Heads up if your rotation looks broken - 90% of "the proxy isn't rotating!" issues we see are actually HTTP keep-alive on the client side.
If your scraper opens a persistent HTTP/1.1 connection and sends 100 requests through it, the proxy assigns ONE IP for that tunnel and reuses it. Doesn't...

We've actually built a side-by-side cost...
