Whitelisted IP Requests

Control your connection through custom backconnect parameters with Whitelisted IP authentication

To authenticate your proxy connection, you can use a Whitelisted IP instead of a username and password. To do this, you'll need to specify all of the proxy parameters directly in the endpoint.

Learn how to add a Whitelisted IP here.

🚧

IPv6 IP addresses are currently unsuppored for Whitelisted IP authentication. Please use IPs that are in IPv4 format (xx.xx.xx.xx).

Supported parameters

ParameterDescriptionExample
countryCountry code. Please provide it in a two-symbol ISO format. You can check most of the ISO country codes here.us
cityCity name. Adding this parameter will let you specify the city of the IP you want to use. Please use this parameter together with the country parameter.berlin
stateUS state. Supports the USA location when you pick us as the country parameter. It will allow you to specify the US state of the IP you want to use. Formatus_california
sessionA random string to create a session to keep the same IP for more than one request. The session automatically expires within 10 minutes by default. After that, a new IP will be assigned to this session’s ID. Learn more here.randomstring123
sessiondurationUsed with session. Specifies the sticky session time in minutes – can be set to any number between 1 and 1440. A session lasts for 10 minutes by default if this parameter is not indicated. Learn more here.180
zip5-digit ZIP code. Adding this parameter will let you specify the ZIP code location you want to target. It is only applicable for targeting the USA location and should be used with the country-us parameter string.10001
asnTarget the ASN number of a specific carrier.20057
continentContinent code. You can find the continent codes here.as

Maintaining sessions with ports

Alternatively, you can use ports instead of the session parameter. E.g.:

country-us-sessionduration-60.gate.smartproxy.com:10001;

country-us-sessionduration-60.gate.smartproxy.com:10002;

country-us-sessionduration-60.gate.smartproxy.com:10003.

The available port range is 10001-49999.

ASN filtering

  • You must choose between city targeting and asn targeting, as they can’t be used simultaneously.
  • The same logic would apply for the continent, state and country parameters.
  • You can look up carrier numbers by searching online, for example here.

Examples

Here's an example for Berlin, using a 90-minute long sessionduration parameter and session ID to allow the IP address to persist for multiple requests:

curl -x "https://country-de-city-berlin-session-example1-sessionduration-90.gate.smartproxy.com:7000" "https://ip.smartproxy.com/json"
