Rotating and Sticky Session Proxies
Rotation is the setting most buyers get wrong. A fresh IP on every request is right for crawling and wrong for anything behind a login, and a session you can hold for thirty minutes is the difference between a finished job and a captcha wall. This category grades providers whose product is that control: SOCKS5 pools where you pick and keep an individual IP, port-based gateways that rotate on a timer, and services built around session length. Networks sold by the gigabyte with no per-IP selection are graded under residential proxies. We look at how long sticky sessions really last, whether the rotation setting is respected, and how the pool is filtered.
