ISP Proxies Quick Start Guide
An ISP (static residential) proxy routes your requests through an internet service provider, which means that you get residential-level trust with datacenter-level stability and the same IP for as long as you need it. This guide covers plans, authentication, parameters, and endpoints.

What is an ISP proxy?
An ISP proxy is a static residential IP address, issued by an internet service provider, but hosted on datacenter infrastructure. Target websites treat it as a genuine residential connection, while the datacenter hosting keeps it fast, stable, and permanently online. That combination is why ISP proxies are also called static residential proxies.
How do ISP proxies work?
Your request travels to Decodo's gateway, which forwards it through the ISP IP assigned to you. The target website sees a residential IP that never changes – ideal when a task requires a consistent identity. Choose static sessions to keep the same IP indefinitely, or rotating sessions to change the IP on every request.

Experience a simple setup process by following our video guide.
How do I set up ISP proxies?
It’ll only take you 8 steps and about 5 minutes to set up ISP proxies. Each step matches a tab in the Decodo dashboard.
How do I choose a subscription?
After creating your account, pick the pricing plan that fits the job. Pay per GB gives you unlimited access to the entire IP pool – you’ll pay for the traffic you use. Pay per IP gives unlimited traffic on a set number of IPs, with a choice between a shared pool and dedicated IPs that belong only to you.
How do I authenticate with a username and password?
Open the Authentication tab. Your first proxy user is created automatically. To remove it, click the 3 dots next to the username and select Edit user, then Remove user, and Confirm. To create a new user, click Create user, enter a custom username, and the password will be generated automatically.
How do I authenticate by whitelisting an IP?
In the Authentication tab, open Whitelisted IPs. Click + Add IP and enter it manually, or press + Add to whitelist your current IP. Only IPv4 addresses are supported, and the IP must be yours – turn off any proxy or VPN before adding it. Use the three-dot menu to name an entry or the trash icon to remove it.
How do I set a traffic limit?
Click the 3 dots next to a user, select Edit user, then Add traffic limit, enter the number of GBs the user can't exceed, and save it. Useful for keeping team members or automated jobs within budget.
How do I select parameters?
Open the Proxy setup tab and pick a user – this is where static residential proxy setup happens. Under location, choose Random to draw from the whole pool or select a specific country, state, city, or ASN. Under session type, choose static sessions to keep the same IP or rotating sessions to change the IP with each request. ISP proxies support HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 protocols, and endpoint:port configuration.
How do I generate and export endpoints?
Set the number of endpoints to generate – the default is 10. Copy a single endpoint or the whole list to your clipboard, or download it in CSV or TXT format for your tools.
How do I track my usage?
The Usage statistics tab shows traffic per user over a week, a month, or a custom period, plus cumulative uploads, downloads, and requests. Check it after the first test run to confirm everything routes as expected.
How do I use the proxies in my tools?
Apply the endpoint and, if required, the credentials to any application. Decodo's static residential (ISP) proxies integrate with a range of third-party tools – browsers, antidetect setups, and scraping frameworks alike.

Unbeatable uptime and advanced targeting – match made in heaven for every task.
Price aggregation
Gather real-time pricing from major eCommerce websites with an IP that never changes mid-session – dynamic pricing analysis without re-authentication.
Web scraping
Collect public web data from advanced targets without IP bans or CAPTCHAs, on infrastructure that holds 1 identity as long as the job needs.
Multi-account management
Run accounts that expect a stable and fast IP – each profile keeps its own dedicated ISP IP indefinitely.
What does it cost to get started?
ISP proxy plans are billed by traffic (Pay per GB, whole-pool access) or by IP (Pay per IP, unlimited traffic, shared or dedicated). Every plan includes static and rotating sessions, country, state, city, ASN targeting, and endpoint export at no extra charge, with a 14-day money-back option.
With each plan, you access:
Premium ASNs
Static IPs with ISP origin
100% dedicated IPs
High bandwidth & concurrency support
No CAPTCHAs or IP bans

Residential vs. Datacenter Proxies: Which Should You Choose?
Residential and datacenter proxies both act as intermediaries that hide your real IP address, allowing you to access restricted websites and geo-blocked content. However, they differ in IP origin, stability, speed, and how websites perceive them. This residential vs. datacenter proxies guide breaks down their key differences.

What Is a Proxy Server? How It Works, Types, and How to Choose One for Scraping
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet, masking your IP address and routing your requests through alternative IPs. Businesses use proxies to bypass geo-restrictions, avoid blocks and CAPTCHAs, scrape web data at scale, and maintain online anonymity. With the proxy market projected to reach USD 3.12 billion by 2032, understanding which proxy type fits your needs can make the difference between seamless data collection and constant roadblocks.

Price Scraping: How To Build a Scraper, Test It, and Scale With Confidence
Price data is important for monitoring competitors in eCommerce, enforcing MAP policies, and receiving deal alerts. Doing this manually isn't effective for scaling. A practical approach is price scraping, which helps automatically collect product pricing data from eCommerce websites. This guide will show you how to build a Python scraper using Playwright. It will help you gather real prices, deal with anti-bot measures, and create structured JSON data.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between ISP and residential proxies?
ISP proxies are static residential IPs hosted in data centers – you keep 1 IP indefinitely at datacenter speed. Residential proxies come from real user devices and rotate by default, which suits the toughest targets. Check out a more detailed comparison of ISP vs. residential proxies.
How do I authenticate ISP proxies?
There are 2 methods: username and password (created in the Authentication tab) or IP whitelisting (add your IPv4 address and skip credentials entirely). Both work with every plan.
Can I keep the same IP forever?
Yes – that's the point of static sessions on ISP proxies. The IP stays yours for as long as the subscription runs; with dedicated Pay per IP plans, nobody else ever uses it.
Should I use static or rotating sessions?
Use static sessions when a task needs 1 consistent identity – logged-in accounts, monitoring, long checkouts. Use rotating sessions when you're collecting data at volume, and each request is independent.
