Disable peer rotation

Configure the Bright Data Proxy to disable peer rotation on port 44445 and pin sessions to proxy, with reference for parameters and response fields.

This article refers to use cases requiring you to both:

1. Use the same proxy IP along a subsequent flow of requests
2. Do not allow failover to a different IP in case the first assigned becomes unavailable

This setup can be useful for Residential proxies, which consist of real PCs and mobile devices that may go offline, and you do not wish to switch to another IP in the middle of the workflow to avoid block or detection.

To avoid assigning a new peer to the session in case the peer used in the session went offline, use the const parameter, relayed over the proxy username, in conjunction with the session parameter.

Note: for this feature to work both parameters are necessary.

Example, using session: mystring12345 and const together to fix the IP and not allow failover, add -session-mystring12345-const to the proxy username:

Shell

curl "http://target.site" --proxy brd.superproxy.io:44445 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>-session-mystring12345-const:<zone_password>

When using these combined options parameters, if Bright Data cannot assign the previously used proxy IP, you will get a 502 HTTP error code in response, with error message:

Error Message
