Rotation interval and changing the exit IP ​

Custom Proxies support two ways to change IPs. Pick scheduled rotation or New IP (immediate) depending on how you avoid blocks.


1. Set a Rotation interval ​

If the port should replace its exit IP on a schedule (so one address does not hit the target too often), turn on rotation:

  1. Open My Proxies.
  2. Find the port and click Rotation.
  3. In the Rotation interval dialog:
    • Set the interval. Examples: 5 min (300 seconds), 10 min (600 seconds), 30 min (1800 seconds), 1 hour (3600 seconds), or a custom number of seconds (rules: 0 turns rotation Off; any other value must be at least 300 seconds and a multiple of 60).
  4. Save to apply.

After it is on, JoyProxy assigns a new exit IP when the timer fires (country and city stay the same). The host:port in your client does not change.


2. Replace the exit IP immediately (New IP) ​

If you are debugging or a target just blocked the current exit, do not wait for the timer — replace the IP now:

  1. Open My Proxies.
  2. Click New IP on the port.
  3. Confirm in the dialog.
  4. Within about 1–2 minutes, the port gets a new exit IP.

Note

  • Same connection string: New IP does not require changes to host:port or your Username/Password.
  • Cooldown: There is usually a 1–3 minute cooldown between two New IP actions on the same port.

Rotating Proxies vs Custom port rotation ​

  • Rotating Proxies: billed by GB. Each request hits a shared gateway and is routed to a pooled IP, or you keep a sticky session via username parameters.
  • Custom Proxies: billed by port and duration. The port is yours. You set the country and the Rotation interval in the console.
