Should I use sticky IP for the proxy?
If you need to maintain a consistent IP address for your session (such as for logging in to websites that track your IP), sticky IP is recommended. This will ensure your connection stays with the same IP for the duration of your session, making it more suitable for activities like online shopping or browsing websites that require constant authentication.
Proxy Server Configuration: IP vs. Domain Name
When setting up a proxy in your browser, it's generally recommended to use the IP address instead of the domain name. This offers several advantages:
Faster Resolution: Using the IP address avoids the need for DNS resolution, allowing your browser to connect directly to the proxy server without waiting for a DNS lookup.
Reliability: DNS resolution can sometimes fail, especially if there are issues with the DNS server or slow network conditions. By using the IP address, you reduce the chances of connectivity problems.
Consistency: If the proxy server's domain changes or if there are DNS caching issues, using the IP address ensures that the connection remains stable and unaffected.
Thus, to ensure a smooth and stable experience, it's recommended to configure the proxy using the IP address rather than the domain name.
