What changed: we moved Pool 3 onto a faster route. In our tests the median time of a request through Pool 3 dropped by about 20-45% for US targets, and by about 10-40% for other countries, depending on where you connect from.
- The gain is largest for US exits, and for customers connecting from Asia and the US.
- Sticky sessions behave as before: the same session keeps the same IP.
- Nothing changes in your settings. Existing Pool 3 logins pick up the new route on their own.
Which pool is fastest
Pool 3 keeps its place in the pool comparison. Pool 2 is still the quicker pool for US targets in our latest tests.
What to do
You do not need to change anything. If speed matters for your workload, run a few requests through each pool using the Compare the pools option in the proxy generator and keep the one that suits your targets. Pool details and prices are on the residential proxies page.
