# Session Type

Understand Talordata rotating residential proxy session types and choose between rotating and sticky sessions for your workflow.

Talordata offers two proxy IP rotation session modes: Random IP and Sticky IP. Select based on your business needs.

* <kbd>**Random IP**</kbd>

Each time a new request is initiated to load the same or different pages, a distinct **new IP address** is assigned.

When generating proxy endpoint information, the default is Random IP Session Mode.

* <kbd>**Sticky IP**</kbd>

Sticky IP sessions maintain proxy IP rotation intervals ranging from 1- 120 minutes, with manually customizable duration.&#x20;

* The proxy IP address remains unchanged throughout the specified duration, regardless of request volume.&#x20;
* You may change the session ID to manually trigger IP rotation early.

&#x20;If Sticky IP is selected without setting an IP connection interval, the default duration is 1 minute.
