Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of proxies does Flamingo offer?

Flamingo provides Residential proxies (real-device IPs for high anonymity) and ISP proxies (static, ultra-low latency, unlimited bandwidth). Residential is ideal for scraping, SERP/SEO and ad verification; ISP fits logins, checkouts, monitoring and automation.

Q: Do the proxies or data expire?

Residential data is non-expiring—use purchased GBs any time. ISP proxies are available daily, monthly or quarterly, with renewal options for static IPs.

Q: How does Flamingo ensure security and ethical sourcing?

Ethical sourcing with anti-abuse controls. Encrypted gateways, rotation best practices and real-time monitoring help maintain privacy and reliability.

Q: Which regions are available and can I target city/ASN?

Residential covers 180+ countries with city density in major markets; ASN/ISP targeting is available in many locales. ISP is offered in curated countries on virgin/unshared subnets.

Q: What’s the difference between rotating and sticky sessions?

Rotating assigns a new IP per request/interval for scale; sticky keeps the same IP for a duration—ideal for logged-in flows and carts.

Q: How do I authenticate and integrate quickly?

Use user/pass or IP allow-listing (where available). Quick start: curl -x http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT https://httpbin.org/ip or Python requests with proxies dict.

Q: How fast are the proxies?

ISP is optimized for low latency (often 0–60ms depending on path). Residential typically ~150–500ms depending on distance and target filtering.

Q: How does pricing work?

Residential is usage-based (non-expiring GBs). ISP is per-IP nets by duration (daily/monthly/quarterly). Volume tiers available.

Q: What support options are available?

24/7 human support via dashboard and a community Discord for tips and config help.

Which regions are available and can I target city/ASN?

Residential: 180+ countries with city-level density in major markets; ASN/ISP targeting in many locales. ISP: curated countries on virgin/unshared subnets.

What’s the difference between rotating and sticky sessions?

Rotating assigns a fresh IP per request/interval to reduce blocks at volume. Sticky keeps the same IP for a set duration—useful for logged-in flows, carts, and checkouts.

How do I authenticate and integrate quickly?

Auth: User/pass and (where available) IP allow-listing.

Quick start:

curl -x http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT https://httpbin.org/ip

import requests
proxies={"http":"http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT","https":"http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT"}
print(requests.get("https://httpbin.org/ip", proxies=proxies, timeout=20).json())

How fast are the proxies?

ISP: designed for low latency (often 0–60ms path-dependent) with unlimited bandwidth. Residential: optimized gateways; typical ~150–500ms depending on distance and target’s filtering.

How does pricing work?

Residential: usage-based (non-expiring GBs). ISP: per-IP nets by duration (daily/monthly/quarterly). Volume tiers available.
