➡️ Overview

Rayobyte’s Port-Based Rotating Proxies provide access to a large shared pool of IPs that automatically rotate at fixed intervals. Unlike our bandwidth-based Rotating Datacenter, Rotating ISP, or Residential Proxy services, this legacy-style rotating system uses static entry IPs with multiple ports, where each port provides a different outbound IP.

These proxies are ideal for users who need frequent IP changes without managing a large number of individual static proxies. Because the IPs are shared across multiple customers, this proxy type offers an affordable solution for broad testing, scraping, and general browsing.

➡️ How Port-Based Rotating Proxies Work

When you purchase a rotating proxy package, you receive one entry/tunnel IP along with multiple ports corresponding to your plan. Each port routes traffic through a different rotating IP from your assigned pool.

Example of a rotating proxy package:

108.46.12.64:1081  
108.46.12.64:1082  
108.46.12.64:1083  
108.46.12.64:1084  
108.46.12.64:1085

Think of the rotating proxy like a doorway:

  • ✔  You always enter through the same door (tunnel IP)

  • ✔  But each time you go through a different hallway (port)

  • ✔  You come out of a different exit (rotating IP)

That’s why, when testing the proxies, your browser shows a completely different IP—the rotating exit IP assigned to that port, not the tunnel IP you entered.

➡️ Benefits of Port-Based Rotating Proxies

  1. Automatic IP Rotation
    • ✔ IPs rotate automatically every 10–120 minutes depending on the configured interval.
    • ✔ Reduces repeated IP exposure during scraping or testing tasks.
  2. Large Shared IP Pool
    • ✔ 10 rotating ports = access to ~200 unique IPs.
    • ✔ 20 rotating ports = access to ~400 unique IPs and so on.
    • ✔ IP pools remain fixed for the duration of your billing cycle.
  3. Cost-Effective Alternative to Static Proxies
    • ✔ Great option for tasks that do not require a stable or exclusive IP identity.
  4. No Configuration Required for Rotation
    • ✔ Simply switch ports to access different IPs.
    • ✔ Rotation occurs automatically on schedule—no user action needed.

➡️ When to Choose Rotating Proxies

✔ Best For:

  • ✔ Web scraping on low-security websites
  • ✔ Price monitoring, SEO tools, basic automation
  • ✔ Large-volume testing requiring many IPs
  • ✔ General browsing requiring periodic IP changes

✔ Not Ideal For:

  • ❌ Social media account creation or login
  • ❌ E-commerce account management
  • ❌ Any identity-sensitive or long-term session tasks

If you need stable, long-term, or exclusive IP identity, consider upgrading to Dedicated or Static ISP services.

➡️ Understanding IP Pools

Your rotating proxy subscription provides access to a fixed pool of IPs for the entire billing period. If your subscription expires and you later renew, you will be assigned a new randomly generated pool. Because IPs are allocated randomly, we cannot guarantee that the new pool will be completely different from previous cycles.

➡️ Available Locations

Port-based rotating proxies are currently available in the following regions:

  • ✔ United States
  • ✔ Brazil
  • ✔ France
  • ✔ Germany

Additional locations may be added in the future based on availability and demand.
