How NGINX routes through BytesFlows
Standard proxy forwarding ensures every request exits via clean residential IPs.
⚡
NGINX Request
The application or script initiates a request configured with BytesFlows proxy host and credentials.
🔐
Authentication & Geo
BytesFlows gateway verifies credentials and resolves geo-targeting requirements (-cc-US, -cc-GB, etc.).
🏠
Residential Exit Node
The request is forwarded through an authentic home broadband IP from our 65M+ pool.
🌐
Target Destination
The target API or website receives the request with zero datacenter signals or rate limiting.
Supports both rotating mode (new IP per request) and sticky sessions (same IP up to 60 minutes).
