Overview Introduction
ISP proxies combine the speed of datacenter infrastructure with IPs assigned by real Internet Service Providers. These are static dedicated IPs - you keep the same IP for your entire subscription period.
Step 1 What Are ISP Proxies?
ISP proxies are unique because:
- ISP-registered IPs: Registered to telecom networks rather than cloud hosts; the exact network depends on location and stock
- Datacenter Speed: Hosted on fast infrastructure
- Static Dedicated: Same IP for your entire subscription period
- High Trust: Many sites treat them more like home or business connections
Tip: ISP proxies are perfect when you need consistent static IPs that won't get flagged as datacenter.
Step 2 ISP Proxy Dashboard
Your ISP proxies appear in the ISP Proxies section:
- Connection string with host and port
- Authentication credentials
- Assigned country/location
- Subscription status and expiration
Step 3 Connection Setup
Connect to your ISP proxy:
BASH
# Connection format (each proxy has its own, shown in your dashboard)
Host: YOUR_PROXY_IP
Port: (your assigned port)
Username: your_auth_username
Password: your_auth_password
# Test connection
curl -x http://YOUR_PROXY_IP:YOUR_PORT \
-U "auth_user:auth_pass" \

ISP proxies are ideal for:
| Use Case | Why ISP Works |
|---|---|
| E-commerce | Consistent IP for account management |
| Sneaker Bots | Trusted IPs that bypass detection |
| Account Management | Static IP per account |
| Ticket Purchasing | Reliable checkout sessions |
| Streaming | Geo-unlocking with trusted IPs |
| Gaming | Stable connection with clean reputation |
Step 5 ISP vs Residential vs Datacenter
How ISP compares to other types:
| Feature | ISP | Residential | Datacenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Fast | Medium | Fastest |
| Trust Level | High | Highest | Lower |
| IP Rotation | Static | 5-min auto | Static |
| Price | Medium | Per GB | Lowest |
| Availability | Limited | Large Pool | Large |
Summary Conclusion
ISP proxies offer the best of both worlds - the trust of residential IPs with the speed of datacenter infrastructure. Static dedicated IPs ensure maximum stability and consistency. Choose them for account management and services that actively detect datacenter IPs.
