How can I use the Residential Proxies?

With our Residential Proxies, you can access a proxy pool of over 80 million IPs through the Residential Proxy endpoint. These proxies use a Backbone Connection through a domain name (p.webshare.io) rather than a fixed IP, with flexible session options depending on how you set up your connection.


Connecting to your proxies

The easiest way to set up a connection is through the Endpoint Generator. It lets you customize your:

  • Authentication method: Default user, Sub-user, or Authorized IP

  • Location: target a specific country, or a city (Rotating Residential is currently the only plan that supports city selection)

  • Session type: Rotating or Sticky sessions

  • Number of endpoints: generate as many as you need, then copy or export them

For a full walkthrough, see our Endpoint Generator guide.


Using an IP address instead of a domain

If your program needs an IP address rather than the p.webshare.io domain, go to the Proxy List and click the convert symbol next to the domain name to get the IP address you need:


Using proxies from a specific country

If you have proxies from multiple countries but only want to use ones from a specific country, add the country code to the username field. For example, us for the USA or gb for the UK.

To find the country codes, filter the Proxy List by country, and they'll appear in the username field.
