# Keep or change your IP

> Choose what suits the way you browse.

In [Residential proxies](https://proxylane.dev/dashboard/proxies), look for **IP rotation**.

| What you want                         | Choose                   |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| A changing IP for separate requests   | **Rotate every request** |
| The same IP for several related steps | **Keep the same IP**     |
| An IP that changes on a schedule      | **Rotate on a timer**    |

A **sticky session** means asking to keep the same IP. It can still change if that connection becomes unavailable.

## Set up a sticky session

1. Choose **Keep the same IP**.
2. Open **Advanced settings**. Give the **Session name** a name such as `mybrowser`.
3. Click **Generate connection** and copy the new details to your app.

Use letters and numbers only, up to 64 characters. Give a separate task a different session name.

    Choose **Rotate on a timer**, then **Rotation interval**. Presets run from 5 to 60 minutes. **Custom seconds** accepts 1–3,600 seconds.

    Generate the connection again after changing the interval.

  <Accordion title="Download more than one connection" icon="download">
    Open **Export multiple connections**, then **Download list**.

    You can export up to 1,000 rows when starting at port 10000. The final port must be 10999 or lower. Each row is a connection, not a reserved or guaranteed unique IP.

    Keep the downloaded file private.
