Rotating residential IPs
Rotate on every request for broad crawls, or pin a sticky session when a login, cart, or localized workflow needs continuity.
SOCKS5 on the same residential pool
SOCKS5 is a protocol, not a separate IP product. Aethyn Premium and Elite speak HTTP and SOCKS5 with the same credentials. Point browsers, bots, and TCP clients at the SOCKS5 port. We sell residential exits only — not datacenter SOCKS lists.

How it works
This SKU in one view.
Session mode, pool, and billing — the bits that actually change what you buy.
Protocol
SOCKS5 is a port, not a second pool
HTTP / HTTPS
Premium 2099·Elite 5499
Browsers and HTTP clients. Same username flags for country and session.
SOCKS5
Premium 1099·Elite 3499
TCP for bots, apps, and clients that need SOCKS. Same household exits.
One pool. One GB meter. Rotation and sticky live in the username.
Billing
PAYG bandwidth never expires
Typical plan
Unused GB reset
- Calendar block, then leftover dies
- Burst months subsidise idle months
- Credits and render multipliers hide the rate
Aethyn PAYG
Wallet keeps the GB
- Pay for bytes, not a seat on a calendar
- Pause a crawl — the remainder stays
- +10% over the subscription ladder

Per-byte metering
Pay for bandwidth with subscription or pay-as-you-go options and dashboard visibility.
High-volume production

Why Aethyn
Residential proxies with clean sourcing and visible operations.
Built for practical automation
Premium Residential focuses on the workflows most teams run every day: product data, public web scraping, SERP monitoring, ad checks, and regional testing.
Transparent operations
Aethyn combines live bandwidth telemetry, consistent proxy credentials, and clear pricing so teams can scale jobs without hidden operational work.
Upgrade path when targets get harder
When a target requires city or ISP targeting, higher reputation exits, or stricter anti-bot resilience, teams can move selected jobs to Elite Residential.
FAQ
Questions about SOCKS5 Residential.
Do you sell a separate SOCKS5 IP pool?
No. SOCKS5 is the same Premium or Elite residential pool as HTTP, reached on a different port (Premium 1099, Elite 3499). Credentials and targeting suffixes are the same.
SOCKS5 or HTTP for scraping?
HTTP/HTTPS is the default for most scrapers. Choose SOCKS5 when the client requires it (some bots, some anti-detect browsers, some TCP-only tools). Success rate is about the exit IP and fingerprint, not the proxy protocol.
Can I use rotating and sticky over SOCKS5?
Yes. Rotation and sticky session flags live in the username, independent of protocol.
Do you sell datacenter SOCKS5?
No. Aethyn sells Premium and Elite residential only. Unused PAYG bandwidth never expires.
