Frequently asked questions
What are rotating proxies?
Rotating proxies are residential proxies that automatically change IP addresses. These settings can be customized by having them rotate upon every HTTP request, at set time intervals, or through other options. Sometimes they may be named as rotating residential proxies – these are identical products.
When do you need a rotating proxy?
A rotating proxy is best utilized when a permanent identity is not required and when block rates are high. Since you change IPs frequently, websites like social media networks can issue bans just for that reason. For regular websites, however, you want to rotate proxies frequently as that will minimize CAPTCHAs and access restrictions. As such, rotating residential proxies are best for use cases such as web scraping.
Static proxies are best whenever you need a permanent identity such as for social media management.
Are rotating proxies legal?
Yes, all proxies are legal by themselves. Legality depends on your use case instead of proxies themselves. Additionally, your use case will also be subject to various Terms of Service restrictions that can be in place on a website.
What is the difference between sticky and rotating IP addresses?
Sticky sessions maintain a single IP address for a set amount of time. Rotating IPs will change frequently, depending on your settings. You may also receive a rotating proxy list, which will outline every proxy server the pool will run through.
Do you offer rotating datacenter proxies?
No. IPRoyal does not offer datacenter proxies with automated rotation options.
