Backconnect proxy: one gateway, the IP rotates behind it
A backconnect rotating proxy hands you one host and one port. You connect to it and the gateway picks the exit IP — a fresh one per request, or the same one held for the length of a session. There is no raw IP list to look at, no hundred-line block to paste into a config, no key to rotate when an exit gets burned. The endpoint stays put; the IP behind it is what moves.
One entrypoint, the rotation happens behind it
A plain proxy list hands you N addresses and leaves the rotation to you. A backconnect setup flips that: everything points at one host and the rotation happens server-side.
How a backconnect gateway works
A plain proxy list hands you N addresses and leaves the rotation to you. A backconnect setup flips that: everything points at one entrypoint, and the rotation happens server-side. Behind that single host is a live pool of real mobile IPs. Open a connection and the gateway assigns an exit; open the next one and it can hand you a different one. Your code never notices — it talks to the same address every time.
Why one endpoint beats a thousand IPs
Raw IP lists are quiet operational debt. Addresses go stale, hit rate limits, or drop off the carrier, and somebody has to keep pruning them. With a backconnect rotating proxy that upkeep is ours: dead IPs cycle out, fresh ones cycle in, and your app keeps hitting the same gateway with the same credentials. One integration point instead of a list to babysit — that is why teams running automation at scale lean on backconnect rather than a folder of throwaway scripts.
Rotation modes on the same gateway
The same backconnect endpoint covers both jobs. Send traffic with a rotate-per-request flag and every call exits a new IP — what you want for crawlers and high-volume work. Add a session token and the gateway pins one IP for the TTL you choose, so multi-step logins and cart flows stay on a steady exit. The choice is yours per request, not locked to the account.
Drop it into any client
Since it is only a host and port, a backconnect proxy works with anything that speaks HTTP or SOCKS5 — curl, Python requests, Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, or whatever you have built in-house. One line of config and rotation is on. No SDK, no rewrite.
Built to replace a proxy list
Single entrypoint
One host and one port for the whole pool — no IP list to paste, no block to maintain in your config.
Server-side rotation
Dead exits cycle out and fresh ones cycle in behind the gateway; your credentials never change.
Per-request or per-TTL
Flag a call to rotate every request, or attach a session token to pin one IP for a chosen TTL.
Protocol-native
Works with anything speaking HTTP or SOCKS5 — curl, requests, Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer.
