What Is IPRoyal?
IPRoyal is a self-service proxy provider offering residential, datacenter, ISP and mobile proxies without contracts, with non-expiring residential traffic.
Best for: Buyers who want pay-as-you-go proxies without a long-term contract.
IPRoyal's residential gateway supports both rotating and sticky sessions through configurable credentials. Sticky connections can retain an assigned address for a defined window, although individual residential peers may disconnect before that period expires. Collection scripts therefore need retry logic and should not assume a session identifier guarantees uninterrupted access to one household IP.
