# Static vs. Rotating Proxies

## In this article, we will learn about static and dynamic servers and introduce you to their features, differences, and use cases.

A **proxy** (which translates as "intermediary", "representative") is a server that intercepts traffic and "mediates" between the user and the site. In this case, the user's data is hidden from the site. Proxy servers allow you to bypass any restrictions. They can have a **static** or **dynamic** IP address. In the following sections, you will learn the differences between them, their features, and how this can affect the work.

### Static Proxies

**Static proxies** involve issuing (receiving) unchangeable IP addresses that will be available to clients for the entire duration of their lease. These include:

- [Datacenter proxies](https://help.froxy.com/en/what-are-datacenter-proxies?hsLang=en)
- Dedicated residential proxies
- Dedicated mobile proxies

All dedicated residential and mobile proxies are quite expensive. But unlike proxy algorithms with rotation (where you mainly pay only for the traffic consumed), you can provide unlimited access to the network.

#### Static Proxies: Pros, Cons, and Use Cases

Like all types of proxies, **static proxies** have **advantages** and **disadvantages** and are also compatible with the same type of tasks.

| **Advantages** | **Disadvantages** |
| --- | --- |
| - Provides a constant IP address for all requests. - Reliable for long sessions or saving logins. - Ideal for cases requiring an inexpensive IP. - Easier to exploit network issues. | - Easier to block websites or firewalls. - Less anonymity due to multiple IP uses. - Not suitable for large-scale data collection. - Prone to blocking IP addresses if suspicious activity is noted. |

Use cases for static proxies:

- Managing social media accounts (the same IP ensures account stability).
- Accessing regionally restricted content that requires a constant IP.
- Running managed bots or scripts that require session persistence.
- Continuously retrieving applications or services from a specific location.

### Rotating Proxies

**Rotating proxies** are proxy servers whose addresses can change/rotate according to various algorithms (by time, by request type, by network user, when a node is disconnected, etc.) to reduce the risk of blocking. These include:

- [Residential proxies](https://help.froxy.com/en/what-are-residential-proxies?hsLang=en)
- [Mobile proxies](https://help.froxy.com/en/what-are-mobile-proxies?hsLang=en)
- BackConnect proxies (proxies with feedback)

Proxies are based on server IPs (with corporate IP addresses).

#### Rotating Proxies: Pros and Cons, Use Cases

This section describes the **advantages** and **disadvantages** and use cases for **rotating proxies**.

| **Advantages** | **Disadvantages** |
| --- | --- |
| - Frequently changes IP addresses during detection. - Adaptation for large-scale data collection tasks on the Internet. - Reduces the risk of blocking IP addresses due to cyclic switching of addresses. - Improves anonymity and bypasses restrictions. | - Higher cost compared to static proxy servers. - More invested in setup and management. - Maybe an additional session for some applications. - A non-persistent IP address can disrupt login-related activities. |

Use cases for rotating proxies:

- Web scraping or scanning large amounts of data from multiple websites.
- Bypassing region-specific measures with bots and IP-based mitigations.
- Conducting SEO research to collect keyword rankings or search results data.
- Dynamic access to region-specific content without manually switching IP addresses.
