Entry points

An entry point is where your connection reaches our network. It sets your latency to us. It does not set where your traffic comes out.

The entry points

Region	Hostname	Status
US East	us-east.gw.rayobyte.com	Live
Asia Pacific (Southeast)	ap-southeast.gw.rayobyte.com	Live
Europe (West)	eu-west.gw.rayobyte.com	Coming soon
South America (East)	sa-east.gw.rayobyte.com	Coming soon

Ports are the same on every one: 8000 for HTTP and HTTPS, 1080 for SOCKS5 and the UDP protocols.

Rotating ISP and Rotating DC have their own host and port, shown in the dashboard under Proxy Access. Use the values there.

Which to pick

The one closest to your servers. If your scrapers run in Singapore, connecting to us-east sends every request across the Pacific twice before it starts.

If your infrastructure is spread out, use the nearest entry point per region rather than funneling everything through one.

Entry point is not exit country

This is the thing to take away from this page.

# Connects via Singapore. Exits in the United States.
curl -x USERNAME:[email protected]:8000 \
  https://api.ipify.org

Your exit is chosen by -country- and the other targeting options. The entry point only shortens the first hop.

If you want a US exit, send -country-US. Connecting to us-east does not do it for you, and connecting to ap-southeast does not prevent it.

Switching between them

Nothing else changes. Same credentials, same ports, same targeting options. You can point different workers at different entry points using one account.

Legacy hostname

la.residential.rayobyte.com still works and reaches the same network. It will be sunset at the end of 2026. Move to a regional entry point before then.
