Sticky IPv6 Proxies
Hold the same IPv6 address for the length of a session instead of rotating mid-flow, drawn from a pool of roughly 80 octillion IPv6 addresses, the largest address space and widest spread of any proxy type. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address space so vast that parallel sticky sessions sit on distinct IPs across that enormous range. When a task needs to stay on one address, a login, a cart, a paginated crawl, sticky IPv6 keeps that IP steady so the session does not break. One gateway, the same IPv6 from start to finish.
80 octillion IPv6 addresses Same IP per session Largest pool, widest spread
A stable IP from the largest address space
Sticky sessions keep one IPv6 in place for as long as a task needs it, while still drawing from the largest IP pool and widest address spread we offer.
Same IPv6 per session
Hold one IPv6 address steady for the length of a session so a login, cart or multi-step job stays on a single IP instead of changing mid-flow.
Stable stateful tasks
Sessions, cookies and tokens that are tied to an IP stay valid because the address does not shift, so flows that break on rotation run cleanly.
Largest pool, widest spread
IPv6 abundance gives you the biggest address space of any type we run, so sticky sessions sit on distinct IPs across a vast range instead of crowding a narrow block. Every type and both modes are included in one plan at the same price.
Vast pool to draw from
Each new session pulls a fresh IPv6 from a pool of 80 octillion IPv6 addresses, so parallel sticky sessions sit on distinct addresses rather than crowding one range.
Switch modes any time
Sticky and rotating both ship in every plan. Flip a session from sticky to rotating IPv6 from your dashboard with no code change.
One gateway endpoint
Reach the sticky IPv6 pool through a single host over HTTPS or SOCKS5, ready to drop into your existing rotating proxy API setup.
What sticky IPv6 proxies are and how a session holds one IP
A sticky IPv6 proxy keeps the same IPv6 address assigned to you for the duration of a session instead of swapping it on every request. You connect through one gateway, the gateway pins an IPv6 from the pool to your session, and every request in that session exits from that same address until the session ends. This is the opposite behavior to rotating: where rotation maximizes spread by changing the IP constantly, sticky maximizes stability by holding it still. The reason that matters is that a great deal of work on the web is stateful. A login sets a cookie, a shopping cart tracks a basket, a multi-page result set carries pagination state, and many sites bind that state to the IP that started it. If the address changes partway through, the site sees a different visitor and the session falls apart, forcing a re-login or a reset. Sticky IPv6 prevents that by giving the whole flow one consistent address from start to finish, all while still drawing on the same vast IPv6 proxies pool, the largest address space we run. Sticky is one of two modes on that pool, the steady counterpart to rotating, and every type and both modes are included in one plan at the same price.
When to choose sticky IPv6 over rotating
Reach for sticky IPv6 whenever a task has to stay on a single IP to work, and you want the widest address spread on targets that support the protocol. The clearest cases are anything that involves authentication or a running state: signing into an account and performing a sequence of actions, adding items to a cart and walking through a checkout, stepping through a paginated or filtered result set where the server remembers your position, or any automation that must look like one continuous visitor rather than a stream of unrelated requests. Sticky IPv6 also suits gentler, lower-rate monitoring where you want a stable identity rather than maximum spread, such as keeping a steady watch on a specific listing, dashboard or feed over time. The dividing line is simple. If the job is wide and stateless, like high-volume web scraping where the goal is to fan a huge crawl across as many addresses as possible, rotating IPv6 is the better tool. If the job is narrow and stateful, where one address has to persist for a flow to hold together, sticky IPv6 is what you want, and both modes live in the same plan so you can use each where it fits.
The honest IPv4-only caveat
The same limitation that applies to all IPv6 proxies applies here: not every site is reachable over IPv6. A large and growing share of the web is dual-stack and answers on IPv6 happily, but some destinations remain IPv4-only and will not respond to an IPv6 request at all. Before you build a sticky session against a target, confirm it resolves and serves over IPv6, because a session cannot stay sticky on a site that never accepts the connection in the first place. It is also worth knowing that IPv6 ranges are easier for a site to fingerprint than carrier or residential addresses, so the most heavily defended, bot-hostile targets may still challenge a sticky IPv6 session even though the IP stays constant. For a stateful task on one of those high-security sites, a higher-trust sticky type such as residential or mobile is the safer choice, and because every type ships in the same plan you can hold a sticky session on whichever one the target accepts. For stable sessions on IPv6-ready sites that benefit from the largest, most widely spread address space, though, sticky IPv6 is exactly the right fit.
Should you stick or rotate your IPv6?
Both modes ship in every plan and switch from your dashboard with no code change. Here is when sticky IPv6 is the right choice.
| Property | Sticky IPv6 | Rotating IPv6 |
|---|---|---|
| IP behavior | Same IPv6 held for a session | New IPv6 every request |
| Session stability | High, one address per flow | Low, the IP changes constantly |
| Best for | Stateful, multi-step tasks | High-volume bulk crawling |
| IP spread | One address per session | Maximum, across the whole pool |
| Pricing | One plan | One plan |
| Typical use | Logins, carts, paginated flows | Scraping, indexing, training data |
Hold one IPv6 across a session
Point any HTTP client at the gateway with your sticky credentials and every request in the session exits from the same IPv6 address.
curl -x https://USER:PASS@gateway.proxyrotator.com:8080 https://api64.ipify.org # run it again, you exit from the same IPv6 for the session
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "https://USER:PASS@gateway.proxyrotator.com:8080",
"https": "https://USER:PASS@gateway.proxyrotator.com:8080",
}
s = requests.Session()
for _ in range(3):
r = s.get("https://api64.ipify.org", proxies=proxies, timeout=20)
print(r.text) # the same IPv6 address every time
Your real gateway host, port and credentials appear in your dashboard after signup. Prefer IP whitelisting? Add your server IP in the dashboard and drop the USER:PASS@ part.
