Session Management
Session Type
1024Proxy’s Unlimited Traffic & Bandwidth Plans offer two session modes to control how proxy IPs are assigned and used:
Sticky IP Session
Rotating IP Session
Different session types are suitable for different business scenarios. Choosing the right session mode can significantly improve stability, success rate, and account security.
Sticky IP Session
A Sticky IP session means that the same IP address is assigned and used throughout a single session cycle. As long as the session does not expire or is not manually disconnected, all subsequent requests will continue to use the same IP.
With 1024Proxy, the sticky session duration can be set from 1 to 120 minutes, allowing a single IP to remain fixed for continuous requests during that period.
Key Features
✅ IP remains unchanged during the session validity period
✅ User behavior appears more like that of a real user
✅ Reduces risk control issues caused by frequent IP changes
✅ Ideal for scenarios requiring login or continuous operations
Use Cases
Account login and long-term online operations (1–120 minutes; for longer-term operations, choose Long-Term Static ISP IPs)
Social media account management (login, browsing, posting) (1–120 minutes; for longer-term operations, choose Long-Term Static ISP IPs)
Cross-border e-commerce store backend management (1–120 minutes; for longer-term operations, choose Long-Term Static ISP IPs)
Businesses that need to maintain cookies or session states
Continuous request tasks in automation scripts
Usage Recommendations
Use an appropriate session duration based on your needs
Avoid high-frequency or abnormal behavior under the same IP
If an IP becomes abnormal, manually start a new session to obtain a new IP
Rotating IP Session
A Rotating IP session automatically assigns a different proxy IP for each request or within very short intervals, without requiring manual switching. There is no session duration setting, and the IP cannot remain fixed for a defined period.
Key Features
🔄 Automatic IP rotation for every request
🔄 High utilization of proxy pool resources
🔄 Effectively distributes access pressure
🔄 No need to maintain session states
Use Cases
Large-scale web scraping and data collection
Search engine result scraping
Price monitoring and sentiment analysis
Public data crawling without login requirements
High-concurrency, short-request workloads
Usage Recommendations
Not suitable for scenarios requiring login or persistent sessions
Control request frequency to simulate real user behavior
Combine with country / city / ASN parameters for precise IP rotation
How to Choose the Right Session Type
Usage Requirement
Recommended Session Type
Login required / identity persistence
Sticky IP Session
High-frequency access, no login
Rotating IP Session
Social media / e-commerce accounts
Sticky IP Session
Web crawling / data collection
Rotating IP Session
Risk-control-sensitive operations
Sticky IP + reasonable request frequency
Summary
The core difference between Sticky IP sessions and Rotating IP sessions in 1024Proxy lies in whether the IP remains stable.
Users can flexibly choose or combine session modes based on their needs for stability, concurrency, and anonymity, ensuring higher business success rates while maintaining security.
Example Code
Below is an example using a Germany proxy IP, demonstrating how to set the session type by adding the parameters
-sid-Config Parameters-t-num to enable timed IP rotation or automatic rotation.
Rotating IP Mode
In this mode, the IP is not fixed. A new IP is automatically assigned for each request.
HTTP(S)
SOCKS5
Sticky IP Mode
In this mode, the IP remains fixed for the configured sticky session duration.
