A rotating proxy automatically assigns a new IP address for each request (or at timed intervals), preventing target sites from detecting and blocking your traffic. All major residential proxy providers include automatic rotation — the difference is in granularity of control.
Per-request rotation: New IP for every HTTP request. Best for scraping where each request is independent.
Sticky sessions: Same IP maintained for a defined period (e.g. 10-30 minutes). Required for tasks that need session continuity like login flows or multi-step scraping.
