Residential Lite
Lowest priceStarting at
- No UDP relay on Residential Lite
- SOCKS5 over TCP on every line
- Country targeting, 200+ countries
SOCKS5 lines on the Premium pool can open a UDP relay with one field, udp: true, for the tools that need it. Real-device exits, billed per gigabyte.
UDP residential proxies
RFC 1928, the SOCKS5 standard, defines a UDP ASSOCIATE command: the client asks the proxy to set up a relay, then sends datagrams to it, and the proxy forwards them from its exit address. On HProxy a Premium residential line generated with udp: true can open that relay. HTTP lines cannot, and Residential Lite lines do not offer it.
The exit is a real-device address, chosen by the same targeting as any other line: a country, and on Premium a state, a city or a network.

How to generate one
Ask for a SOCKS5 line and set udp to true. The line answers TCP as before, and a client that issues UDP ASSOCIATE gets a relay. Sticky works the same way: add stickyMinutes and the relay's exit holds for the session.
POST /api/v1/plans/{id}/generate
{"country": "US", "protocol": "socks5", "udp": true}
{"country": "US", "protocol": "socks5", "udp": true, "stickyMinutes": 60}What it is for
The relay is for clients that implement UDP ASSOCIATE themselves. A client that only knows HTTP proxies will not use it, and a client that sends UDP without SOCKS5 will not reach it. Check the tool's documentation for SOCKS5 UDP support before you buy traffic for it.
This is a proxy, not a VPN: only the traffic your client sends through the line leaves from the residential address.

FAQ
Answered from the plan documentation and the standards, not from a sales deck.
Ask supportResidential Premium, on SOCKS5 lines generated with udp: true. Residential Lite, HTTP lines and the per-IP products do not open a UDP relay.
It needs to speak SOCKS5 and issue UDP ASSOCIATE itself. Most HTTP-only clients and most browsers do not; many game, voice and custom-protocol clients do. The tool's own documentation says which.
No. Bytes through the relay draw from the same per-gigabyte balance as everything else on the plan.
Yes. Add stickyMinutes, from 3 to 1,440, and the relay's exit address holds for the session.

SOCKS5 proxy
A proxy speaking the SOCKS5 protocol, which forwards any kind of TCP or UDP traffic without inspecting it, not just web requests.
Residential proxy
A proxy that routes your traffic through an IP address assigned by an internet service provider to a home connection, so requests look like an ordinary person browsing.
Gateway proxy
A single entry point that routes your traffic into a whole pool of exit IPs, so you connect to one address and reach many.
Bandwidth
The volume of data a proxy can move, and the unit residential and mobile proxies are typically billed by.
