Rotating Proxy
What is a rotating proxy?
A rotating proxy is an IP address that dynamically changes at specified intervals. It provides users with a rotating set of IPs, enhancing anonymity and overcoming access restrictions, making it ideal for web scraping, data mining, and other online tasks.
How does a rotating proxy work?
A rotating proxy operates by cycling through a pool of IP addresses at predefined intervals. Here's how it works:
- IP rotation. Switch between different IP addresses from its pool.
- Anonymity Enhancement. Enhance user anonymity, making it challenging for websites to track and identify users.
- Access Overcoming Restrictions. Overcome access restrictions and anti-scraping measures by presenting a variety of IPs.
- Optimized Performance. Ensure optimized performance by mitigating IP-based restrictions for web scraping or data mining tasks.
