# IP Control

{% hint style="info" %}
Pay per IP users can download the proxy list via the [**dashboard**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/proxy-list)**.**

## Proxy Rotation

Datacenter Proxies support proxy rotation. To use this feature you need to  use port number `8000`. With each new request you will use a **random IP.** 

**Code examples**

For the **pay per IP** billing type, each request will use **a random IP from your Proxy list** via port `8000`.

For the **pay per traffic** billing type, each request will use a **random IP from the full pool** via port `8000.`
{% endhint %}

## Static Sessions

Depending on your billing type, you can utilize specific ports to maintain a consistent IP address for your requests.

#### Datacenter Proxies per IP

For the pay per IP billing type, use a specific static port to make requests. You will find port numbers in your [**proxy list**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/proxy-list)**.**

Here is an example using a port (`8001`) for a static session:

```bash
curl -x dc.oxylabs.io:8001 -U user-USERNAME:PASSWORD https://ip.oxylabs.io/location 
```

For a rotating or static session in a specific country, refer to [**Select country**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country) page.&#x20;

#### Datacenter Proxies per traffic

For the pay per traffic billing type, a static port within the range of `8001` to `63000` (generate a random number within this range) will be used to make requests. Each request will receive a random IP from the pool, **but the IP will remain consistent for the duration of the session.**

Here is an example using a random port (`35467`) for a static session:

```bash
curl -x dc.oxylabs.io:35467 -U user-USERNAME:PASSWORD https://ip.oxylabs.io/location 
```
