" https://api.ipify.org prints the exit IP.
6. Put it in your tool, in the format the tool wants (proxy format).

The quick start walks through the same steps, and location targeting lists the targeting options.

Mobile proxies use the same gateway, port and username options as residential; the exit IPs sit on 5G, 4G and LTE carrier networks. Carriers share each public IP among many subscribers (carrier-grade NAT), so one mobile IP can carry traffic from many real phones at once. Two habits help:

• Rotate less often than with residential IPs. A sticky session of several minutes looks more like one phone than a new IP on every request.
• Target only by country, region and city. ProxyField does not offer carrier targeting; the mobile pages list the carrier networks the IPs run on in each country.

A "clean LTE proxy" usually means an LTE IP that has not been flagged by the sites you use. No provider can promise that for every site, so test on your own target first; mobile vs residential proxies compares the two.

ISP proxies (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPv4 proxies are fixed addresses you keep for a 30-day term:

1. Buy the number of IPs you need, and renew them in your dashboard before the term ends.
2. Download or copy the list, usually one host:port:user:pass line per IP.
3. Assign IPs deliberately: one IP per account or per profile for logged-in work, or cycle the list in code (above) for public pages.
4. Stop sending a site's requests through an IP it blocks, rather than retrying on it.

Rotating datacenter proxies are priced per GB and suit sites with no anti-bot rules. They are delivered through the same gateway, gate.proxyfield.io:7000, over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 with your username and password (or the allowlist, on the port you set up in the dashboard). The -dc key after the login chooses the product, as -mobile does for mobile: <login>-dc-country-us. They target by country only, with per-request rotation and sticky sessions as on residential. ISP vs residential proxies explains when a fixed IP is worth it.

If requests still fail with fresh IPs, the cause is usually headers, request rate or the browser, not the IP: see why is my proxy not working.
