Minimum Connection Time Filter
Evomi Residential Proxies offer a connection stability filter that ensures you only receive IPs that have maintained persistent connections to our network. This feature is particularly valuable when using sticky sessions or conducting long-running transactions.
How It Works
The _activesince-<minutes>
parameter filters IPs based on their continuous connection duration to our system:
- Measures time since IP first became available in our pool
- Only selects IPs active for at least the specified minutes
- Higher minimum times = increased connection stability
- Particularly effective when combined with session parameters
Usage
Add _activesince-<minutes>
to your proxy password:

Implementation Examples
⚠️
Important Considerations
- This is an extra feature with increased bandwidth costs
- Higher minimum times reduce available IP pool size
- Due to a number of factors its possible for ips to reconnect in batches, slashing the number of available IPs for a certain minimum time to 0, make sure to handle errors on your side if no IP is available.
- Recommended maximum: 240 minutes (4 hours)
- Combines best with

Stability vs Availability Tradeoff
While longer-active IPs provide better stability, setting extremely high values (>300 minutes) may significantly limit available IPs. We recommend starting with 60-120 minute thresholds.
