If the proxy server is configured accurately, it\u2019s possible to rotate IP addresses from a proxy pool of IPs. With rotating residential proxies, you can manage multiple connections from a single device.<\/p>\n<p>To further explain the concept of rotating residential proxies, we need to define what residential proxies are. And to explain residential proxies, you first need to know what a proxy actually is. So, without further ado, let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Proxy Network?<\/h2>\n<p>So, according to <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/proxy\">Merriam Webster<\/a><\/u>, proxy servers are computer devices that facilitate the exchange of data between clients on a network. People would typically use a proxy server for better security (i.e., forwarding requests across a firewall).<\/p>\n<p>A proxy acts as a point of transition between your PC or local network and larger-scale networks (i.e., the internet itself). You could use it for various purposes, such as enhancing performance and security on one hand while monitoring your online activities on the other.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Residential Proxies?<\/h2>\n<p>Residential proxies are addresses provided by the <u><a href=\"https:\/\/whatismyipaddress.com\/isp\">Internet Service Provider (ISP)<\/a><\/u>. They use residential IP addresses and are used by most of the legitimate proxy users.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what we mean by \u201clegitimate proxy users\u201d is the fact that residential proxy users don\u2019t want to hide their online identity per se, but rather to tackle the problems they come across due to their IP and successfully get access to their desired site.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to trick the servers to get the information you want despite the fact that your actual IP address is being blocked, you\u2019ll need to change your IP every now and then. And for this, you\u2019ll need a residential proxy network.<\/p>\n<p>A top-notch residential proxy will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce the odds of you getting banned or blacklisted by your target site<\/li>\n<li>Be more legitimate than something like a data-center proxy<\/li>\n<li>Make your web browsing extremely reliable<\/li>\n<li>Enhance your privacy, safety, and security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are Rotating Residential Proxies?<\/h2>\n<p>Rotating residential proxies perform IP address rotation to allow users to hide their IP just like <u><a href=\"https:\/\/privacy.net\/what-is-tor\/\">TOR<\/a><\/u>, meaning each request made will pass through a random IP address.<\/p>\n<p>You can also achieve IP rotation by rotating proxies at random or regular intervals. The main advantage of this approach is you can implement it using cheaper proxies and data-center proxies. Rotating residential proxies are implemented as anonymous proxies that hide your real IP completely.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, check out <u><a href=\"https:\/\/oxylabs.io\/blog\/rotate-ip-address\">Oxylabs\u2019<\/a><\/u> blog post about IP rotation fundamentals that include a beneficial interview with their tech guy, sharing essential know-how on proxy rotation.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Should a Business Use Rotating Residential Proxies?<\/h2>\n<p>Residential proxy peers, along with built-in rotation, represent the most advanced tech in the proxy realm. Here\u2019s why rotating proxies are more future-proof:<\/p>\n<h3>#1: Lifts Limits on Sending SOCKS or HTTP Requests<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, businesses using proxy servers demand several requests per minute. After a while, the service or website you are sending requests to will block your IP. In business applications, bans, blocks, and redirects can considerably affect efficiency and profits. With a rotating proxy, businesses can monitor and access the web without being banned or blocked.<\/p>\n<h3>#2: An Evergreen IP Address<\/h3>\n<p>Rotating proxies ensure the connection is unbannable virtually. When your IP is continuously refreshing, bans or redirects linked with excessive requests can easily be avoided. This gives your research or application the ability to scale higher than you otherwise could using a set of static proxies.<\/p>\n<h3>#3: Undetectable<\/h3>\n<p>Residential proxies are often called reverse or backconnect proxies that retrieve data from servers, then return it to the client without servers knowing a proxy was used, and thereby making rotating residential proxies completely undetectable.<\/p>\n<h3>#4: Highly Secure<\/h3>\n<p>After a fixed proxy rotation interval, a large pool of IPs can rotate via proxy gateways. For instance, a pool of IPs can be as big as hundreds, thousands, or even millions. And with so many IPs, the risk of attacks or any kind of session monitoring is decreased significantly. This is why rotating residential proxies are highly secure.<\/p>\n<h3>#5: A Self-managing Proxy Replacement<\/h3>\n<p>The built-in proxy rotation is replacing proxy IPs regularly, and therefore, the time it takes to replace blocked proxies is eliminated. This saves your business plenty of time and overhead, which is normally spent on monitoring proxies. Having a data-center proxy in 2019 is just not enough to make several requests to a site without being restricted. Also, many data-center proxy providers tend to block major sites, thereby limiting your business capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p>Rotating residential proxies offer the trade-off of connection speed, and with server-side and website proxy detection becoming more popular and advanced every day, it is safe to say that rotating proxies are the right choice for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Did you find this article helpful?<\/p>\n<p>Are you using a rotating residential proxy for your business?<\/p>\n<p>Share your thoughts and suggestions with us in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rotating residential proxies is a service that would change your IP every few minutes or so.
