What Rotating Residential Proxies do you offer ?
Shifter offers two main products of Rotating Residential Proxies:
- Special Rotating Residential Proxies
- Basic Rotating Residential Proxies
How do they work ?
Our rotating residential proxies work as gateways under the form of proxy ports.
Proxy ports connect to our entire pool and are randomly assigned a residential IP address from our pool.
Each proxy port gets a unique IP address every rotation (let’s say for example that you have a 5 ports plan, you will be able to access 5 new residential IPs every rotation time). The IP rotation time is set from the user Dashboard (and it’s handled automatically by our systems) and can be set ranging from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.
What is the difference between Basic and Special Rotating Residential Proxies ?
