Our Mobile Proxy services offer several different methods to change your IP address. One of these methods, the IP Reset URL feature, is a practical solution preferred especially when working with automation tools, bots, and custom software. This guide explains in detail the correct usage of the IP Reset URL, its format structure, and triggering methods.
What is IP Reset URL and What Does It Do?
IP Reset URL is a special API endpoint that allows you to remotely change the IP address used in your Mobile Proxy service. This endpoint renews your proxy's current IP address when triggered via HTTP request method and assigns you a different IP.
This feature is particularly useful in these situations:
- Need for programmatic IP changing when working with bots and automation tools
- Automatic IP rotation without requiring manual intervention
- IP renewal requirement at specific operation intervals
- Remote API-based management needs
IP Reset URL Format Structure
The IP Reset URL provided for your Mobile Proxy service is structured in this format:
https://livaproxy.com/api/rotate.php?proxy=HOST:PORT&username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD
Parameter descriptions:
- proxy: Mobile Proxy host address and port number (e.g., mobile.livaproxy.com:30162)
- username: Your proxy username (e.g., LVAM9B5)
- password: Your proxy password
Example Reset URL:
https://livaproxy.com/api/rotate.php?proxy=mobile.livaproxy.com:30162&username=LVAM9B5&password=YOURPASSWORD
You need to enter this URL exactly in this format into the tool or software you will use. It is important that all parameters are complete and correct.
How to Trigger IP Reset URL?
To trigger the IP Reset URL, it is sufficient to send an HTTP GET or HTTP POST request. This operation can be performed in several different ways:
1. Manual Triggering via Web Browser
The simplest test method is to paste the Reset URL directly into your browser's address bar and press Enter. When the URL is accessed, the IP change process is initiated and the new IP assignment is usually completed within 0-3 seconds.
2. Triggering with cURL Command
You can trigger from terminal or command line using cURL:
curl "https://livaproxy.com/api/rotate.php?proxy=mobile.livaproxy.com:30162&username=LVAM9B5&password=YOURPASSWORD"
3. Triggering with Programming Languages
You can perform automatic triggering using HTTP request libraries in programming languages like Python, PHP, JavaScript.
Python Example:
import requests
response = requests.get('https://livaproxy.com/api/rotate.php?proxy=mobile.livaproxy.com:30162&username=LVAM9B5&password=YOURPASSWORD')
print(response.text)
4. Usage in Bots and Automation Tools
Many bots and automation tools offer an "IP Reset URL" or "Rotation URL" field. It is sufficient to paste your Reset URL exactly into this field. The tool automatically performs the IP change by sending an HTTP request to this URL at the time intervals you specify or when needed.
Important Usage Rules
Triggering When Proxy Connection is Not Active
The most important point to note when triggering the IP Reset URL is that the Reset request must be made in a session where the Proxy connection is not active. That is:
- The HTTP request sent to the Reset URL should be made through your direct internet connection, not through the Proxy connection
- If all your internet traffic is routed through the Proxy, the Reset request may fail or produce unexpected results
- In bots and automation tools, a separate HTTP client or direct connection setting should be used for the Reset request
Reset Frequency and Time Intervals
There is no minimum waiting time for IP Reset operations in our Mobile Proxy services, but some recommendations for optimal usage:
- Too frequent Reset operations (e.g., several times per second) may affect system performance
- In ideal usage scenarios, waiting at least 10-15 seconds between Reset operations is recommended
- Each Reset operation is completed within 0-3 seconds, during which a brief interruption in connection may occur
IP Check After Reset Operation
You can use several methods to check whether the reset operation was successful:
- You can learn your new IP address by sending a request to https://api.ipify.org through the proxy
- You can view your current IP address on the Proxy detail page from your customer panel
- You can track the operation status by checking the response value of the request sent to the Reset URL
Common Usage Errors and Solutions
1. URL Format Errors
Problem: Missing or incorrect URL parameters
Solution: Make sure all parameters (proxy, username, password) are complete and correct. Special characters should be URL encoded.
2. Sending Reset Request Through Proxy
Problem: Attempting to access the Reset URL through the Proxy connection
Solution: Make sure the Reset request is made through your direct internet connection. Use "direct connection" or "bypass proxy" options in bot settings.
3. Authentication Errors
Problem: Username or password entered incorrectly
Solution: Check the username and password in your proxy delivery file, use copy-paste method for error-free transfer.

Other IP changing methods offered in our Mobile Proxy services besides IP Reset URL:
- Manual Reset: By clicking the "Change IP" button from the customer panel
- Automatic Reset: By setting automatic IP change at specific time intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes) through the panel
- Reset Proxy Connection: By providing automatic IP change through connecting via a special reset proxy port
