I need help with proxies

[DStudio]

What does a proxy seller mean when he says 5 or 10 ports?
Are these the same IP addresses on different ports.

For example:
1.1.1.1:80
1.1.1.1:8080

Or it is the entire range on a specific port.

For example:
1.1.1.1:80 to 1.1.1.255:80

Every port have different outgoing IP in most cases.

IT's how they base their pricing. Let me explain it.

There are two pricing models in the residential proxies space:

• Usage-based – you pay for the data used. The more requests you send and the more data used, the more you have to pay.

• PORT-based – you have unlimited bandwidth, but a limited number of requests you can send at any given time.

Basically, a PORT gives you another exit IP and increases the number of threads (connections) you can use.

And as in the case of bandwidth-based pricing, the more concurrent connections you send through the proxy network, the more PORTs you will need to avoid a bottle-neck effect.

Thank you for your reply.
Everything is much clearer to me now.
