What is the difference between rotating proxy and sticky proxy?

Anna . 2024-10-15

Rotating proxy: frequently changing IP

A rotating proxy is a dynamic proxy that automatically changes the IP address of the user every time a request is made. Its main features include:

Hidden identity: By frequently changing IP, the rotating proxy can effectively avoid being identified and blocked by the website, improving privacy protection.

Efficient crawling: In data collection, the rotating proxy can use multiple IPs at the same time, thereby speeding up data crawling.

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for occasions that require a large number of requests, such as web crawling, automated testing, etc.

Sticky proxy: the flexibility of fixed IP

Unlike rotating proxy, sticky proxy maintains the same IP address for a period of time, usually a few minutes to a few hours. Its features include:

Stability: Sticky proxy can still execute multiple requests while maintaining the same IP for a certain period of time, ensuring a stable connection.

Authentication: For websites that require login or authentication, sticky proxies are more advantageous because they avoid the hassle of frequent logins.

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for applications that require continuous connection, such as online games, social media management, etc.


Main differences

IP change frequency

Rotating proxy: Change IP for each request, suitable for large-scale crawling.

Sticky proxy: Use the same IP for a period of time, suitable for operations that need to maintain sessions.

Applicable purpose

Rotating proxy: Mainly used for privacy protection and data crawling to avoid IP blocking.

Sticky proxy: Suitable for applications that require authentication or continuous sessions to ensure stable connections.

How to choose

Choosing the right proxy type depends on your specific needs:

Data collection: If you need to crawl a lot of data, rotating proxy may be the best choice.

Social media or games: If you need to maintain long-term sessions, sticky proxies are more suitable.
