Getting Started

Once you subscribe to a plan, you’ll receive credentials to use our proxies. Your credentials will look like this:

http://abcd1234:[email protected]:3006

You can use them with any HTTP client. Here’s an example using curl:

curl \
    -x "http://abcd1234:[email protected]:3006" \
    "https://api.ipify.org"

​
Proxy Configuration Options

AltV6 offers various settings to enhance your proxy usage.

​
1. Session Persistence

You can append a session ID to your username to maintain the same IP address across multiple requests. This helps avoid unnecessary IP changes.

Example:

http://abcd1234-session-abcdef:[email protected]:3006
  • The session ID must be alphanumeric only.
  • Length: 6 to 10 characters.

​
2. Session Lifetime (TTL)

You can specify how long the IP address should remain assigned by appending a TTL (Time-To-Live) to the session ID.

Example:

http://abcd1234-session-abcdef-lifetime-10:[email protected]:3006
  • The TTL must be a number between 1 and 120, representing the duration in minutes.

​
3. Location Selection

If you need an IP from a specific country, you can append a location code to your credentials.

Example:

http://abcd1234-country-us:[email protected]:3006
  • The country code must be valid.
  • Currently supported locations:
    • us → United States (More locations coming soon!)

Frequently Asked Questions

​
1. Should I use HTTP or HTTPS?

Our proxy supports both HTTP and HTTPS:

  • HTTP: dc.altv6.com:3006
  • HTTPS: dc.altv6.com:3007

We recommend using HTTP because it works with all HTTPS-secured websites while avoiding additional encryption overhead, making it faster.

​
2. Is SOCKS5 supported?

No, AltV6 proxies only support the HTTP(S) protocol. SOCKS5 is not available.

​
3. Are IPv4 addresses available?

No, AltV6 proxies only support IPv6 addresses. Websites without a AAAA record will not be accessible.

​
4. How much IPs do you have?

We assign each user to a dedicated subnet, our proxy pool is made of multiple subnets to avoid any IP block. Subnets are varying in size, from /80 to /64 in size. Depending on the location and server, you’ll have at the very least 280 billion unique IPv6 addresses available. In normal conditions, you’ll have over a trillion unique IPv6 addresses available.

You can consult the size of the subnet with this tool: /64 Subnet Size, 80 Subnet Size.
