Parameter Input Guide - Rotating Residential Proxies
Last updated: 2026-09-10 11:12:34
i) Definition of Parameter Input
Parameter Input means appending one or more parameters after a fixed part of the connection string so the proxy behaves the way you need. To obtain customized IPs, follow the basic rules below.
ii) Definition of Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| acc | Authentication account (username starts with acc-). Required. |
| cnt | Continent code (e.g. EU, NA, AS). Default: global mix. Required. |
| cty | Country code (e.g. US, PT); only valid after cnt is set. Default: random. |
| reg | Region name (e.g. state/province/city); only valid after cty is set. Default: random. |
| sid | Sticky session ID: keeps the egress IP stable. Up to 16 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). |
| ttl | Sticky duration in minutes (integer 3–60). Only applies when sid is present. |
iii) How to Input Parameters
Append -{key}-{value} segments after the username (before the password), in the form:
acc-username-----:password@host:port
Default configuration example
Without extra parameters, configuration looks like:
acc-username:[email protected]:60001
Example: sticky IP in Aveiro, Portugal (EU), 3 minutes
acc-username-cnt-EU-cty-PT-reg-Aveiro-sid-1nstr6eabi239c5-ttl-3:[email protected]:60001
cURL examples
Continent only (cnt-EU):
curl -U "acc-username-cnt-EU:password" -x "dy01.utaproxy.com:60001" "https://ipvibe.com/ip" -L
Continent + country (cnt-EU, cty-PT):
curl -U "acc-username-cnt-EU-cty-PT:password" -x "dy01.utaproxy.com:60001" "https://ipvibe.com/ip" -L
Continent + country + region (e.g. Aveiro):
curl -U "acc-username-cnt-EU-cty-PT-reg-Aveiro:password" -x "dy01.utaproxy.com:60001" "https://ipvibe.com/ip" -L
Sticky session + ttl (keep one IP for a fixed duration, e.g. 3 minutes):
curl -U "acc-username-sid-1nstr6eabi239c5-ttl-3:password" -x "dy01.utaproxy.com:60001" "https://ipvibe.com/ip" -L
All parameters shown together (continent, country, region, sticky session, ttl):
curl -U "acc-username-cnt-EU-cty-PT-reg-Aveiro-sid-1nstr6eabi239c5-ttl-3:password" -x "dy01.utaproxy.com:60001" "https://ipvibe.com/ip" -L
Replace acc-username, password, host, and port with your real credentials and endpoint. Geo targeting follows the hierarchy cnt → cty → reg in section ii).
