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 That is why the list is not saved: it becomes outdated immediately after rotation.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
When you generate new proxies with different settings, the old ones continue to work and do not change their parameters. Each session exists separately from the others.
Example
Suppose you generated German proxies:
relay-eu.proxyshard.com:8080:plan-limited-country-de-sid-aaaaaaaaa:xxxxxxxxxLet'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.
If you need a permanent IP, use Datacenter or ISP proxies
Proxies from these sections have a static IP and are issued only to one user
