The requests are made by {key:value} pairs. The key represents the GateWay and the value represents the actual IP.

In our dashboard you will see all the different configurations for high rotation, 1 minute, 10 minutes and 30 minutes persistent sessions.

The Sticky country  gateways can be found in your dashboard.

Port ranges (value) are defined based on the following locig:

10 minutes sticky port values: +0 – + 2000

30 minutes sticky port values: +4001 – + 6000

1 minutes sticky port values: +2001 – + 4000

For example, if you want to form a list containing all our IPs in U.S. all you need to do is changing the values according to our available IPs in the dashboard.

U.S. IPs GateWay Key Example:

key = 'us-s1.geosurf.io'

U.S. IPs Port Value Example:

value = 10231

Proper Request Example:

>>> {key:value}

~~~ {'us-s1.geosurf.io': 10231}

This service is currently available for all major US cities and we will continue to add more and more cities in the near future.

How it works?

• Authentication – The authentication is done the same way as all other gateways, If your IP is whitelisted in our system you can start using the City gateway immediately.
• City selection – The city gateway allows you to choose from 100 US cities, each city has its own port range.
• Limits – Like all other GSR services you are unlimited with number of requests/sessions or connections, concurrent connections are limited to 20 per machine IP.
• Gateway domain – us-city1.geosurf.io

Below is a list of all available cities, and their ports:

This Residential IP Gateway that allows you to choose State’s IPs. This service is available for all 50 US states and Washington DC.

How it works?

• Authentication – The authentication is done in the same way as all other gateways, so, if your IP is white-listed in our system you can start using the State gateway immediately
• State selection – The State gateway allows you to choose from all states using “loc” proxy header.
• Session persistence – The state gateway allows you to maintain session persistence and open multiple session using the “X-Session” proxy header.
• Limits – Like all other GSR services you have unlimited number of requests/sessions or connections and unlimited concurrent connections.
• Gateway domain – state.geosurf.io

Using proxy headers breaks us free from the limits forced by fixed gateway:port combinations and allows you to choose the session persistence interval and have multiple locations in the same gateway.

Session Persistence:

• If you keep sending requests to the same session number, you can maintain the same IP for any amount of time.
• If no request is sent to the same session number for more than 60 seconds, the connection will drop.

Multiple Locations in the same gateway:

• Choosing the location is more intuitive, simple select the location using country and state ISO abbreviations and place it into “loc” proxy headers, for example, “loc: US-NY” for New York, USA.

Simple CURL example

Here’s a simple CURL example using an IP from New York, USA:

• curl -x state.geosurf.io:8000 –proxy-header “loc: US-NY” –proxy-header “X-session: 12345-12345” geo.geosurf.io

When should I use Sticky IPs?

You should use Sticky IPs when you must run sequential requests to the target domain or website in a single session.

Examples: Running requests to several web pages from the same website, Navigating through several web pages using the same session etc.

Why shouldn’t I use the high rotation gateway for this use case?

If you use the high rotation gateway the IP address will change for every request you make.

When you are making requests trying to retrieve information from multiple web pages on the same website you will get a high fail rate.

There are 2 factors were combined might cause a high fail rate in a high probability:

1. Statistics: You probably count a successful query only when you successfully get the data from all the web pages in that session.

Now assuming a 95% success rate for all IPs, and a query which consists of 10 web pages:

Running a single session consisting of 10 request, each one IPs with to the same target domain is like flipping a coin 10 times.

Except now the probability for success is 95% for each flip where you expect you get a success every time. The probability for that is 0.95^10 =~ 60%.

2. User behavior mismatch – It is highly unlikely that the same user runs 10 different consecutive queries from 10 different locations.

This behavior will be easily recognized by the target and your request will either be blocked or cloaked.

How will using Sticky IPs resolve it?

Using the right sticky IP time based on the session length for every query in the same session will solve the 2 issues, why?

o Statistics – You will be running all the requests from the same IP, so it’s not like flipping a coin every time (Variables are dependent)

o User behavior match – It’s reasonable for a user to go through several google pages for the same keyword using the same IP.

The Correct sticky time is based on the required session length.

You should choose a sticky time which is higher then the session length, keeping in mind that residential IPs tend to be a bit slower than DataCenter IPs.

We also suggest adding a 20% safety factor.

For example: For a 30 seconds required session + 20% safety factor (36 sec), we suggest using the 1 minute sticky IP time.

For a 55 seconds required session + 20% safety factor (66 seconds), we suggest using the 10 minutes sticky IP time.

When and Where should I use the High Rotation gateway?

In short what is the High rotation gateway?

Whether you are using our residential IPs network or Premium Static IPs, choosing a location using high rotation gateway ensures that your request will be sent through a different IP whithin the specified location.

Why should I choose a location using the High rotation gateway?

There are 2 main reasons for using the high rotation gateway:

1) More locations – The high rotation gateway is configured to have all the available countries in the Residential IPs network

2) Inbuilt IP rotation  – The high rotation gateway is pre-configured with a round-robin IP rotation mechanism, this means that we take care of the IP rotation for you.

Each request will be sent through a different IP address within the set location.

What are the optimal usecases for High rotation?

1) If your use case is requires sending every request through a different IP.

2) Your are running on a single request per session model

If your use case requres longer session times or sending multiple requests from the same IP in a set ammount of time, you should consider using one of the Sticky IPs gateways.
