Sticky vs Rotating proxies: which one do I need?

Rotating proxies

IP changes on every new connection. Use for:

• Web scraping where each request should come from a fresh IP

• High-volume tasks that need a large pool

• Preventing a single IP from making too many requests to one site

Ports for rotating:

HTTP: gw.dataimpulse.com:823

SOCKS5: gw.dataimpulse.com:824

Sticky proxies

One IP is held for a set duration. Use for:

• Login flows and session-based websites (cart, auth)

• Social media account management

• Any task requiring consistent user identity

Ports for sticky: 10,000–20,000

Using both at once

You can use both modes with the same plan:

• Port 823 → rotating (IP changes each request)

• Ports 10,000–20,000 → sticky (IP is held)
