Why residential proxies are not saved

This is normal behavior. Residential proxies are dynamic, and storing generated sessions in Proxy List simply doesn’t make sense.

Why it works this way

Residential proxies differ from datacenter and ISP proxies in that the IP address is not permanently assigned to you. With each generation, a new session is created with a unique identifier, to which the IP of a real device is temporarily linked. Therefore, the list is not saved: it becomes outdated immediately after rotation.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 do not change their parameters. Each session lives independently of 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 balancer 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, American proxies, a new line will appear with country-us and another sid. But the German session sid-aaaaaaaaa will not go away and will continue to work 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 does not go anywhere, use Datacenter or ISP proxies
