We’ve introduced a set of advanced proxy parameters at SOAX to help you get more control over your sessions:
Web browser mode (
-opt-wb) — improves browsing stability and reduces interruptionsLook-a-like mode (
-opt-lookalike) — ensures smoother, more natural IP changes that are harder to detect
Note:
These options are designed to improve session consistency and help your traffic appear more like real user behavior, especially when working with logged-in platforms or multi-tab browsing.
Web browser mode (-opt-wb)
This feature introduces advanced error-handling logic optimized for web browsing.
What it does:
Retries failed connections on the same node before switching
Keeps multiple browser tabs or parallel sessions on the same IP
Minimizes unnecessary node switching to avoid logouts or captchas
Best for:
Social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Gmail
Any workflow involving multiple tabs or account logins
Preventing session drops or instability
Example:
curl -k -x package-{your package id}-country-us-sessionid-qC0IRm4S6MBGeOqn-sessionlength-300-opt-wb:{your package login}@proxy.soax.com:5000 -L https://checker.soax.com/api/ipinfoLook-a-like mode (-opt-lookalike)
This feature improves how your session looks when a node switch is required. Instead of assigning any available IP, it selects one that closely resembles the previous, making your activity appear more natural to websites.
What it does:
Mimics real-world changes (e.g., switching from Wi-Fi to mobile)
Helps maintain trust on platforms with sensitive session tracking
Reduces detection when using proxies with logged-in accounts
Best for:
Logged-in sessions on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Gmail
Long-duration sessions that require a natural connection pattern
Example:
curl -k -x package-{your package id}-country-us-sessionid-qC0IRm4S6MBGeOqn-sessionlength-300-opt-lookalike:{your package login}@proxy.soax.com:5000 -L https://checker.soax.com/api/ipinfoUsage tip:
Use in large countries or cities to increase the chance of similar IPs.
Feature comparison
Feature | Best for | Key benefit |
| Browsing, multi-tab sessions | Stable sessions, fewer disconnects |
| Logged-in, session-sensitive platforms | Mimics human-like behavior during IP changes |
Note:
These options cannot be selected simultaneously for a single proxy string — only one can be active at a time. If two are selected, only the last one will be applied.
