When using proxy services, the frequency of IP address changes is a critical parameter for your use case. The IP structures of different proxy types we offer at LivaProxy work differently, and understanding these differences is essential for choosing the service that fits your needs.
The proxy services we offer at LivaProxy are divided into two main categories in terms of IP rotation logic:
In our IPv4 Proxy (Datacenter and ISP) services, the IP address is completely static. The IP address assigned to you remains unchanged throughout your service period, and you continuously access the internet through the same IP. These services are dedicated (exclusive to you), and the assigned IP addresses belong only to you.
Advantages of static IP structure:
In our Mobile Proxy services, the IP address is dynamic and can be changed on demand. These services operate over mobile operator infrastructure and use the IP pool of real mobile devices.
Advantages of dynamic IP structure:
In our Mobile Proxy services, IP rotation is completely under user control and can be performed through three different methods:
You can manually change your IP address at any time using the "IP Reset" button in your customer panel. The reset process completes in an average of 0-3 seconds and assigns you a new IP address.
You can perform IP reset operations programmatically using your API key, which can be integrated into your automation systems. This method allows your software to automatically change IPs under specific conditions.
By activating the "Automatic IP Reset" feature from your customer panel, you can enable automatic IP address changes at intervals you specify (based on seconds, minutes, or hours). Automatic reset can be configured with minimum 60-second (1 minute) intervals.
IP rotation frequency in our Mobile Proxy services is subject to system limits:
Maximum Reset Frequency: You can perform IP change operations a maximum of 2 times within one minute. This restriction is necessary to protect operator infrastructure and maintain service quality.
When automatic reset is disabled and manual reset is not performed, your IP address can remain static for days, even until the end of your service period. This situation can be advantageous for scenarios where you need to build IP history.
| Scenario | Recommended Proxy Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Social media account management | Mobile Proxy (manual reset) | IP rotation when needed, but generally static |
| Web scraping / data collection | Rotating Proxy | Automatic different IP for each request |
| E-commerce account security | ISP IPv4 Proxy | Continuously static, reliable IP |
| Game servers | Datacenter IPv4 Proxy | Low latency, static IP |
| Rate limit bypass | Mobile Proxy (automatic reset) | Regular IP rotation |
The fundamental differences between these two service types that our customers often confuse:
IPv4 Proxy (Datacenter/ISP):
Mobile Proxy:
Q: If I don't change the IP in Mobile Proxy, will I use the same IP continuously?
Yes, if you disable the automatic reset feature and don't perform manual resets, your IP address can remain the same for days, even until the end of your service period.
Q: I need to use a different IP for each operation, which service should I choose?
For scenarios requiring automatic different IPs for each request, you should prefer our Rotating Proxy or Rotating IPv6 Proxy services. In these services, a different IP address rotates with each HTTP request.
Q: Can I change the IP in IPv4 Proxy?
In IPv4 Proxy services, the IP address is static and no change feature is offered. If you need IP rotation, you should prefer Mobile Proxy or Rotating Proxy services.
Q: How many times per second can I change IP in Mobile Proxy?
In our Mobile Proxy services, you can perform IP change operations a maximum of 2 times within one minute. This means approximately one IP change every 30 seconds.
