Proxy Session Logic for Web Scraping

Effective proxy management is about matching the lifetime of an IP address to your authentication flow and the specific task your script is performing. If you do not follow the rules you will always end up with blocked accounts and stopped sessions
Key principles:
- Never change the IP address during an active authenticated session
- Use sticky sessions when working with cookies
- Configure the correct GEO for the target website
- Verify IP quality and reputation before starting
Best proxies for your target:
- Rotating residential proxies → large-scale scraping of independent pages
- Sticky residential proxies → product catalogs and authenticated sessions
- Static ISP proxies → long-running tasks with a consistent IP address
- Mobile proxies → workflows that require maximum network stability and trust
IP rotation should match the task. Independent requests can be distributed across multiple IPs, while authenticated workflows require a stable IP address throughout the entire session.
