Multiple threads represent the number of sessions available at the same time.
  • Each time you send a request through a proxy, it creates a session.
  • If you send multiple requests at the same time, you are running multiple concurrent sessions.
Browsing webpages may generate multiple threads even with a single session to load various resources.

​
Default Thread Limitations

Your concurrent thread limit scales with the number of IPs on your subscription:
  • Default limit: 100 concurrent threads per IP, until the Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is reached.
  • After FUP is reached: 1 concurrent thread per IP, for the remainder of the subscription period.
For example, a 200 IP subscription gets 20000 concurrent threads by default. Once FUP is triggered, that drops to 200 threads (1 per IP) until the next subscription period starts.

​
Thread Limits per Proxy User

The amount of limited threads is distributed equally among all proxy users you have.For example, if you have 200 IPs (giving you 20000 concurrent threads) and have 4 proxy users – each proxy user will have a limit of 5000 concurrent threads.

​
Fair Usage Policy Triggers

To ensure fair use of services and maintain optimal performance for all customers, we apply the Fair Usage Policy (FUP) for Dedicated ISP proxies when both of the following conditions are met:
  1. Traffic per individual IP exceeds 100GB, AND
  2. Total traffic usage for a subscription period exceeds 10TB.

​
How FUP Limitations Work

Once your usage exceeds the traffic limits described above, we take measures to ensure fair usage across all users and reduce the number of concurrent sessions available for the remaining subscription period.The dynamic threshold is calculated as 100GB for every IP. For example:
  1. If you have purchased 200 IPs, the FUP threshold will be 20TB (100GB times 200). Once this limit of 20TB is reached and the fair usage policy applied, concurrent sessions will be reduced from 20000 threads (100 threads per IP) to 200 threads ( 1 thread per IP).
  2. However, If you have purchased 10 IPs, the FUP limitations will only take affect if you exceed 10TB of data usage.
  • The FUP limitations are reset after a new subscription period is started.
