Why residential proxies are not saved

This is normal behavior. Residential proxies are dynamic, and storing generated sessions in the Proxy List simply makes no sense.

Why it works this way

Residential proxies differ from datacenter and ISP proxies in that the IP address is not assigned to you permanently. Each time a session is generated, a new session with a unique identifier is created, and the IP of a real device is temporarily tied to it. Therefore, the list is not saved: it becomes outdated immediately after rotation.

Old sessions do not disappear

When you generate new proxies with different settings, the old ones keep working and their parameters do not change. Each session lives separately from the others.

Example

Suppose you generated German proxies:

relay-eu.proxyshard.com:8080:plan-limited-country-de-sid-aaaaaaaaa:xxxxxxxxx

Let's break down the connection string:

Part	Value
relay-eu.proxyshard.com	Load balancing server (relay)
8080	Server port
plan-limited	Proxy plan (limited - standard, unlimited - unlimited, premium - premium)
country-de	Connection country: Germany (de)
sid-aaaaaaaaa	Unique session ID to which the IP address is bound
xxxxxxxxx	Authorization password

If after that you generate, for example, US proxies, a new line will appear with country-us and a different sid. But the German session sid-aaaaaaaaa will not go anywhere and will continue working with the same IP until the session expires.

In short

• Proxy List does not save generated sessions. This is expected behavior

• Each session (sid) works independently

• A new generation does not break existing sessions

• If you need a permanent IP that doesn't disappear anywhere, use Datacenter or ISP proxies
