  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is my IP address not changing?" defaultOpen={false}>
    * You may be using a Sticky Session proxy that keeps the same IP for a certain duration.

    * Check your connection using an IP verification tool: [Verify Proxy Connection](https://ip-api.com/)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why am I getting a CAPTCHA while browsing?" defaultOpen={false}>
    * Some websites detect **frequent IP changes** and show CAPTCHAs as a security measure.
    * Use Sticky Sessions if you need a stable connection.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My proxy is working, but the internet is slow. What should I do?" defaultOpen={false}>
    * High latency can occur if the proxy server is far from your location.
    * Try using a different proxy region to improve speed.
