IP Rotation is the process of automatically changing your IP address at regular intervals so that the same IP isn’t used for too long.

This makes your activity appear more natural, reduces tracking, and helps prevent bans or CAPTCHAs when accessing websites or APIs frequently.

Why It Matters

• Reduces the risk of IP bans and temporary blocks

• Distributes requests across multiple IPs

• Improves success rates for web scraping, SEO, and automation

• Enhances privacy and anonymity

Whether you’re managing marketing campaigns, running bots, or collecting global datasets, IP rotation ensures stability, scalability, and safety for your connections.

Rotation Frequency

Rotation frequency defines how often your IP changes. There are three main types:

• Per Request Rotation

A new IP is assigned for every single request.

Best for: high-frequency scraping and automation tasks that require maximum anonymity.

• Time-Based Rotation

IPs change after a specific interval (e.g., every 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 10 minutes).

Best for: most marketing tools, SEO analysis, and research pipelines.

• Per Session Rotation

Each session uses one IP that only changes when a new session begins.

Best for: sites that need stable sessions (like logins or transactions).

IP Pools — The Backbone of Proxy Stability

An IP pool refers to the total number of available IPs a provider can offer.

The larger the pool, the lower the chance of using the same IP twice — reducing the risk of detection, rate limits, or bans.

At ColdProxy, our infrastructure includes millions of clean, high-anonymity IPs sourced ethically across 195+ countries, covering both residential and datacenter networks.

This enormous global IP pool ensures:

• Wider geographic targeting

• Higher reliability and rotation success

• Minimal block rates even during intensive tasks

Simply put, more IPs = more stability, speed, and anonymity.

How IP Rotation Prevents Blocks

Smart IP rotation helps you stay undetected by:

• Spreading requests across multiple IPs

• Reducing rate-limit triggers

• Minimizing CAPTCHAs and access errors

• Mimicking normal, distributed user behaviour

With properly configured IP rotation, even large-scale scraping or automation pipelines can run smoothly 24/7.

ColdProxy Advantage: Rotating & Sticky Sessions

At ColdProxy, you can choose between:

• Rotating Sessions for constantly changing IPs and maximum anonymity.

• Sticky Sessions for long-lived, stable connections when consistency is key (such as e-commerce, account management, or ticketing).

They’re not the same!

• Rotating IPs = change frequently to avoid detection.

• Sticky IPs = remain the same for a set duration to maintain a stable identity online.

This dual setup lets users balance speed, privacy, and stability—customizing their experience based on project needs.
