Most people buy the wrong one. A rotating pool is the default on every provider's pricing page, but if you are logging into an account, rotation is the thing working against you.
Free to install · AssumeIP shows your live exit IP
One address from a consumer ISP, assigned to you and held across sessions. The same IP today, tomorrow and next month. Sometimes sold as an ISP proxy or a dedicated residential IP.
A pool of thousands of addresses, with a different one issued per request or on a timer. Sold by the gigabyte and priced for volume. Some providers offer sticky sessions that hold one address for 10–60 minutes.
Anything tied to an account: marketplace storefronts, payment dashboards, ad accounts, anything with a login. A stable IP is the signal that you are the same person returning, which is exactly what these platforms look for.
High-volume, identity-free work — price checks, availability scraping, one-off requests at scale. Here a changing address is the point, spreading load so no single IP draws attention.
Look for the words static residential or ISP proxy. On a rotating plan, ask for the longest sticky session available — 30 to 60 minutes is common, and it is a compromise, not the same thing.
Check your exit IP, wait, then check again. AssumeIP shows the live exit IP, country and latency, so you can confirm the address held before you rely on it for a login.
Save a separate destination for each account or storefront, so each keeps its own stable address instead of sharing one.
No. A sticky session holds one address from a rotating pool for a limited window, typically 10 to 60 minutes. It helps a single sitting but the address changes afterwards, so the platform sees you arriving from somewhere new next time.
It is usually priced per IP per month rather than per gigabyte, because the provider reserves that address for you. Rotating plans amortise a shared pool across many customers, which is why they look cheaper per unit.
It can, if the behaviour coming from it looks automated. The address itself being residential and consistent is a positive signal; what you do through it still matters.
A common name for a static residential IP: an address registered to a consumer ISP but hosted in a datacenter for stability. It classifies as residential while behaving like a server connection.
Yes. AssumeIP bridges a static residential SOCKS5 proxy to iPhone, Android and macOS, and shows the live exit IP so you can confirm it held.
One per identity you want kept separate. If you run three storefronts that should not share a network fingerprint, that is three addresses.
