# netdash

> netdash is proxy infrastructure for developers, AI agents and data teams. Residential and mobile proxies, sold per GB, share one credential pair, one username syntax, country targeting and rotating or sticky sessions over standard HTTP. Static ISP and datacenter IPs are available through the sales team. Purchased GB never expire.

## Connection facts (verified)

- Gateways: solve-{us|eu}.netdash.io:1000, scale-{us|eu}.netdash.io:2000, opus-{us|eu}.netdash.io:3000, mobile-{us|eu}.netdash.io:4000. `-us` is the Americas gateway, `-eu` the Europe gateway.
- Username: `{USERNAME}-cc-{CC}[-session-{SESSION_ID}-ttl-{MINUTES}]`. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, uppercase. Use GB for the United Kingdom, not UK.
- Rotating: omit the session part. Sticky: add `-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}` (dashboard presets: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 12 hours, 7 days (10,080 minutes)).
- Auth: One username and password per account for every residential and mobile plan; each plan keeps its own GB balance. ISP and datacenter orders come with their own credentials in the delivered list. The password is the proxy password shown in the dashboard, not the sign-in password.
- Protocol: HTTP proxy. HTTPS websites are reached through the proxy with HTTP CONNECT tunnelling.
- Targeting: Country-level targeting with -cc-{CC}.
- Capacity: No per-account concurrency or thread limit.
- Billing: One-time GB purchases in USD with graduated pricing per order: each GB is charged at the rate of the band it falls into. 1 to 50,000 GB per order. Purchased residential and mobile GB do not expire.
- ISP and datacenter: Billed per IP, renews every 30 days. Cancel in the billing portal before renewal. Self-serve checkout for ISP and datacenter proxies is paused.
- Not offered: CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering or automatic retries (netdash forwards your traffic unchanged); City, state, ZIP, ASN or carrier targeting (targeting is country-level); IP allowlisting (authentication is username and password); A public account API or SDK (none is needed: it is a standard HTTP proxy); Published uptime figures or an SLA.
- Credentials and the proxy generator live in the dashboard at https://app.netdash.io (Residential and Mobile pages).

Example (rotating, US exit, Scale plan):

```bash
curl --max-time 30 -x "http://USERNAME-cc-US:PASSWORD@scale-us.netdash.io:2000" \
  "https://api.ipify.org?format=json"
```
