Datacenter proxies use IP addresses assigned from datacenter servers to route your traffic and access locations around the world. With a shorter journey and simplified architecture, datacenter proxies are both the fastest and most cost-effective proxy option.

​
IP Rotation Behavior

Datacenter proxies provide a static exit IP — the same IP address is used for all connections throughout the lifetime of the proxy. Every tab, request, and reconnection within a browser session exits through the same IP.

​
Configuration

Datacenter proxies require a country to route traffic through: 
import Kernel from '@onkernel/sdk';

const kernel = new Kernel();

const proxy = await kernel.proxies.create({
  type: 'datacenter',
  name: 'my-us-datacenter',
  config: {
    country: 'US',
  },
});

const browser = await kernel.browsers.create({
  proxy_id: proxy.id,
});

​
Configuration Parameters

  • country (optional) - ISO 3166 country code (e.g., US, GB, FR) or EU for European Union exit nodes
  • bypass_hosts (optional) - Array of hostnames that bypass the proxy and connect directly (max 100 entries)

​
Bypass hosts

Configure specific hostnames to bypass the proxy: 
import Kernel from '@onkernel/sdk';

const kernel = new Kernel();

const proxy = await kernel.proxies.create({
  type: 'datacenter',
  name: 'datacenter-with-bypass',
  config: {
    country: 'US',
  },
  bypass_hosts: [
    'localhost',
    'internal.service.local',
    '*.amazonaws.com',
  ],
});
Bypass hosts support exact hostnames and wildcard subdomains (*.example.com). See the overview for full details.
