Rotating Proxies: A New Home IP on Every Request

Point your scraper or browser at one gateway and every request leaves from a different home IP. Add a session ID when you need the same IP for up to 24 hours.

Rotating proxy pricing per GB

Pay once per gigabyte. Every package below never expires, and the price per GB falls as the package grows.

How IP rotation works

You connect to one gateway address with one username and password. Behind it, each new request is sent through a different home IP from the pool for the country you asked for. Nothing on your side has to manage a list of addresses, retire blocked ones or reconnect: the rotation happens at the gateway.

Because the IPs belong to consumer internet providers, a site sees what looks like separate home visitors, each making a request or two. That is what keeps large crawls, price checks and search tracking from tripping rate limits that a single address, or a block of datacenter addresses, would hit quickly.

shell
# A new home IP on every request (HTTP, port 9000)
curl -x http://gw.nefo.net:9000 \
  -U "USERNAME-country-us:PASSWORD" \
  https://api.ipify.org

Rotating vs sticky sessions

Rotation suits work where every request stands on its own. When a task spans several requests that must come from the same visitor, such as a login, a cart or a multi-page form, add a session ID and a lifetime to the username and the gateway keeps that IP for the time you set, from 1 minute up to 24 hours. See sticky session proxies and the rotating vs sticky comparison.

Both modes draw on the same balance, so a scraper on rotating lines and an account session on a sticky line can run side by side.

bash
# The same IP for 30 minutes (HTTP sticky, port 10000)
curl -x http://gw.nefo.net:10000 \
  -U "USERNAME-country-us-session-a1b2c3d4-lifetime-30:PASSWORD" \
  https://api.ipify.org

Rotate IPs by country, city or ISP

Add the target to the username: a country, a state or region, a city, or an ISP by its ASN. The catalogue holds 22,417 cities and 14,252 ISPs in 227 countries and territories, and the proxy generator in the dashboard builds the username for you.

  • Country: USERNAME-country-us
  • State and city: USERNAME-country-us-state-california-city-losangeles
  • City and ISP: USERNAME-country-us-city-chicago-asn-7922
  • Sticky for 30 minutes: USERNAME-country-us-session-a1b2c3d4-lifetime-30

Ports and protocols: HTTP, SOCKS5 and UDP

HTTP and HTTPS use port 9000 for rotating and 10000 for sticky; SOCKS5 uses 11000 for rotating and 12000 for sticky, and Pool 1 also carries UDP over SOCKS5. The global gateway answers from the region nearest to you, and you can pin a region instead if you need a fixed path.

shell
import requests

# Rotating: every request leaves from a different home IP
proxy = "http://USERNAME-country-de-city-berlin:[email protected]:9000"
for _ in range(3):
    print(requests.get("https://api.ipify.org", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}).text)

Three IP pools behind one gateway

Rotating residential traffic can run on Pool 1, Pool 2 or Pool 3, three separate sources of home IPs that overlap in most countries and differ in strength from market to market. Mix spreads requests across them and skips any pool with no IPs in the country you asked for. Every pool draws on the same balance.

What rotating proxies are used for

  • Price, stock and availability monitoring across regions
  • Search engine results and rank tracking by location
  • Ad verification and affiliate link checks from the target market
  • Collecting public web data at volume within each site's terms
  • QA of localized sites and apps from many locations

Cheap rotating proxies without a monthly plan

Rotating proxies are billed by the gigabyte you use, not by the month, and the gigabytes you buy never expire. Start with 5 GB for $4.50; every larger package costs less per GB, down to $0.53/GB, and contracts above 10 TB start at $0.30/GB.

If the target sites accept datacenter traffic, rotating datacenter proxies cost less again, $0.29/GB at 10 TB, on the same gateway and API. For carrier IPs, rotating 4G/5G mobile proxies start at $3.90/GB. Compare every product on the pricing page.
