Proxiware offers three residential proxy products suited to different budgets and workloads. This guide covers all three so you can understand what each one offers and how to use it.
Premium Residential Proxies
Our flagship residential product. Access a pool of 100M+ IPs across 165+ countries with the broadest set of targeting and protocol options available.
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SOCKS5-UDP (QUIC)
Targeting: Country, State, City, ASN, ZIP code, OS (Android, Windows, Mac)
Sessions: Rotating (new IP per request) or sticky (up to 1440 minutes depending on pool)
Authentication: Username/password or IP whitelisting
Endpoint: proxy.proxiware.com:1337
Data rollover: Unused GB carry over to your next billing cycle automatically on renewal.
Pool Selection
Premium Residential proxies include 5 pools with different capability sets. Your dashboard automatically routes you to a compatible pool based on your targeting selections, or you can manually select a pool under Advanced Settings.
Pool capabilities at a glance:
Pool 1: HTTP, SOCKS5 — Country, State, City, ASN targeting — Sessions up to 1440m
Pool 2: HTTP, SOCKS5, SOCKS5-UDP — Country, State, City targeting — Sessions up to 1440m
Pool 3: HTTP, SOCKS5 — Country, State, City, OS targeting — Sessions up to 1440m
Pool 4: HTTP, SOCKS5 — Country, State, City targeting — Sessions up to 120m
Pool 5: HTTP, SOCKS5, SOCKS5-UDP — Country, State, City targeting — Sessions up to 1440m
Eco Residential Proxies
A budget-friendly residential option with the same rotation and session controls as Premium — at a lower price point. Best for projects that do not require the largest IP pool or advanced targeting.
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SOCKS5-UDP (QUIC)
Targeting: Country, State, City
Sessions: Rotating or sticky
Authentication: Username/password or IP whitelisting
Endpoint: proxy.proxiware.com:1337
Data rollover: Unused GB carry over to your next billing cycle automatically on renewal.
Unlimited Residential Proxies
Flat-rate unlimited bandwidth residential proxies for high-volume operations. No GB caps, no throttling — pay for time, not data.
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Targeting: Country, City (195 countries, 2M+ IPs)
Sessions: Rotating or sticky
Authentication: Username/password or IP whitelisting
Endpoint: unlimited.proxiware.com
Speed Tiers
Unlimited Residential plans are available in the following speed tiers: 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 600 Mbps, 800 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).
Duration Options
Plans are available for 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. Choose the duration that fits your workload — shorter plans are ideal for burst operations, longer plans for sustained high-volume tasks.
Unlimited Residential plans are non-refundable. If you would like to test before purchasing, contact our support team and we may be able to arrange a trial depending on your use case.
A Note on Sticky Sessions
Sticky sessions on residential proxies work on a best-effort basis. Because residential IPs belong to real devices on real networks, a node can go offline at any time — due to loss of internet access, device unavailability, or other factors outside our control. We route sticky session requests to nodes we believe are likely to hold for the requested duration, but we cannot guarantee the session will remain active for its full duration. If a node drops, the session will reset and a new IP will be assigned.
Connecting Your Proxy
Port 1337 is a dual-mode port that handles both HTTP and SOCKS5 — the protocol is determined by how you configure your client, not the port itself.
HTTP connection:
http://username:password@proxy.proxiware.com:1337
SOCKS5 connection:
socks5://username:password@proxy.proxiware.com:1337
QUIC support: QUIC runs over UDP and requires SOCKS5-UDP. To use QUIC, configure your client as SOCKS5 (not HTTP) using the SOCKS5 connection string above. QUIC is supported on Premium Residential (Pools 2 and 5) and Eco Residential. It is not available on Unlimited Residential.
For country targeting, append the country code to your username:
http://user-country-us:password@proxy.proxiware.com:1337
Full code examples in Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, and cURL are available in the documentation.
