Residential proxies are IP addresses assigned to devices, such as home computers or smartphones, which are used to access the internet. These IP addresses are associated with a physical location and can be used to hide the user’s real IP address for various purposes.

Residential proxies with rotation refer to a system where the proxy IP address changes at set intervals to avoid detection and improve anonymity. This method is commonly used for web scraping, ad verification, and other data collection activities.

Residential proxies work by rerouting internet traffic through a device with a residential IP address. This makes it appear as if the traffic is coming from a real home or business, improving anonymity and allowing users to access content that may be restricted based on their location.

“Sticky” refers to the ability to use the same IP address for an extended period without being forced to rotate to a new IP address. We provide sticky residential proxies, where a single node can be used for up to 30 minutes before automatically rotating to a new IP addres.

Generally, rotating proxies are more suitable for intensive workloads because they switch connections from a pool of diverse IP addresses. The primary distinction between sticky and rotating proxies is that sticky proxies use one IP address per user request, whereas rotating proxies assign multiple IP addresses for each new request.
