When to use Datacenter
- Bulk scraping of less-protected sites
- API testing and development
- SEO / rank tracking where the tracker tolerates datacenters
- High-thread parsing (especially IPv6)
- Cost-sensitive workloads
When NOT to use
- Social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, X): generally blocked
- Cloudflare-protected high-value targets: frequently blocked
- Account creation / management on major platforms
- Anything detecting datacenter IPs
Plans
Plans are time-limited (1 day, 7 days, 30 days) with thread caps. Bandwidth within the plan is generally not metered (subject to fair use).Common questions
How many IPs are in the IPv4 pool?
How many IPs are in the IPv4 pool?
About 3,000 currently. Rotates as we acquire and retire ranges.
What ranges does Datacenter IPv4 use?
What ranges does Datacenter IPv4 use?
Multiple ranges, not just one /24. Ask support if you need exact ranges to allowlist.
Is the IPv6 pool really unlimited?
Is the IPv6 pool really unlimited?
Effectively yes. IPv6 space is vast and we allocate generously. You won’t run out.
Do you have Residential IPv6?
Do you have Residential IPv6?
Not currently—IPv6 is datacenter only.
Can I use IP whitelist instead of credentials?
Can I use IP whitelist instead of credentials?
No, Datacenter is credentials-only. Use Residential for IP-whitelist auth.
Why do IPv6 proxies stall on Netflix?
Why do IPv6 proxies stall on Netflix?
Known Netflix behavior: connection stalls then recovers. Implement retry with exponential backoff.
Does Datacenter rotate per request?
Does Datacenter rotate per request?
Yes on rotating port, sticky on sticky port. See Sessions.
