1. Instance Management

Edit Instance Remarks

In the management dashboard, click Edit Remark on any instance to assign custom tags (e.g. Amazon-US-Store-01 or TikTok-Account-LA). This helps teams isolate multiple stores without confusion.

Term Tracking

Every static proxy displays its precise start and expiration timestamp. When an instance has fewer than 3 days remaining, an amber alert banner appears in the console.

2. Auto-Renew Rules

• Execution Timing: Instances with Auto-Renew enabled automatically initiate renewal 24 hours before expiration.
• Payment Source: Funds are deducted directly from your account wallet balance.
• IP Retention: As long as the instance renews, your assigned static residential IP never changes, ensuring seamless session continuity.
• Grace Period: If renewal fails due to insufficient balance, an emergency 24-hour grace period applies before the node is decommissioned.

3. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the primary difference between static and rotating residential proxies?

Static residential proxies provide a fixed, unchanging IP address with unlimited bandwidth across your rental period. Rotating residential proxies bill per GB and rotate IPs frequently. For e-commerce stores and social media management, static proxies are mandatory to avoid security challenges.

Q2: Why is Dual-ISP critical?

Dual-ISP addresses are provisioned directly from tier-1 consumer carriers (e.g. AT&T, Verizon) and carry clean residential reputation, bypassing datacenter proxy detection engines.

Q3: When should I enable UDP?

UDP is beneficial for real-time applications:

• Live streaming (TikTok Live Studio, OBS streaming)
• VoIP & audio calls (WhatsApp Call, Telegram voice)
• Low-latency gaming For standard web browsing and store backends, standard TCP (HTTP/SOCKS5) is sufficient.
