Static Proxy

A static proxy holds you on one unchanging exit IP. Every request leaves from the same address, which is exactly what you want when a destination ties state or trust to your IP. It is the opposite of a rotating proxy. A fixed address can support a sticky session and a destination IP allowlist. The destination’s access policy is separate from proxy credentials; a stable address does not automatically remove authentication.

Because the address never changes, the destination sees one continuous visitor, which is essential for logins, shopping carts and account actions where a mid-flow IP change would break the session or raise a fraud flag. A static IP you keep well-behaved also accrues good reputation. The trade-off is that all your traffic concentrates on one address, so it is unsuitable for high-volume scraping that would trip per-IP rate limits — that work wants rotation instead.

A dedicated IP is exclusive during its assignment under the service terms. Prior history, assignment duration, availability and supported bindings still matter. An exit IP can have a prior history. Accounts, cookies and browser signals may still identify a user; changing an address does not guarantee a clean reputation. An outbound exit address does not by itself open inbound ports to your device. That requires separate supported routing and firewall configuration.
