Static Proxy Pay Per GB: Why the IP Changes and What to Use

Why a static IP billed by traffic keeps changing, how to check which product you hold, and what keeps the same IP.

The three most common reasons the IP changes

1. You are on the per-GB Fixed ISP exit. On the static ISP page, Billing set to Per GB gives you a Fixed ISP exit: free to generate, US$3.50 per GB from the wallet, country only (13 countries), no region or city. It is not reserved for one customer long term, so Proxy302 does not promise that you keep the same IP.

2. You hold a rotating product. Rotating residential and rotating datacenter proxies give a new IP on each new connection unless you open a session; a reused (keep-alive) connection keeps its IP. If the address differs every time you reconnect, you are probably using one of these, not a static IP.

3. A per-IP lease was renewed or replaced. Auto-renew is optional: a new per-IP purchase has it on by default, and you can turn it off in My assets > Details. When a residential IP renews, it keeps its address whenever it is still available for the new term; otherwise it may be moved to another IP of the same type in the same country, and you get an email. If an IP stops working, Support reissues it after a ticket with the order number.

Step 1: check which product you have

  1. Step 1: find the billing mode

    Look at what you chose when you bought it: a lease for a number of days, or Per GB (PTC/GB). A lease has an end date in My assets; a per-GB exit does not have one.

  2. Step 2: record the exit IP

    Through the proxy, open https://ipinfo.io/json and note the ip and org fields, with the time. Do this again after a reconnect and again an hour later.

  3. Step 3: note what you did before it changed

    Did you reconnect, restart the browser or tool, renew, or just wait? A change on every reconnect points to a rotating product; a change at the end date points to renewal.

  4. Step 4: open a ticket if a lease IP changed inside its term

    Send the order number, the IP before and after, and the times. A failed IP is fixed by reissuing it.

By symptom

The IP is different every time I reconnect

Check Is it a rotating residential or rotating datacenter proxy, or a per-GB exit? These do not promise the same IP.

Fix If you need a fixed IP, move to a per-IP static ISP lease.

Stop when If it is a per-IP lease and the IP changes inside its term, stop and open a ticket.

The IP changed after the lease renewed

Check Auto-renew is optional: was it on by default or did you turn it off, and did you get an email about a move? A renewal keeps the address only while the IP is still available for the new term.

Fix Renew earlier by hand if you want to choose the moment; auto-renew can be turned off in My assets > Details.

Stop when Do not rely on a renewal always keeping the same IP; if the account needs one fixed address, plan for a change.

The proxy stopped connecting, not changed

Check Check address, port, protocol and login first; then the IP itself.

Fix Follow the connection-failed checklist; if the IP itself is dead, open a ticket with the order number.

Stop when Stop after the checklist: more retries will not revive a failed IP.

If you need the same IP: lease per IP

A per-IP static ISP lease is fixed for the lease term and costs US$0.50 for 1 day, US$1.50 for 3, US$3.50 for 7, US$7.99 for 30, US$15.98 for 60 or US$23.97 for 90, the same in every country. Compared with the per-GB exit, a 30-day lease costs less once you move more than about 2.3 GB (US$7.99 ÷ US$3.50 ≈ 2.28 GB).

For several accounts, the usual advice is one fixed, clean IP per account in the same region as the account, with the rest of the environment kept consistent. A different IP does not lift a restriction on an account; what happens to it is up to the platform.

How to get a fixed IP with Proxy302

  1. Step 1

    Open the static ISP page, keep Billing on the per-IP option (not Per GB), choose the country, the lease term, the quantity (1 to 100) and HTTP or SOCKS5.

  2. Step 2

    After purchase, open My assets and copy HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD. HTTP uses port 2222 and SOCKS5 uses port 3333 on proxy.proxy302.com.

  3. Step 3

    Open https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy and save the ip. Check it again after reconnecting to confirm it stays the same.

  4. Step 4

    Decide on auto-renew: it is on by default for a new purchase, and you can untick it before paying or turn it off later in My assets > Details.

FAQ

Why does my static residential IP billed by traffic change?

Because the Fixed ISP exit billed per GB is not reserved for one customer long term and you choose only the country. The same IP is not promised. A per-IP lease is the product that stays fixed for its term.

Can I choose a city on the per-GB static exit?

No. It is a country-level choice, from 13 countries.

Is there a free trial to test whether the IP stays?

No. The smallest purchase is one IP for one day (US$0.50) or 1 GB of rotating residential traffic.

Will a renewed IP keep the same address?

A residential IP keeps its address whenever it is still available for the new term; otherwise it may be moved to another IP of the same type in the same country, and you are told by email. Datacenter IPs keep their address.
