​
Sticky Proxies

Decodo sticky sessions allow a proxy IP address to persist for up to 24hours (1440 minutes) before it’s rotated to a different IP address.
The default sticky session time is 10minutes.

​
Dashboard Proxy List Generation

To generate an endpoint list, navigate to the Dashboard → Proxy setup section.
On the Proxy setup page, you can select between 1, 10, 30, or 60-minute sessions from a drop-down menu or specify a custom duration of up to 24hours.

​
Custom Session Duration

You can use the sessionduration parameter together with the proxy username or a whitelisted IP to extend the length of a session up to 24hours (1440 minutes).
  • The sessionduration parameter accepts any integer (minute) value between 1 and 1440.
  • A 1440 minute duration is the longest possible proxy session.

​
Premature Rotation

The longer the session you have, the more chances there are that the IP will rotate before your specified time due to the mobile device at the end going offline.

​
Multiple Concurrent Sticky Sessions

Adding the session variable to the proxy username or using a whitelisted IP will allow the proxy IP address to persist for multiple requests.
Different session parameter values are used to differentiate between active sessions and behave just like the different sticky proxy ports with our country endpoints.
  • session-1
  • session-2

​
IP Lock

With session parameter if IP is no longer available, it will automatically rotate to a new one. The session_iplock parameter is used in cases when IP rotation is not needed and same IP must be kept for entire session duration. With this parameter if IP is no longer available, proxy will result with 502 status code and will not grant you a new IP during desired session duration. In order to format a request using session_iplock you must:
  1. Use a username:password proxy connection.
  2. Add session_iplock-name parameter (name - any string given to a session).
  3. Add sessionduration parameter (sessionduration - value between 1 and 1440).
