# Network Types & Technical Specs

> Choose between Residential, Mobile, and Mixed proxy pools. Learn speed, stealth, and detection trade-offs for each network type and when to use them.

anyIP allows you to target specific types of networks depending on your stealth and speed requirements.

## 📶 Network Options

We offer three targeting modes via the `type` parameter in your username.

| Type                 | Username Parameter | Description                                                    | Best For                        |
| :------------------- | :----------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------ |
| **Mixed** (Default)  | (None)             | Randomly assigns Residential or Mobile IPs. Best availability. | General scraping.               |
| **Residential Only** | `type_residential` | Strictly Residential Wi-Fi/Broadband IPs. Faster, more stable. | E-commerce, Data Mining.        |
| **Mobile Only**      | `type_mobile`      | Strictly 4G/5G Cellular IPs. Highest trust score, but slower.  | Account creation, Social Media. |

### How to use

Append the parameter to your username string:

```bash theme={null}
# Mixed (Default)
curl -x "http://user_XXXX:pass@portal.anyip.io:1080" http://ip-api.com/

# Strict Residential
curl -x "http://user_XXXX,type_residential:pass@portal.anyip.io:1080" http://ip-api.com/

# Strict Mobile
curl -x "http://user_XXXX,type_mobile:pass@portal.anyip.io:1080" http://ip-api.com/
```
