IP changing and proxies

Why IPs change, how proxy lists work, and how to verify rotation without burning bandwidth.

Why proxies matter

Ad and search surfaces rate-limit repeated requests from the same address. Residential or mobile proxies usually match real user geo better than cheap datacenter IPs.

If you use antidetect provider proxies, follow their format inside the app. If you bring your own list, keep one endpoint per line.

Supported list formats

Typical formats include ip:port and ip:port:user:pass. Use the in-app Browse control to pick your file; re-save configuration after replacing the file.

Avoid mixing schemes in one file unless your build documents support for it—consistency reduces silent failures.

Verify rotation

Enable IP logging only when you need to confirm rotation—each log line can trigger an extra lookup and consume proxy bandwidth.

Cross-check geo with your campaign targets so clicks do not cluster in the wrong region.
