Why Residential proxies are not saved

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

Why it works this way

Residential proxies differ from Datacenter and ISP proxies because proxy IP addresses are hosted on real residential devices.

Each generation creates a new session with a unique identifier, to which an IP is temporarily bound. That is why the list is not saved: it becomes outdated immediately after rotation.

Old sessions do not disappear

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 tariff (limited - regular, unlimited - unlimited, premium - premium)

country-de

Connection country: Germany (de)

sid-aaaaaaaaa

Unique session ID to which the IP address is bound

xxxxxxxxx

Connection password

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