A rotating proxy is a proxy server that assigns a different IP address from its pool for every connection or at fixed time intervals, so a thousand requests can look like a thousand different visitors. Ours rotate across 80M+ residential IPs, datacenter subnets, 4G/5G mobile carriers and massive IPv6 ranges — with rotation included on every plan.
Instead of giving you one fixed IP address, a rotating proxy hands you a gateway. Each request you send through the gateway is assigned an exit IP from a large pool — per request, or per time window. To the target website, your traffic arrives as many independent visitors from different networks and cities rather than one machine hammering it. That is what makes rotation the default tool for web scraping, price monitoring and any workload where volume from a single IP would trigger rate limits or bans.
Rotating sessions change the IP on every request — best for stateless work like crawling product pages or SERPs. Sticky sessions keep the same IP for a defined window (up to 120 minutes on residential, 60 on mobile) — the right choice for logins, carts and multi-step flows that would break if the address changed mid-session. Static IPs never change at all: that is the ISP proxy product, where a dedicated address stays yours for months. All three are configured from the same dashboard; you don't buy separate products for rotating and sticky.
Residential rotation draws from 80M+ real home IPs in 200+ countries with city-level targeting — the workhorse for protected targets. Datacenter rotation spreads requests across multiple /24 subnets at $0.50/GB, ideal when you need raw throughput. Mobile rotation surfaces each session on a different 4G/5G carrier IP, the highest-trust option for social platforms. IPv6 rotation cycles through practically unlimited addresses from $0.20/GB for bulk work on IPv6-ready sites. Same gateway pattern, same credentials format, four price points.
You connect to one stable hostname and port with your username and password; the gateway does the rest. Rotation mode is controlled from the dashboard or via session parameters — per-request rotation for crawlers, timed sticky sessions for flows. There is no proxy list to download and refresh: the pool updates continuously behind the gateway, dead IPs are pruned automatically, and unlimited concurrent connections mean your scraper's parallelism is the only ceiling.
Rotation is the wrong tool for long-lived identities. If you are managing a storefront, a social account or any login the platform expects to see from a consistent address, a rotating exit will look suspicious rather than natural — that workload belongs on a dedicated ISP proxy with a static residential IP. A good setup usually combines both: static IPs for the accounts, rotating pools for the data collection.
Every proxy type trades off trust, speed and cost differently. Here is how our five networks compare, so you can match the proxy type to the job.
| Proxy type | IP source | Best for | Detection risk | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | Real home ISP connections | Web scraping, ad verification, geo-restricted content | Very low | From $2.50/GB |
| Residential Basic | Same residential pool, budget routing | Light scraping, SEO tools, price monitoring | Low | From $0.80/GB |
| Datacenter | Cloud and datacenter servers | High-volume scraping of low-protection targets | Moderate | From $0.50/GB |
| ISP (static residential) | ISP-registered IPs on datacenter lines | Account management, long sessions, sneaker drops | Very low | From $2.50/IP |
| Mobile | Real 4G/5G carrier networks | Social media, app testing, the toughest targets | Lowest | From $2.50/GB |
| IPv6 | Massive IPv6 subnets | Bulk operations on IPv6-ready websites | Low on supported sites | From $0.20/GB |
All plans include HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 support, username:password or IP-whitelist authentication, and the same dashboard and REST API.
A proxy that assigns a new IP address from its pool for each connection or time interval. Your requests exit from many different addresses, so target sites see independent visitors instead of one high-volume client.
You choose: per-request rotation gives every single request a fresh IP, while sticky sessions hold one IP for a set window — up to 120 minutes on residential and 60 minutes on mobile — before rotating.
Another name for how rotating proxies are delivered: you connect to one stable gateway address, and the provider swaps the exit IPs behind it. You never manage IP lists — the gateway does.
No. Rotation and sticky sessions are included in every plan at the same per-GB price — residential from $2.50/GB (Basic from $0.80/GB), datacenter from $0.50/GB, IPv6 from $0.20/GB.
Yes — use sticky sessions for continuity within a task, or a dedicated ISP proxy when an identity must keep one static residential IP permanently. Both are managed from the same dashboard as the rotating pools.
Start with rotating residential for protected targets — 80M+ IPs absorb aggressive request rates. Move volume to rotating datacenter or IPv6 pools when the target tolerates them, and keep mobile rotation for the hardest social platforms.
Rotating proxies turn IP diversity into an on/off switch: one endpoint, millions of exits, sticky sessions when you need them and static ISP IPs when you don't want rotation at all. Pick a network, generate your gateway credentials, and your scraper is rotating in minutes.
