Rotating or static?

Rotating proxies give you a new IP on every request or after a time you set, which suits scraping, price monitoring and ad verification. Static IPs, 24-hour IPs and IP Vault addresses keep one address, which suits accounts that must look the same each time. Residential and mobile IPs look like ordinary households and phones; datacenter IPs are faster and cheaper but are more often blocked.

For detailed trade-offs, read residential vs datacenter, residential vs mobile and residential vs ISP.

How every product connects

The connection format is the same across rotating products: gateway gw.nefo.net, port 9000, and targeting set in the username with tokens such as -country-us, -city-losangeles and -session-<id>. HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 are supported, with username/password or IP allowlist authentication. Each product has its own tutorial in this section; start from the list below.
