AYCD's toolset โ OneClick for bot checkout, TabSentry for isolated multi-session browsing, and AutoSolve for CAPTCHA pre-solving โ is built to operate against retailers that actively hunt for automation. Nike, Adidas, Footlocker, Supreme, and most Shopify-based releases all run detection layers that flag datacenter IP ranges immediately. None of AYCD's tools work reliably without residential proxies behind them. This is a practical walkthrough of what each tool needs and how to wire BuyProxy into each one.
What Each AYCD Tool Actually Needs From a Proxy
OneClick
OneClick is AYCD's checkout engine for Nike SNKRS, Adidas Confirmed, Footlocker, Supreme, and Shopify-based drops. Its proxy requirements are fairly standard:
- HTTP/HTTPS protocol with username:password authentication
- Accepts either
host:port:user:passorhttp://user:pass@host:portformat - Rotating residential for add-to-cart tasks; sticky residential (10โ30 min) for full checkout flows
- One proxy connection per bot task
- Geo matched to the target retailer's region
TabSentry
TabSentry runs isolated browser sessions, each with its own fingerprint. The proxy setup needs to match that isolation:
- Sticky residential โ the same IP held for the entire session duration
- City-targeted, ideally matched to each profile's claimed location
- A distinct sticky IP per profile โ never share one IP across multiple TabSentry profiles
BuyProxy's sticky sessions support this directly through session-string parameters in the username โ appending a unique session ID per profile guarantees each one gets a distinct IP for its duration.
AutoSolve
AutoSolve pre-farms CAPTCHA tokens ahead of a drop so bots can inject them instantly instead of solving live. The proxy requirements here are stricter than for straightforward checkout tasks:
- Residential only โ token scoring is tied to IP reputation, and datacenter IPs produce low-quality or unsolvable tokens
- Rotating, to avoid per-IP rate limits on repeated token requests
- Geo-matched to the target site's primary region
- Low latency, since farming needs to keep pace with token demand during a drop
See our dedicated CAPTCHA farming guide for the mechanics of how token scoring actually works.
BuyProxy Compatibility Across the AYCD Suite
| AYCD Tool | Compatible | Relevant BuyProxy Feature |
|---|---|---|
| OneClick (Nike, Adidas, Footlocker) | Yes | Rotating residential, city targeting, up to 30-min sticky |
| OneClick (Shopify, Supreme) | Yes | Rotating residential, no hard concurrency cap |

| AutoSolve (CAPTCHA farming) | Yes | Rotating residential, geo-targeting, real ISP ASNs |
Step-by-Step: BuyProxy in OneClick
- Get your BuyProxy credentials. Sign up and pull your gateway address and login from the dashboard, or start with the 5-day Pro trial to test first.
- Generate a proxy list for your target geo. Use city or country parameters in the username to scope IPs to your drop's region โ e.g. US, UK, or EU.
- Format for OneClick. OneClick accepts
host:port:username:password:gate.buyproxy.org:PORT:your_user-country-us:your_pass - Import the list. Paste it into OneClick's proxy import field, then set rotation mode โ rotate per task for add-to-cart, sticky for checkout.
- Test before the real drop. Run a task against a lower-stakes release first to confirm connectivity and latency.
Step-by-Step: BuyProxy in TabSentry
- Create a unique sticky session string per profile:
user-country-us-city-new_york-session-profile01 - Set the proxy per browser profile in HTTP format:
http://user-country-us-city-new_york-session-profile01:pass@gate.buyproxy.org:PORT - Match geo to billing. Confirm each profile's proxy city aligns with that profile's payment/billing address.
- Verify isolation. Open an IP-check page in each session to confirm every profile is actually getting a distinct IP before running the drop for real.
Relevant BuyProxy Specs for AYCD Workflows
| Spec | BuyProxy | Why It Matters for AYCD |

FAQ
Does BuyProxy work with AYCD OneClick without special configuration?
Yes. BuyProxy uses standard HTTP/HTTPS proxy format with username:password authentication โ exactly what OneClick expects. Import your proxy list, set geo-targeting via the username, and run. Full connection details are in the docs.
Rotating vs sticky โ which do I use for AYCD tasks?
Rotating residential assigns a new IP per request or connection, which suits add-to-cart tasks where each attempt should look like a distinct visitor. Sticky residential holds one IP for a set duration โ needed for checkout flows where the session has to stay continuous across multiple requests. Most AYCD setups use rotating for ATC and sticky for checkout.
How much bandwidth does a typical AYCD drop use?
It depends on task count and target site, but a Nike SNKRS run with around 50 tasks typically uses somewhere in the range of half a gigabyte to a couple of gigabytes. A Shopify drop with more tasks runs somewhat higher. At $1.99/GB pay-as-you-go, most single drops cost only a few dollars in bandwidth.
Can I carry unused bandwidth between drops?
Yes. BuyProxy's pay-as-you-go credits never expire โ top up ahead of a release, use what you need, and the remainder stays available for the next one. This suits sneaker drops better than a subscription that resets monthly regardless of usage.
Do I need US residential IPs specifically for US Nike drops?
Generally yes. Nike's geo-detection can treat non-US IPs as suspicious on US-region drops. BuyProxy supports city-level targeting across US metros โ matching your proxy city to your billing profile's location is good practice regardless of retailer.
Does TabSentry need SOCKS5, or is HTTP enough?
TabSentry primarily uses HTTP/HTTPS, which BuyProxy fully supports. SOCKS5 is also available if a specific integration or workflow calls for it, but standard HTTP configuration covers the typical TabSentry setup.
Getting Started
BuyProxy's residential network is compatible with AYCD's full toolset out of the box โ no custom configuration beyond standard credential and geo-targeting parameters. Start with a 5-day Pro trial to test it against your actual drop targets, or review the pricing tiers if you're planning around a higher, recurring task volume.
