Enabling `stealth` mode adds two managed services on top:

1. **Default residential proxy** — traffic routes through Kernel's residential proxy pool.
1. **Default proxy** — traffic routes through a static ISP proxy, providing a stable exit IP for the session.
2. **Automatic CAPTCHA solver** — solves [reCAPTCHAs](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo), Cloudflare challenges, and similar tests automatically.

Both are opt-out so you can [bring your own](#bring-your-own-proxy-or-captcha-solver) where it makes sense.

### IP Rotation Behavior

The default stealth proxy provides a **static exit IP** — all connections within the session exit through the same IP address. If you override the default with a [residential proxy](/proxies/residential), exit IPs will rotate per connection. See [Residential IP Rotation Behavior](/proxies/residential#ip-rotation-behavior) for details.

To turn on stealth mode, set its flag when instantiating Kernel browsers:

Datacenter proxies use IP addresses assigned from datacenter servers to route your traffic and access locations around the world. With a shorter journey and simplified architecture, datacenter proxies are both the fastest and most cost-effective proxy option.

## IP Rotation Behavior

Datacenter proxies provide a **static exit IP** — the same IP address is used for all connections throughout the lifetime of the proxy. Every tab, request, and reconnection within a browser session exits through the same IP.

## Configuration

Datacenter proxies require a country to route traffic through:

ISP (Internet Service Provider) proxies combine the speed of datacenter proxies with better legitimacy, as they use IP addresses assigned by real ISPs.

## IP Rotation Behavior

ISP proxies provide a **static exit IP** — the same IP address is used for all connections throughout the lifetime of the proxy. Every tab, request, and reconnection within a browser session exits through the same IP. This makes ISP proxies ideal for session-based workflows, login flows, and any use case where a consistent IP is important.
