Smartproxy Adds US States, Increases Rotation Time

Proxy provider Smartproxy has announced two new improvements before year’s end. They should improve the quality of life for two of the company’s largest client groups: sneakerheads and multiple account managers.

Both changes apply to residential proxies only. They are in effect already.

The first part of the announcement involves location targeting – Smartproxy now allows choosing from any of the 50 US states. This broadens the company’s range of locations, which used to cover 195 countries and 8 major cities throughout the world.

The second part of the announcement introduced extended sticky sessions. They now last notably longer – up to 30 minutes. The 10 minute option remains for those who need it.

Keep in mind the words up to: a residential proxy can disconnect at any time because it relies on real users. Another caveat is that the feature only works with username:password authentication for the moment.

Overall, the new improvements are welcome and should further strengthen Smartproxy’s position compared to its main competitors.
