The Quantum Proxies API lets you generate proxies, read live usage, and manage your plans straight from your code — or from any AI assistant over MCP. One key connects your account to everything. JSON over HTTPS. Six read-only endpoints plus proxy generation. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and drive your account in plain English. ## Base URL All requests go to: ``` https://production.quantumproxies.net ``` ## Authentication Every request is authenticated with your API key in the `Authorization` header. The key scopes every response to your own account — there is never an account id in the URL. ```bash theme={null} Authorization: Bearer qp_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ``` **Keys are issued by our team.** Contact support to request one — we'll hand it to you directly. The full key is shown only once at creation, so store it somewhere safe. You can see your active keys (masked) any time under **Developers** in the dashboard. ## Rate limits Requests are throttled to **120 per minute, per key**. Every response includes `RateLimit-Limit`, `RateLimit-Remaining`, and `RateLimit-Reset` headers so you can pace your calls. Exceeding the limit returns `429`. ## Response format Every response is a JSON envelope. Success carries your payload in `data`; errors carry a human-readable `message`. ```json Success theme={null} { "statusCode": 200, "data": { }, "message": "Residential plans retrieved", "success": true, "error": null } ``` ```json Error theme={null} { "statusCode": 401, "success": false, "message": "Invalid or revoked API key", "meta": {} } ``` ## Status codes | Code | Meaning | | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `200` | OK — request succeeded. | | `400` | Bad request — a parameter is missing or invalid (e.g. an unsupported session time, or quantity above 10,000). | | `401` | Missing, invalid, expired, or revoked API key. | | `403` | The account tied to this key isn't allowed to use the API. | | `404` | Not found — you don't have a plan for the given product. | | `429` | Rate limit exceeded — slow down and retry after `RateLimit-Reset`. | | `500` | Something went wrong on our side. Safe to retry. | # AI assistants (MCP) Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/api-reference/mcp Use your proxies from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor with the hosted MCP server. Quantum runs a hosted **MCP server** at `/mcp`, authenticated by the same API key. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and drive your account in plain English — "generate 20 sticky US proxies", or "how much data is left on Quantum Premium?" ## Connect ```bash Claude Code theme={null} claude mcp add --transport http quantum \ https://production.quantumproxies.net/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer qp_live_..." ``` **Other clients** — add a remote server with URL `https://production.quantumproxies.net/mcp`, transport **Streamable HTTP**, and header `Authorization: Bearer `. ## Available tools | Tool | What it does | | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `list_residential_plans` | List your residential plans and their product IDs. | | `generate_residential_proxies` | Generate proxies — product, pool, quantity, sticky, type, time, state, city. | | `get_residential_usage` | Live data usage for a plan. | | `get_residential_statistics` | Per-day usage for the last 30 days. | | `list_static_plans` | List your ISP / datacenter plans with proxy lists. | | `get_subscriptions` | Subscription status for your static plans. | # Residential Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/api-reference/residential List plans, generate proxies, and read usage for your residential products. All residential endpoints are scoped to your account by the API key — pass your key in the `Authorization` header on every request. ## List residential plans ``` GET /v1/residential ``` Lists the residential plans on your account. Start here — it returns each plan's `product_id`, which the other residential endpoints require. ```bash cURL theme={null} curl https://production.quantumproxies.net/v1/residential \ -H "Authorization: Bearer qp_live_..." ``` One entry per residential plan, each with `product_id`, `product_name`, `data_gb` (total allocation), and the proxy `username`. ```json Response theme={null} { "data": { "plans": [ { "product_id": "residential_product_35bcc67b", "product_name": "Quantum Premium", "data_gb": 50, "username": "mpuWcFwwk5_Quantum.a1b2" } ] } } ``` ## Generate proxies ``` GET /v1/residential/{product_id}/proxies ``` Generates residential proxy connection strings for one plan. Sticky sessions hold the same IP for the session's lifetime; rotating gives a fresh IP per request. `true` for a sticky session (same IP), `false` for rotating. A country name (e.g. `United States`), or `Worldwide` / `Europe`. How many proxy lines to generate. Between 1 and 10,000. `http` or `socks5`. Sticky session lifetime in minutes. Allowed values depend on the product (see below). Optional state / subdivision targeting (single-country pools only). Optional city targeting (single-country pools only). **Session lifetimes are per product.** Values outside the plan's list return `400`. | Product | Allowed `time` (minutes) | | ------------------- | -------------------------------- | | Quantum Premium | `30`, `60`, `120`, `240` | | Private Residential | `30`, `60`, `120`, `720` | | Quantum Mobile | `30`, `60`, `120` | | Schro Residential | `30`, `60`, `120`, `720`, `1440` | ```bash cURL theme={null} curl "https://production.quantumproxies.net/v1/residential/residential_product_35bcc67b/proxies?sticky=true&pool=United%20States&quantity=3&time=60" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer qp_live_..." ``` ```json Response theme={null} { "data": { "proxies": [ "premium.quantumproxies.net:65534:USER-country-US-session-482910-sessionttl-60:PASS", "premium.quantumproxies.net:65534:USER-country-US-session-771305-sessionttl-60:PASS" ], "count": 3 } } ``` ## Get usage ``` GET /v1/residential/{product_id}/usage ``` Returns live data usage for one plan — total allocation and how much you've consumed, in GB, plus the plan's proxy credentials. ```bash cURL theme={null} curl https://production.quantumproxies.net/v1/residential/residential_product_35bcc67b/usage \ -H "Authorization: Bearer qp_live_..." ``` Total data allocation, in GB.

Choose the product type: **Residential**, **Datacenter**, or **ISP**

Click **Buy** (or **Top Up**) and complete payment using the available payment methods. \ We support Stripe for card payments and Cryptomus for cryptocurrency payments. Go to **Dashboard → Generation → ISP & Datacenter / Residential** Unlike Residential or Mobile proxies, you don’t need to manually generate ISP or Datacenter proxies. As soon as your payment is confirmed, your ISP/Datacenter proxies will automatically appear in the ISP/Datacenter section of your Dashboard. You can access them immediately, no extra steps required. From the Dashboard, you can: * **Download all proxies** as a `.txt` file for bulk usage. * **Copy proxies directly to your clipboard** for quick setup in your tools or scripts. ISP/Datacenter proxies are dedicated and static, so once purchased they are instantly provisioned to your account. No configuration or generation logic is needed, you simply buy and start using them. Residential proxies are IPs from real devices connected through ISPs, making them perfect for web scraping, automation, ad verification, and other use cases that require high trust and low detection rates. Unlike ISP or Datacenter proxies (which are provisioned automatically after purchase), Residential proxies must be generated inside the Dashboard after you’ve purchased a plan. Once you have an active Residential plan, you’ll see it listed under **Dashboard → Generation → Residential**. 1. Select your plan * All your Residential plans are shown in cards. * Each card displays **remaining bandwidth** and **used bandwidth**. * Click the plan you want to use for generation. 2. Configure proxy generation Below the plan list you’ll find the **Generate Residential Proxies** section. Here you can set: * **Country** → Choose the country you want your proxies to come from. * **Format** → Select the output format (e.g., `ip:port:user:pass`). * **Type** → Choose **Rotating** or **Sticky** proxies. * *Rotating*: IP changes automatically on each request. * *Sticky*: IP stays the same for a set duration (e.g. 5m, 30m, 1h). * **Quantity** → How many proxies you want to generate in one batch. 3. Generate & copy * Once you’ve configured the settings: * Click **Generate Proxy**. * Your proxies will appear in the **Proxy List** panel on the right side. * From there, you can: * **Copy** them directly to your clipboard. * **Download** them as a `.txt` file. The generated proxies will follow the format you selected, for example: ```text theme={null} url:port:user_abc312:pass_xxx url:port:user_abc123:pass_xxx ``` ## Billing & limits The way billing works depends on the type of proxies you purchase. **Residential proxies** are sold as **one-time packages** based on bandwidth. Every gigabyte of traffic you use is deducted from your package, and once it runs out, you simply purchase a new one. This makes Residential ideal for flexible or on-demand use, since you only pay for the data you actually consume. **ISP and Datacenter proxies,** on the other hand, work on a **monthly subscription model**. As soon as your payment is confirmed, the proxies are delivered to you automatically and remain active for the entire subscription period. Because these proxies are static and dedicated, they do not operate with bandwidth limits in the same way as Residential proxies. In both cases, your Dashboard keeps you informed of your remaining resources and active subscriptions, so you always know where you stand. if your business requires higher volumes, custom plans, or SLAs, our sales team ([team@quantumproxies.net](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net)) is available to design a solution tailored to your needs. ## Payment Methods The fastest and most common option. Pay securely with **credit or debit cards** directly through our Dashboard. \ Your plan activates instantly once payment is confirmed. Prefer paying with crypto? We’ve got you covered. Supported coins include **Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and more**. \ Payments are handled by **Cryptomus**, and plans activate as soon as the transaction is confirmed. Available for larger purchases: * **One-time buys:** from **\$500** * **Subscriptions:** from **\$1,000** If you want to pay by bank transfer, [contact our support team](/essentials/code).\ We’ll provide you with the banking details and guide you through the process. No matter which method you choose, all payments are processed securely and linked to your account. As soon as your payment clears, your proxies will be ready to use. ## Troubleshooting * Ensure your plan has sufficient allocation or balance. * Confirm that `quantity` requested does not exceed plan limits. * Make sure every generation field is filled before click "Generate" button. * Choose a different region or datacenter. * Verify the product type (datacenter for lowest latency). * Check for rate-limiting or temporary network issues. * Verify Stripe or payment method status and transaction success. * Allow a short processing window for some payment methods to clear. * Contact support with transaction id if your plan remains inactive after payment. ## Support If you encounter any issues while buying or generating proxies: * Visit **Docs → Troubleshooting** for common errors. * Contact support via **Discord** or [**team@quantumproxies.com**](mailto:team@quantumproxies.com) (or your configured contact channels). # Dedicated Server Billing Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/dedicated-servers/billing Dedicated servers are billed as a monthly subscription. Pick a 1, 3, or 6 month period at checkout for additional discounts. ## Pricing The price of each dedicated plan is shown on its card in **Dashboard → Shop → Servers**. Each plan card displays: * The monthly base price. * The discounted rate for 3-month and 6-month commitments. * Any add-ons (extra IPs, additional storage, etc.) when available. ## Billing cycle * Your subscription **starts the moment your server is delivered** (status changes to **Active**). * It **renews automatically** at the end of each billing period. * Card payments use **Stripe**; crypto payments use **Cryptomus** (manually renewed each cycle). The next renewal date is visible on the server detail page. ## Invoices Every payment generates an invoice you can view and download: 1. Open **Dashboard → Servers** and click your server. 2. Go to the **Invoices** section. 3. Click any invoice to view or download a PDF. ## Cancelling You can cancel a dedicated server subscription at any time: From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the server you want to cancel. The server remains active **until the end of the current billing period**. After that, it's decommissioned and all data is wiped. Cancellation is final at the end of the billing period — we cannot recover data from a decommissioned server. Copy out anything you need to keep before the period ends. ## Failed renewals If a card payment fails on renewal: 1. Stripe retries the charge automatically over a few days. 2. You'll get an email each time it fails. 3. After the retry window ends without a successful payment, the server is suspended, then decommissioned. Keep your payment method up to date in **Dashboard → Settings → Billing** to avoid this. ## Refunds Dedicated server subscriptions are pre-paid for the chosen period. We don't issue partial refunds for unused time. If something goes wrong at checkout or on delivery (wrong configuration, double charge, hardware issue we can't resolve), [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) within 24 hours and we'll resolve it manually. ## Custom contracts For long-term commitments, multi-server orders, or SLAs, [contact sales](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net). We can offer custom pricing and contractual terms tailored to your needs. # Buying a Dedicated Server Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/dedicated-servers/buying Order a dedicated server from the Dashboard. Delivery time depends on stock — usually a few hours, sometimes up to a business day. From the Dashboard, open **Shop → Servers**. Scroll past the VPS plans to see the dedicated server line-up. Click the plan you want. Each plan card shows the full hardware spec — CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth. If a plan card shows **Out of stock**, it means there's no available unit at the moment. [Contact us](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) and we'll let you know when stock is back. On the detail page, choose: * **Billing period** — 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. Longer periods come with a discount. * **Operating system** — Linux distribution or Windows Server. * **Hostname** — a label for your machine. You don't set a password here — we **auto-generate a secure random password** during provisioning and show it to you in the Dashboard once the server is ready. You can change it any time via **Reset Password**. Click **Buy** and complete payment via **Stripe** (card) or **Cryptomus** (crypto). Your order is registered immediately and queued for provisioning. Dedicated servers take longer to provision than VPS because we configure physical hardware. Typical delivery: * **Usually under a few hours** if stock is ready. * **Up to a business day** for less common configurations. You'll see your server in **Dashboard → Servers** with a **Provisioning…** status. Once it's ready, the status flips to **Active** and connection details appear. Open the server from **Dashboard → Servers** to see: * The public **IP address**. * Your **username** (Linux: depends on distro; Windows: `Administrator`). * The **auto-generated password** for the initial login (you can copy it, or change it via **Reset Password**). * SSH / RDP connection details. ## Need a custom configuration? If none of the listed plans match what you need (different CPU, more RAM, multiple disks, custom networking, dedicated IP ranges), [contact us](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) with your requirements and we'll quote a custom build. # Managing your Dedicated Server Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/dedicated-servers/managing Power actions, web console, password reset, and OS reinstall — all from the Dashboard. Once your dedicated server is active, head to **Dashboard → Servers** and click it to open the management panel. ## Power actions You can control the state of your server with one click: * **Start** — power on a stopped server. * **Reboot** — graceful restart. * **Stop** — shut it down (the server stays reserved and billed). * **Force stop** — only when the server is unresponsive; equivalent to pulling the power cable. **Force stop** can corrupt the file system. Use it only when a clean shutdown doesn't work. ## Web console (KVM / IPMI) If you ever get locked out via SSH or RDP — bad firewall rule, broken sshd config, anything — the web console lets you interact with the server as if you were physically plugged in. Click **Open Console** from the server detail page. The console is the safest recovery tool. If anything goes wrong with networking, SSH, or RDP, you can almost always fix it from here. ## Reset password Forgot your root / Administrator password? Reset it from the Dashboard: From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the dedicated server you want to reset. Enter a new password. The new password is applied within seconds. Use it to log in via SSH (Linux) or RDP (Windows). ## OS Reinstall You can reinstall the OS on your dedicated server at any time — useful if you want to start from a clean slate or switch operating systems. Reinstalling **wipes all data** on the server. Back up anything you need to keep before triggering it. From **Dashboard → Servers**, click your dedicated server. Pick the OS you want and set a new password. Reinstall typically takes 10–20 minutes. The server status switches to **Reinstalling…** during the process and back to **Active** when done. ## Resource usage The detail panel shows live metrics for CPU, RAM, disk, and network so you can monitor your server's health. ## Connecting to your server ### Linux ```bash theme={null} ssh root@ # or the user shown in your Dashboard connection details ``` ### Windows Server Use **Remote Desktop (RDP)** with the IP and the `Administrator` credentials shown in the Dashboard. ## Hardware swaps / upgrades If you need a hardware change (more RAM, additional disks, different NIC, dedicated IP range), [contact us](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net). We'll arrange a maintenance window and quote the change. # Overview Dedicated Servers Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/dedicated-servers/overview A dedicated server is a full physical machine reserved exclusively for you — no shared CPU, no noisy neighbors, maximum performance. Dedicated servers are the right choice when you need: * **Maximum, predictable performance** — no virtualization overhead, no shared cores. * **Heavy, sustained workloads** — large scrapers, build farms, high-traffic services, game servers. * **Full hardware control** — every CPU thread, every gigabyte of RAM, every disk is yours. If a VPS isn't enough for your workload, a dedicated server is the next step up. ## Available Plans We offer high-end AMD Ryzen machines hosted in **Frankfurt, Germany**, with **10 Gbps networking** as standard. | Plan | Best for | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | **AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D** | Top-tier single-thread + multi-thread performance | | **AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D** | Strong all-round performance, gaming, simulation | | **AMD Ryzen 7 9700X** | Balanced workloads, automation, mid-range deployments | Live specs (CPU model, cores, RAM, storage, bandwidth) are always shown on the plan card in the Dashboard. **Stock availability** — dedicated server stock changes regularly. If a plan shows **Out of stock**, [contact us](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) and we'll let you know when units come back in, or suggest the closest alternative. ## VPS vs. Dedicated — which one? | Need | Pick | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | Quick to spin up, can resize later, light/medium load | **VPS** | | Full hardware, sustained high load, no neighbors | **Dedicated** | | Need it ready in 2 minutes | **VPS** | | Need raw CPU cores or specific hardware features | **Dedicated** | ## Next Steps Walk through the order flow Power, console, password reset Pricing, renewals, cancellation Common issues and how to fix them # Troubleshooting Dedicated Servers Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/dedicated-servers/troubleshoot Common dedicated server issues and how to fix them yourself. Dedicated server delivery takes longer than VPS because we configure physical hardware. Typical delivery is under a few hours, but it can take up to a business day. If it's been more than that, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) with your order ID. * Double-check the IP and username — both shown on the server detail page. * If you changed the password recently, use the new one. * Still locked out? Open the **Web Console** from the Dashboard and log in directly. * Last resort: **Reset Password** from the Dashboard. * User is `Administrator`. * On macOS, use **Microsoft Remote Desktop** from the App Store. * If the password doesn't work, click **Reset Password** in the Dashboard and try again. * Try **Reboot** first (graceful). * If that doesn't help, use **Force Stop** then **Start**. * Open the **Web Console** to see what's happening on screen — boot output usually tells you exactly what's wrong. Click **Reset Password** in the Dashboard. The new password is applied within seconds. * Run a `ping` and `traceroute` from your local machine and from the server. * If the issue is between your ISP and our datacenter, share the traceroute output with support. * If the issue is on the server itself, check resource usage on the detail page. Use **Reinstall OS** from the server detail page. See [Managing your Dedicated Server](/documentation/dedicated-servers/managing) for the full flow. Reinstalling wipes all data. Back up first. For RAM upgrades, additional disks, NIC swaps, or dedicated IP ranges, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net). We'll arrange a maintenance window. Still stuck? Reach us via [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/Hhg94t6JRG) or [**team@quantumproxies.net**](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) and include: * Your dedicated plan * The IP address * A short description of what's failing (screenshot helps a lot) We'll get back to you quickly. # Proxy Basics Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/proxy-basics Proxies are the foundation of everything you’ll be doing with Quantum Proxies. This page explains what a proxy is, why you might use one, the types available, and the protocols we support. ## What is a Proxy? A proxy is an intermediary server that sits between your device and the internet. Instead of connecting directly to a website, your traffic is routed through a proxy first. This hides your real IP address and replaces it with one provided by Quantum Proxies. **In simple terms:** You → Proxy → Target Website ## Why Use Proxies? Proxies provide three main benefits: * **Anonymity** → Hide your real IP address from websites and services. * **Access** → Appear as if you’re connecting from another country or region. * **Stability** → Reduce blocks and captchas when scraping or automating requests. They’re widely used for tasks like price monitoring, ad verification, sneaker bots, SEO, research, and bypassing geo-restrictions. ## Types of Proxies at Quantum Proxies We provide several proxy types, each designed for different use cases: ### [Residential Proxies](/documentation/residential-proxies) IPs from real devices connected through consumer ISPs. * **Best for:** scraping, automation, ad verification. * **Key trait:** very hard to block because they look like normal users. ### [Datacenter Proxies](/documentation/datacenter-proxies) High-speed IPs hosted in data centers. * **Best for:** bulk requests, ticketing, SEO monitoring. * **Key trait:** very low latency and stable connections. ### [Static Residential (ISP Proxies)](/documentation/static-proxies) A hybrid of datacenter reliability and residential legitimacy. * **Best for:** long-running sessions that need “real” IPs. * **Key trait:** static residential IPs you can keep over time. ### Mobile Proxies (optional if offered) Real IPs from 4G/5G mobile devices. * **Best for:** social media and mobile app automation. * **Key trait:** extremely trusted by websites, as they appear like regular phones. Rotating vs Sticky Sessions * **Rotating** → your IP changes automatically on each request or after a short period. * **Sticky** → your IP remains the same for a defined session length (e.g., 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour). ## Supported Protocols All Quantum Proxies support the most common proxy protocols: * **HTTP / HTTPS** → works for most browsers, bots, and scripts. You can select the protocol in your application when connecting with the proxy credentials you generate. ## Key Takeaways * A proxy routes your internet traffic through another IP address. * Quantum Proxies offers **Residential, Datacenter, ISP (Static Residential)**, and **Mobile** options. * Choose **rotating** proxies for scale and scraping, and **sticky** sessions when you need consistency. * Supported protocols are **HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 (Coming soon)**. *** # Billing for Residential Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/residential/billing Residential proxies work on a one-time payment model. When you purchase a package, you receive a set amount of bandwidth (measured in gigabytes). ## How Billing Works Every request you send through a Residential proxy consumes bandwidth. Bandwidth is deducted **per byte of traffic** — both download and upload count. \ Once your bandwidth is used up, the plan expires, and you’ll need to purchase a new package. ## Checking Usage In the **Dashboard → Residential**, you’ll always see: * Remaining GB * GB already consumed * Percentage used This makes it easy to know when to top up. ## Example If you purchase a **10 GB package** and scrape a website that loads 1 MB per page: * Each page consumes \~1 MB of your plan. * 10 GB = \~10,000 pages loaded. For recurring projects where you know your traffic volume, consider buying larger Residential packages to reduce interruptions, contact us for that. # Daily Usage Limit Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/residential/daily-usage-limit Cap how much residential data your proxies can use per day. When the cap is hit, your proxies pause automatically until the next day — protecting you from burning through a plan faster than you intended. The **Daily Usage Limit** lets you set a per-day ceiling on how much bandwidth your residential proxies can consume. It's ideal for pacing a plan across a month, sharing a plan across projects, or guarding against a runaway script eating your whole balance overnight. By default **no limit is set** — your proxies run freely until the plan's bandwidth is used up. ## Setting a limit Go to **Dashboard → Settings**. The **Daily Usage Limit** card lists each of your active residential plans. Type the number of **GB per day** (minimum 1 GB) for the plan and click **Save**. The card immediately shows your **used today / limit** for that plan. Change the number and **Save** again to raise or lower the cap, or click **Remove limit** to lift it entirely. ## What happens when the limit is reached When a plan hits its daily cap, its proxies **pause automatically**. While paused you'll see a message on the card: > Proxies paused — daily limit reached. They resume at midnight UTC, or raise/remove the limit to resume now. You have two ways to resume: * **Wait** — usage resets at **midnight UTC** and proxies resume on their own. * **Raise or remove the limit** — proxies resume **immediately**, no waiting. The daily counter resets at **00:00 UTC**, not at your local midnight. If you set a cap of, say, 5 GB/day, that 5 GB is measured against the UTC day. The Daily Usage Limit is currently available on **Quantum Premium** residential plans. It appears in Settings only for plans that support automatic pausing — other residential products won't show a card. # Generating Residential Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/residential/generation Once you’ve purchased a Residential plan, you’ll need to generate proxies before you can use them. This process is handled directly in the Dashboard Navigate to Dashboard → Residential. \ You’ll see all active plans displayed, with remaining bandwidth and used bandwidth. Choose the plan you want to use: Screenshot 2025-09-29 at 17.02.19.png

In the ***Generate Pool Name Residential Proxies*** panel, you can customize: * **Country** → Choose the country you want your proxies to come from. * **Format** → Decide how they are displayed (e.g., `ip:port:user:pass`). * **Type** → Select **Rotating** (change automatically) or **Sticky** (hold the same IP for a period). * **Quantity** → How many proxies to generate in one batch (Up to 5000 proxies). Screenshot 2025-09-29 at 17.02.52.png

Click **Generate Proxy** and your proxies will appear in the **Proxy List**. From there, you can: * **Copy** them to clipboard. * **Download** them as a `.txt` file. You can check your **total** and **daily** usage: * Total usage is showing in "Remaining" section of every Residential plan box. * Daily usage is showing when clicking the "(i)" icon in the "Used" sectin of every Residential plan box. In some Residential plans you are able to check daily usage of the last 30/60/90 days. Screenshot2025 11 15at14 01 11 Pn

Tip: Generating a proxy doesn’t consume bandwidth. Bandwidth is only used once traffic flows through it. ## Resetting your proxy credentials If your proxy username and password leak, or you just want to rotate them, you can regenerate the credentials for a plan from **Dashboard → Settings → Reset Proxy Authentication**. Go to **Dashboard → Settings**. The **Reset Proxy Authentication** card lists each of your active residential plans. A new password is generated for that plan instantly. Newly generated proxies will use the updated credentials. Resetting credentials **immediately invalidates every proxy you generated before the reset** for that plan. After resetting, head back to **Dashboard → Residential** and generate a fresh batch. # Overview Residential Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/residential/residential-proxies Residential proxies are IP addresses sourced from real consumer devices connected through ISPs.

> As they look just like normal users, websites treat them with a higher level of trust compared to datacenter IPs. They are the **most versatile type of proxy** we offer, perfect for tasks such as: * Web scraping & crawling * Ad verification * Social media automation * Market research & competitor tracking * SEO monitoring ## How They Differ from Static Proxies * **Residential Proxies** → One-time bandwidth packages. You generate them dynamically from the Dashboard. * **ISP/Datacenter Proxies** → Subscription-based, static IPs automatically delivered after purchase. This distinction is crucial: with Residential, you’re paying for **traffic used (GB)**, while ISP/Datacenter are billed on a **monthly subscription basis**. ## Next Steps Check our Discord server Generate your residential proxies Troubleshoot your proxy issues Learn everything about residential billing # Troubleshooting Residential Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/residential/troubleshoot If you run into issues, here are common problems and how to fix them: * Ensure your plan still has bandwidth. * Verify you selected a country and entered a quantity. * Some tools retry failed requests aggressively. Limit retries or add delays. * Optimize your requests to avoid downloading unnecessary data. * Never share your proxies with anyone * Try a different country for better routing. * Rotate proxies if you’re seeing temporary blocks. * Check if the proxy protocol matches your browser configuration (HTTP vs SOCKS5). * Some browsers require `user:pass@ip:port` format — confirm you’re using the supported one. * Try with a simple tool like `curl` first to confirm the proxy itself works. * Some sites use aggressive anti-bot protection. Try rotating proxies more often. * Add **delays between requests** to mimic human browsing. * Change your user-agent or use browser automation instead of raw HTTP requests. * If a specific site is critical, consider upgrading to **ISP or Datacenter proxies** for static IP reliability. * Ensure you generated at least one proxy before clicking **Download**. * Some browsers block automatic `.txt` downloads; check your browser’s downloads folder or settings. * Use the **Copy** button as an alternative if downloads are restricted.

A server is a computer that runs 24/7 on a high-speed connection in a datacenter. You connect to it remotely (via SSH for Linux, RDP for Windows) and use it exactly like your own laptop — except it's always on, has a fixed public IP, and is engineered for performance and uptime. **In simple terms:** Your laptop → Internet → Your Quantum Server → Target Website We offer two types of servers: * **Virtual Private Server (VPS)** — a virtual machine running on shared physical hardware, with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and disk allocated to your VM. * **Dedicated Server** — a full physical machine, with all hardware reserved for you alone. ## Why Use a Server? Running your workload on a Quantum server, instead of your own laptop, gives you four big advantages: ### 1. Better connectivity & lower latency Our servers sit in **Frankfurt, Germany** — one of the largest internet exchange points in Europe (DE-CIX). That means: * **Low ping** to most major websites and APIs (sneaker sites, social platforms, marketplaces, ticketing). * **Stable peering** with the big carriers — fewer packet drops than a residential connection. * **Symmetric 10 Gbps uplinks** — your home fibre is fast on downloads, but a server's upload speed is what matters for automation and scraping. In practice, a request that takes 200ms from your laptop in a different country can take 20–40ms from one of our servers. Across thousands of requests, that adds up to a much faster and more reliable workflow. ### 2. Always on Your laptop sleeps. Your home Wi-Fi drops. Power goes out. None of that matters when your workload runs on a server — it just keeps going. Cron jobs, scrapers, bots, Discord automations, monitoring tasks: they all run continuously, even when you close your laptop. ### 3. Real resources, separated from your daily work Heavy automation (multiple browser instances, large datasets, parallel scrapers) chews through CPU and RAM. Running them on your daily machine means your laptop slows down and burns out faster. A Quantum server takes that load off your hands. ### 4. A static, professional identity Your home IP changes, gets flagged by anti-bot systems, and ties everything you do to your real location. A server gives you a **clean, stable public IP** — often the foundation that proxies, accounts, and automations sit on top of. ## Common Use Cases People typically use Quantum servers for: * **Sneaker / ticketing bots** — proximity to drop sites + always-on uptime. * **Web scraping & crawling at scale** — many parallel workers without melting your laptop. * **Discord bots and automation** — needs 24/7 uptime; a server is the standard pick. * **Account farming & management** — stable IP identity for long-lived sessions. * **Hosting personal services** — VPNs, dashboards, internal tools, small APIs. * **Game servers** — Minecraft, Rust, CS, and similar self-hosted games. * **Trading bots & market monitoring** — low latency to exchanges and feeds matters. * **Development & testing environments** — a clean, isolated machine you can break and rebuild. ## VPS or Dedicated — How to Choose You want it ready in 2 minutes, a predictable monthly price, and the freedom to upgrade later. Great for most workloads up to medium scale. You need maximum raw performance, no shared cores, or specific hardware features (lots of RAM, fast single-thread CPU, large disks). A simple rule of thumb: | Need | Pick | | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | Spin up fast, can resize later, light-to-medium load | **VPS** | | Heavy sustained load, no noisy neighbors, full hardware access | **Dedicated** | | Tightest budget | **VPS Plank** | | Maximum performance per dollar at the top end | **Dedicated** | ## What's Included with Every Server Every Quantum server, VPS or dedicated, comes with: * **Full root / Administrator access** — install anything. * **Choice of OS** — Ubuntu, Debian, or Windows Server 2022. * **Public IPv4 address** — extendable with extra IPs. * **Web console (VNC / KVM)** — recover the machine even if you lose SSH access. * **One-click password reset** from the Dashboard. * **Live metrics** for CPU, RAM, disk, and network. * **Frankfurt datacenter** — DE-CIX peering, low EU latency. ## Key Takeaways * A server is an always-on machine in our datacenter — much more capable than running workloads on your laptop. * Frankfurt location means **low latency** to most European and major global websites. * **VPS** is the right starting point for most workloads; **Dedicated** is for the heaviest, most performance-sensitive ones. * Both come with full root access, your choice of OS, and Dashboard tools to manage them. *** Overview, plans, and how to buy a VPS Overview, plans, and how to order a dedicated machine # Datacenter Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/static-proxies/datacenter-proxies Datacenter proxies are IP addresses hosted in high-performance data centers rather than on consumer devices. Slide 16_9 - 3 (1).png

They are fast, stable, and low-latency, making them ideal for use cases that require speed and volume rather than stealth. ## Why Datacenter Proxies? Unlike Residential proxies, which are sourced from real devices, Datacenter proxies are generated from dedicated server infrastructures. They provide: * **High speed and low latency,** best for bulk automation and real-time tasks. * **Reliability**, with stable connections across long sessions. * **Scalability**, making it easier to manage large numbers of concurrent requests. ## How Datacenter Plans Work Datacenter proxies are sold as a monthly subscription plan. Once you purchase a package, your proxies are delivered automatically in the Dashboard under **Datacenter Proxies**. You do not need to generate them like Residential proxies. Instead: * Your proxies appear immediately after payment. * You can download them as a `.txt` file or copy them to your clipboard. * They remain active for as long as your subscription is valid. At the end of the billing period, you can renew or upgrade your subscription to continue using them. ## Using the Dashboard 1. After purchase, go to \*\*Dashboard → Generation → ISP & Datacenter \*\*. 2. Your active proxies will already be listed — no setup required. 3. Use the **Copy** or **Download** buttons to export them. The proxies are static and dedicated to you, so the list will not change unless you adjust or renew your subscription. ## Example of a Datacenter Proxy ``` 123.45.67.89:8000:user_abc123:pass_xxx 123.45.67.89:8001:user_abc123:pass_xxx ``` # ISP (Static Residential) Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/static-proxies/isp-proxies ISP proxies, also known as Static Residential proxies, are IP addresses provided by real Internet Service Providers but hosted in data centers. Slide 16_9 - 2.png

This gives them the best of both worlds: the trust of residential IPs with the stability and speed of datacenter infrastructure. They are an excellent choice when you need long-lived, static IPs that look like real users but perform with the consistency of server-hosted connections. ## Why ISP Proxies? Compared to standard Residential or Datacenter proxies: * They are trusted like residential IPs, since they originate from ISPs. * They are stable and static, meaning the IP address does not change. * They perform at low latency and with strong reliability. This makes them ideal for applications that cannot afford frequent IP changes or rotations. ## How ISP Plans Work ISP proxies are delivered as a monthly subscription plan. Once payment is confirmed, your proxies appear automatically in the **Dashboard → Generation → ISP & Datacenter** section. Unlike Residential proxies, you do not need to generate them. They are provisioned directly and remain active until the subscription period ends. From the Dashboard you can: * Copy them to your clipboard. * Download them as a `.txt` file. * Monitor subscription status and renewal dates. ## Supported Carriers All ISP proxies come from real, reputable Internet Service Providers. We currently support: * **Deutsche Telekom** **AG** * **Glide** * **RCN** * **Virgin Media** By using IPs from these major carriers, our ISP proxies maintain the trust and legitimacy required for high-success-rate tasks. ## Using the Dashboard 1. Purchase an ISP subscription from the Dashboard. 2. Navigate to **Dashboard → Generation → ISP & Datacenter** 3. Your assigned proxies will be displayed immediately. 4. Use the **Copy** or **Download** options to export them into your workflow. Because they are static, your proxy list will not change unless you switch plans or renew with different resources. ## Best Use Cases ISP proxies are best for scenarios where IP stability and trust are critical: * E-commerce automation and account management * Social media and platform account operations * Long-term scraping sessions that require a fixed IP identity * Ad verification that must appear from a consistent residential-like IP * Workflows where both performance and legitimacy matter ## Billing and Renewal * ISP proxies are billed monthly as a subscription. * Proxies remain active until the subscription expires. * Renewal keeps the same proxy pool active. ## Troubleshooting * Refresh the Dashboard; assignment can take a few seconds. * Confirm you are checking the ISP Proxies section. If still missing, contact support with your order details. If still missing, contact support with your order details. * Double-check the username:password credentials. * Verify that the format matches your tool’s requirements (ip:port:user:pass or user:pass\@ip:port). * Test proxies individually to identify if a specific IP is slow. * Ensure your network or script is not creating excessive concurrent requests. Contact support if you consistently experience poor performance across multiple proxies. * Verify that your payment was processed successfully. * Renew your subscription to maintain the same proxies. ## Key Points * ISP proxies combine residential trust with datacenter performance. * They are sold as a monthly subscription and remain static during the subscription period. * No generation is required — they are provisioned automatically after payment. * Best for long-term, stable, and high-trust use cases. * Supported carriers include Deutsche Telekom, Glide, RCN, and Virgin Media. # Overview Static Proxies Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/static-proxies/static-proxies Static proxies are fixed IP addresses delivered to you on a subscription. Unlike residential proxies, the IP doesn't change — and you're billed monthly rather than by traffic. Static proxies give you **dedicated, unchanging IP addresses** that stay yours for the life of your subscription. They're the right choice when you need a stable identity, predictable performance, and no per-GB metering. We offer two kinds of static proxies: * **ISP (Static Residential) Proxies** — IPs registered to real Internet Service Providers but hosted in datacenters. They combine the trust of residential IPs with datacenter speed and stability. * **Datacenter Proxies** — IPs hosted entirely in datacenters. The fastest and most cost-effective option when raw speed matters more than residential trust. ## How they differ from Residential * **Static (ISP / Datacenter)** → Subscription-based, fixed IPs delivered automatically after purchase. Billed **monthly**. * **Residential** → One-time bandwidth packages generated on demand. Billed by **traffic used (GB)**. With static proxies you pay a flat monthly subscription for the IPs themselves — there's no bandwidth meter. With residential you pay for the data you push through. ## Next Steps Static residential IPs from real ISPs Fast, datacenter-hosted static IPs # VPS Backups Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/virtual-private-servers/backups Automatic weekly snapshots of your entire VPS, kept on our backup server. Restore on demand. If you enabled **automatic backups** when buying your VPS, we snapshot the full disk **once a week** and store it on our dedicated backup infrastructure. ## How it works * Backups run **once every 7 days**, automatically. * Each backup is a **full disk snapshot** — everything on your VPS, including the OS, installed software, and data. * Snapshots are **deduplicated and compressed** on our backup server, so storage doesn't bloat over time. * The **most recent snapshot is always kept**. Older snapshots may be pruned to make room. Backups don't affect your VPS performance — the snapshot is taken without freezing your applications. ## Enabling backups You can enable backups in two ways: * **At checkout** — tick the **Automatic Backups** option when configuring your VPS. * **After purchase** — open the VPS detail page and toggle **Backups: ON**. The first backup runs within \~7 days; if you want one sooner, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net). ## Restoring from a backup Restoring rolls your entire VPS back to the state it was in when the snapshot was taken — **all changes made after that snapshot will be lost**. From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the VPS you want to restore. In the **Backups** section, choose the snapshot you want to restore from. The VPS shuts down, the snapshot is restored, and the machine boots back up. It typically takes a few minutes depending on disk size. Restoring is destructive — any data created or changed **after** the snapshot date will be permanently lost. Back up critical recent work manually before restoring. ## Best practices * **Test your restores** at least once after enabling backups, so you know the flow. * **Keep important data off the boot disk** if possible — pushing to git, S3, or another off-server location protects you against the worst-case scenario. * **Don't rely on backups for short-term mistakes** — they run weekly, so a file you delete on day 6 may not be in the latest snapshot. ## FAQ Backups are stored on our internal backup infrastructure and aren't directly downloadable. If you need a copy of your data outside of our system, copy it from inside the VPS (e.g., via `scp` or to cloud storage) before any incident. Weekly backups are an optional add-on at **\$5 / month** per VPS. The add-on is billed alongside your VPS subscription on the same cycle (1, 3, or 6 months). Backups are tied to the VPS — once you cancel, the snapshots are eventually removed. If you need to keep them, copy your data out before cancelling. Not directly from the Dashboard yet — [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) and we'll trigger one for you. # VPS Billing Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/virtual-private-servers/billing VPS plans are billed as a subscription. Pick a 1, 3, or 6 month period at checkout — longer periods come with a discount. ## Pricing | Plan | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | | ------------ | --------- | ------------ | ------------ | | **Plank** | \$32 / mo | \$29 / mo | \$28.33 / mo | | **Broglie** | \$44 / mo | \$39.67 / mo | \$39 / mo | | **Einstein** | \$64 / mo | \$58 / mo | \$56.67 / mo | Prices are per month, charged upfront for the full billing period. **Add-ons:** * **Extra IPv4 addresses** — \$1.45 / IP / month, up to 8 extras per VPS. * **Weekly automatic backups** — **\$5 / month** per VPS (optional add-on). ## Billing cycle * Your subscription **starts immediately** after payment. * It **renews automatically** at the end of each billing period (1, 3, or 6 months). * Card payments use **Stripe**; crypto payments use **Cryptomus** (manually renewed each cycle). You can see the next renewal date on the VPS detail page. ## Upgrading mid-cycle If you upgrade a VPS to a larger plan partway through a billing period, you're charged only the **prorated difference** between the two plans for the time remaining in the current period — not a full new period. Your renewal date stays the same; future renewals are at the new plan's price. See [Managing your VPS → Upgrade your plan](/documentation/virtual-private-servers/managing#upgrade-your-plan) for the steps. ## Invoices Every payment generates an invoice you can view and download from the Dashboard: 1. Open **Dashboard → Servers** and click your VPS. 2. Open the **Invoices** section. 3. Click any invoice to view or download a PDF. ## Cancelling You can cancel your VPS subscription at any time from the Dashboard: From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the VPS you want to cancel. Your VPS remains active **until the end of the current billing period**. After that, the machine and all data on it are permanently deleted. Cancellation is final at the end of the billing period — we cannot recover data from a deleted VPS. Copy out anything you need to keep before the period ends. ## Failed renewals If a card payment fails on renewal: 1. Stripe automatically retries the charge over a few days. 2. You'll get an email each time it fails. 3. After the retry window ends without a successful payment, the VPS is suspended and then removed. To avoid this, keep your payment method up to date in **Dashboard → Settings → Billing**. ## Refunds VPS subscriptions are pre-paid for the chosen period. We don't issue partial refunds for unused time. If you ran into a problem at checkout (wrong plan, double charge, provisioning failure), [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) within 24 hours and we'll sort it out manually. # Buying a VPS Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/virtual-private-servers/buying Order a VPS in a few clicks. Provisioning is automatic — your machine is ready in roughly 1–2 minutes after payment. From the Dashboard, open **Shop → Servers**. You'll see all available VPS plans (Plank, Broglie, Einstein) and the dedicated server line-up. Click the plan you want to buy. You'll land on the configuration page where you choose every detail of the machine. On the detail page you can choose: * **Billing period** — 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. Longer periods come with a discount. * **Operating system** — Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 25, Debian 12, Debian 13, or Windows Server 2022. * **Hostname** — a label for your VM (you can leave the default). * **Extra IPs** — add up to 8 additional public IPv4 addresses at **\$1.45/IP/month**. * **Automatic backups** — opt in to weekly snapshots (**\$5 / month**, optional). You don't need to choose a password here — we **auto-generate a secure random password** for your VPS during provisioning. It will be shown to you in the Dashboard once the VPS is ready. You can change it any time via **Reset Password**. Click **Buy** and complete payment. We accept: * **Stripe** — credit / debit card, instant. * **Cryptomus** — Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and more. Once payment is confirmed, provisioning starts automatically. Your VPS appears immediately in **Dashboard → Servers** with a **Building…** status while we install the OS and configure networking. As soon as it's ready, the status flips to **Active** and you can connect. Once your VPS is active, click it from **Dashboard → Servers** to see: * The public **IP address**. * Your **username** (`ubuntu`, `debian`, or `Administrator` for Windows). * The **auto-generated password** for the initial login (you can copy it from the Dashboard, or change it any time via **Reset Password**). * SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows) connection details. ## What happens behind the scenes Right after payment, our system: 1. Reserves a free IP for your machine. 2. Clones a fresh copy of your chosen OS. 3. Generates a secure random password and applies your hostname and network configuration. 4. Boots the machine and verifies it's reachable. The whole flow is automatic — you don't need to do anything between paying and connecting. ## Troubleshooting purchase issues Building usually completes in 1–2 minutes. If it's been more than 10 minutes, refresh the Dashboard. Our system automatically detects stuck builds and recovers them within a few minutes. If the issue persists, contact support with your order ID. Refresh the Dashboard once — provisioning kicks off the moment payment is confirmed. If nothing appears after a few minutes, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) with your payment reference and we'll trace it. Reset it directly from the Dashboard. See [Managing your VPS](/documentation/virtual-private-servers/managing) for the steps. # Managing your VPS Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/virtual-private-servers/managing Power actions, web console, password reset, and everything else you can do from the Dashboard. Once your VPS is active, head to **Dashboard → Servers** and click it to open the management panel. ## Power actions You can control the state of your VPS with one click: * **Start** — boot a stopped VM. * **Reboot** — graceful restart. * **Stop** — shut it down (the VM still exists and bills as usual). * **Force stop** — only use this if the VM is unresponsive; it's the equivalent of pulling the power cable. **Force stop** can corrupt the file system if a write was in progress. Use it only when a clean shutdown doesn't work. ## Web console (VNC) Locked out via SSH? Forgot a firewall rule that blocked yourself off? The web console gets you back in. Click **Open Console** from the VPS detail page — a new browser tab opens with a live VNC session connected directly to your VM. It works exactly like a physical monitor and keyboard plugged into the server. The console is the safest recovery tool. If anything goes wrong with networking, SSH, or RDP, you can almost always fix it from here. ## Reset password Forgot your root / Administrator password? Reset it in seconds: From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the VPS you want to reset. Enter a new password. The new password is applied **live** — no reboot required. On Linux, you can use it immediately for SSH. On Windows, it's applied to the **Administrator** account within a couple of seconds and you can RDP straight in. On Windows, the very first password reset can take up to \~10 seconds because we also normalize the local admin account name. Subsequent resets are instant. If a reset fails, the VPS is almost always still booting or powered off. Make sure it's **started**, wait about a minute, then try again. If it keeps failing, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net). ## Upgrade your plan Outgrown your current plan? You can move a VPS up to a larger plan (Plank → Broglie → Einstein) in place — without rebuilding the machine or losing data. From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the VPS you want to upgrade. The **Upgrade plan** card shows your current plan. A dialog lists the larger plans you can move to, each showing its **RAM, vCPU, disk** and the **prorated price** for the rest of your billing period. Pick one. You're charged the **prorated difference immediately**, and the server **reboots briefly (\~1–2 min)** to apply the new resources. Your **disk and all data are preserved**. Upgrades are **VPS-only** (dedicated servers aren't upgraded this way) and move in one direction — you can go up a plan, not down. The **Upgrade plan** button is unavailable while a VPS is still **building**, **suspended**, or has a **cancellation scheduled**. ## Resource usage The detail panel shows live metrics for: * **CPU** usage * **RAM** usage * **Disk** usage * **Network** I/O Use these to spot when you're approaching plan limits or when a runaway process is eating resources. ## Connecting to your VPS ### Linux (Ubuntu / Debian) Use SSH from your terminal: ```bash theme={null} ssh ubuntu@ # or for Debian images: ssh debian@ ``` You'll be prompted for the password shown on the VPS detail page (or the latest one you reset to). ### Windows Server 2022 Use **Remote Desktop (RDP)**: * **Host:** your VPS IP * **User:** `Administrator` * **Password:** the auto-generated password shown on the VPS detail page (or the latest one you reset to) On macOS, install **Microsoft Remote Desktop** from the App Store. On Windows, use the built-in **Remote Desktop Connection** app. ## Extra IPs If you bought extra IPs at checkout, they're listed in the VPS detail panel. Each one is a fully routed public IPv4 address attached to your machine — you can use them to bind multiple services on the same port, run reverse proxies, or distribute outgoing traffic. On Linux, extra IPs are configured automatically via cloud-init. On Windows, you may need to add them manually in **Network Adapter → IPv4 Properties → Advanced**. # Overview Virtual Private Servers Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/virtual-private-servers/overview A Quantum VPS is a private virtual machine running on our infrastructure, with its own OS, root access, and a public IP — ready to use in a couple of minutes. A VPS is the right pick when you need a real always-on machine — to run automations, host bots, deploy small services, or any workload that benefits from a fixed, dedicated environment. ## What You Get Every Quantum VPS includes: * **Guaranteed resources** — vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage allocated to your VM on shared hardware. * **Full root / Administrator access** — install anything you want. * **A public IPv4 address** — optionally extendable with up to 8 extra IPs. * **Choice of operating system** — Ubuntu, Debian, or Windows Server 2022. * **Optional weekly automatic backups** — kept on our backup server (**\$5 / month** add-on). * **Web console (VNC)** — recover the VM even if you lose SSH access. * **One-click password reset** — directly from the Dashboard. ## Available Plans All VPS plans are hosted in **Frankfurt, Germany** on NVMe storage with **10 Gbps networking** as standard. | Plan | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Best for | | ------------ | ---- | ----- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | **Plank** | 8 | 16 GB | 100 GB NVMe | Light automations, small bots, dev environments | | **Broglie** | 12 | 24 GB | 120 GB NVMe | Multi-process workloads, heavier scrapers, mid-traffic | | **Einstein** | 16 | 32 GB | 150 GB NVMe | Demanding workloads, multiple services on one machine | Not sure which to pick? Start with **Plank** — you can resize later by ordering a larger plan and migrating your workload. ## Operating Systems Choose your OS at checkout. We currently offer: * **Ubuntu 24.04 LTS** * **Ubuntu 25.04** * **Debian 12** * **Debian 13** * **Windows Server 2022** All Linux images come with cloud-init pre-configured. Windows images come with the Administrator account ready to use. For every OS, we **auto-generate a secure random password** during provisioning and show it to you in the Dashboard — you can copy it, use it to log in, and reset it to one of your own choosing at any time. ## Next Steps Walk through the checkout flow Power actions, console, password reset How automatic backups work Pricing, renewals, cancellation # Troubleshooting VPS Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/documentation/virtual-private-servers/troubleshoot Common VPS issues and how to fix them yourself in seconds. * Double-check the IP address — copy it from the VPS detail page. * Confirm the user is `ubuntu` for Ubuntu images or `debian` for Debian images (not `root`). * If you changed the password recently, make sure you're using the new one. * Still locked out? Open the **Web Console (VNC)** from the Dashboard and log in directly — no SSH needed. * Last resort: **Reset Password** from the Dashboard, then try again. * The username is `Administrator` (case-sensitive on some clients). * On macOS, use **Microsoft Remote Desktop** from the App Store. * If the connection refuses outright, the VM may still be in the final boot stage — wait 30 seconds and retry. * If the password doesn't work, click **Reset Password** in the Dashboard and try again with the new one. * Try **Reboot** from the Dashboard first — it's a graceful restart. * If reboot doesn't help, use **Force Stop** then **Start** (this is closer to pulling the power cable). * Open the **Web Console** to see the boot output — it often tells you exactly what's wrong. Building usually completes in 1–2 minutes. If it's been more than 10 minutes, refresh the page. Our system auto-recovers stuck builds within a few minutes. If it's still stuck after 15 minutes, contact support with your order ID. Open the metrics chart on the VPS detail page to see when the spike started. On Linux, SSH in and run `top`, `htop`, or `iotop` to find the culprit. On Windows, open Task Manager. If your workload regularly maxes out the plan, consider [upgrading to a larger plan](/documentation/virtual-private-servers/managing#upgrade-your-plan) — it's done in place, keeps your data, and only needs a brief reboot. No worries — click **Reset Password** in the Dashboard. The new password is applied live, no reboot required. A failed reset almost always means we couldn't reach the server to apply the new password — usually because it's still **booting** or **powered off**. * Make sure the VPS is **started** (use **Start** from the Dashboard if it's stopped). * Wait about a **minute** for it to finish booting, then click **Reset Password** again. * If it still fails after the machine is clearly up, [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) with your VPS IP. * On **Linux**, extras are configured automatically via cloud-init. Reboot once if they aren't showing up in `ip a`. * On **Windows**, you may need to add them manually under **Network Adapter → IPv4 Properties → Advanced → Add**. * Make sure your firewall (UFW, Windows Defender) isn't blocking them. OS reinstall isn't a self-service action yet — [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) and we'll trigger a clean reinstall on the same IP within a few minutes. Still stuck? Reach us via [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/Hhg94t6JRG) or [**team@quantumproxies.net**](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) and include: * Your VPS plan + region * The IP address * A short description of what's failing and the exact error (screenshot helps) We'll get back to you quickly. # Introduction Source: https://docs.quantumproxies.net/index Welcome to the official Quantum Proxies Documentation
