Take Control via the API On-Demand Rotation
No longer suffer random rotations from residential networks. With Proxym, the IP stays sticky as long as you need it. Blocked? Send a simple POST to the API to force the 5G modem to grab a new IP.
Rotate IP

Randomness is Expensive
A script that breaks in the middle of downloading a large file due to automatic rotation is a waste of time and money.
Automatic Rotating Proxies (Backconnect)
- The IP changes on every request (Sticky sessions are impossible without complex workarounds).
- Downloading a 50MB file, the IP rotates at 80%, and the download fails.
- Social accounts flag sudden and too frequent IP changes.
- No way to keep a "clean" IP you just obtained.
API-Triggered Rotation (Proxym)
- The IP remains fixed (sticky) by default for hours or days.
- You trigger the rotation manually, only when necessary (e.g., on a 403 error).
- Perfect management of sessions (Login, Cookies) on social networks.
- Granular control if you own multiple ports/routers.
Frequently Asked Questions: API
How long does an IP rotation take?
Between 3 and 8 seconds depending on the carrier and cell tower load at the time of request. The modem goes into airplane mode then reconnects to the mobile network to obtain a new DHCP lease.
Can I automate rotation without using the API?
Yes. From your customer dashboard, you can define an automatic rule (e.g., 'Change IP every 15 minutes'). The system will call the router for you.
Are there official client libraries (SDKs)?
Our REST API is so simple (1 route to rotate, 1 route for status) that a standard HTTP request is sufficient. We provide examples in Python (Requests), Node.js (Axios), and Go.
