The Purchase Of MarsProxies Residential Proxies

Our Residential proxies are a traffic-based, pay-as-you-go plan. By ordering a larger amount of traffic at once, you can get a discount that significantly lowers the starting price (down to $3.50 per GB).

Once purchased, the Residential traffic never expires. It remains active until you spend it, so bulk orders offer a great way to make the most out of your purchase.

Configuration Of MarsProxies Residential Proxies

Before you start using your Residential proxies, it’s important to set them up properly. Here’s a specific example.

UR11_new.png
  1. Here, we’ll select the source Country for our proxies. We’ll choose Italy. You can also set a larger number of countries.

  2. Once our country (or countries) are selected, the State/Region field becomes available. It allows us to select a specific region or city from the countries we selected. In this case, we’ll choose Rome.

  3. The Rotation option allows us to select between rotating (randomized) IPs and sticky IPs (using the same IP for up to 7 days). We’ll use sticky IPs.

  4. In terms of proxy type, we can select HTTP/HTTPS or SOCKS5. We’ll choose SOCKS5.

  5. For the hostname format, we’ll go with DNS because our tool accepts both formats.

  6. Here you can set the duration of your sessions in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. We'll go with 30 minutes.

  7. The proxy list reflects the choices we’ve made above. We selected proxies from Rome, Italy that use SOCKS5 and rotate every 24 hours.

  8. From here, we can modify the number of sessions we need in the Quantity section.

  9. We can also change the Format as needed to ensure our tools will recognize the credentials properly.

  10. Finally, we can reset the password for all generated sessions, copy our proxy list to your clipboard, or download it as a .txt file to import it into our tools.
