Static Residential Proxies

Use Cases: Account management, geo-restricted content, and sites with strict anti-bot measures.
Pros: Looks like a real user, less likely to be blocked, no traffic or request limits.
Cons: More expensive than datacenter proxies.

Static Datacenter (DC) Proxies

Use Cases: Tasks that need a stable IP but don’t require high anonymity.
Pros: Affordable, reliable for basic tasks, no traffic or request limits.
Cons: Easier to detect and block than residential proxies.

Backconnect Rotating Residential Proxies

Use Cases: Large-scale data scraping, accessing sites with strict anti-bot rules.
Pros: Automatic IP rotation + residential IP authenticity for lower detection risk.
Cons: Most expensive but highly effective.

Backconnect Rotating Datacenter (DC) Proxies

Use Cases: High-speed scraping with frequent IP changes.
Pros: Cost-effective, avoids blocks by rotating IPs constantly.
Cons: Less effective against strict anti-bot measures than residential options.
