Dedicated IPs (Beta)

DIP is currently in beta and is available only after approval from NetNut Support.

To request access, contact: [email protected]

Overview

DIP is a proxy feature designed to reduce IP collisions when multiple users access the same destination domain through the same proxy IP.

With DIP, customers purchase a pool of daily unique IPs dedicated to a specific target domain. Based on the purchased daily volume, NetNut allocates a concurrent IP pool that supports sticky sessions with reduced overlap for that domain.

DIP is currently available for US residential traffic only.

Sticky Session Behavior

Each number in the customer’s assigned DIP range maps to a sticky peer position.

For example, if the customer uses:

dip-57

NetNut routes the request through the sticky peer position associated with number 57.

If the underlying residential peer disconnects, NetNut automatically replaces it with another available peer while keeping the same DIP range position active.

This means the DIP session number remains valid, but the actual underlying peer IP may change if the original peer becomes unavailable

Proxy Integration

When using DIP, the proxy string must include the dip trigger.

This feature supports http, https and socks5

Format

{proxy_username}-res-us-dip-{number_within_range}

Components

Component	Description
{proxy_username}	The customer’s proxy username
res	Residential proxy product identifier
us	Country code. DIP currently supports US only
dip	Required trigger that activates DIP routing
{number_within_range}	A number from the customer’s assigned DIP range

Gateway Requirement

DIP requires the dedicated DIP gateway:

gw-dip.netnut.net

The required port is:

5959

Using the standard gateway will not activate DIP behavior.

cURL Integration Example

Generic Format

curl -x {proxy_username}-res-us-dip-{number_within_range}:{password}@gw-dip.netnut.net:5959 https://www.walmart.com -v

Example With Placeholder Values

curl -x customer123-res-us-dip-57:[email protected]:5959 https://www.walmart.com -v

Behavior When Using a Number Outside the Assigned Range

If a customer sends a DIP number outside their assigned range, We redirect the request to a valid peer within the customer’s assigned range.

Example

Assigned DIP range:

1-1000

Requested DIP value:

1500

Expected behavior:

The request is redirected to a valid peer within the assigned DIP range.

For best performance and predictability, customers should use numbers within their assigned DIP range.
