Choose a Proxy Product
Use the workload pattern to choose the product. Do not start from price alone.
Decision Matrix
| Workload | Recommended product | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Public web scraping at scale | Dynamic Residential Proxy | Rotation and geo coverage matter more than long identity. |
| SEO rank tracking and SERP checks | Dynamic Residential Proxy | Localized residential exits reduce location mismatch. |
| Ad verification by region | Dynamic Residential Proxy or Static Residential Proxy - Traffic | Use dynamic for broad checks, static traffic for repeated audits from one stable identity. |
| Multi-account operations | Static Residential Proxy - Traffic | Accounts should not constantly jump between unrelated IP identities. |
| E-commerce store operations | Static Residential Proxy - Traffic | Store logins and admin sessions benefit from stable ISP identity. |
| Heavy long-running transfer | Static Residential Proxy - Bandwidth | More predictable for persistent sessions and high-volume workloads. |
Access Method Choice
Use username/password when the client IP is not fixed or when multiple team members and tools need portable credentials.
Use IP whitelist when the task runs from fixed servers and you want simpler client configuration without embedding passwords.
For high concurrency with username/password auth, assign separate session values per thread or process. Sharing one session across many workers can reduce rotation quality and make behavior harder to debug.
