# How long can a sticky IP session last?

If you choose sticky IP in Session Type, you can keep the same IP for up to 180 minutes. For example, if you set it for 180 minutes, our system will try its best to keep the same IP address for 180 minutes. However, due to the nature of our residential proxies, which come from real users who may join and leave the network at will, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use the same IP address for the entire duration.
