# Static vs Rotating proxies

### Static proxies

Static proxies use a fixed IP address that remains the same over time.

They are recommended for long-term account management where a stable login location is required.

### Sticky proxies

Sticky proxies maintain the same IP address for a limited session period (usually 10–30 minutes) before rotating.

They are useful when short-term session consistency is needed, also good for account management.

### Rotating proxies

Rotating proxies automatically assign a new IP address from a proxy pool.

Rotation may occur:

* on every request
* after a session ends
* after a set time interval

They are typically used for high-volume scraping or data collection. They generally can be used for account management if they keep the same IP during the session.

### Which type for which platform?

| Platform | Recommended proxy type | Why |
| - | - | - |
| LinkedIn | Static residential or mobile | IP changes trigger immediate security review |
| Facebook / Meta Ads | Static residential or sticky | Geo-consistency required for ad accounts |
| Amazon / eBay / Etsy | Static ISP | Rotating IPs link accounts and trigger bans |
| TikTok (new accounts) | Mobile | Mobile IPs have highest trust for account creation |
| Web scraping | Rotating residential or datacenter | Speed and volume matter more than consistency |
| Betting platforms | Mobile | Highest trust level, platforms are aggressive against desktop fingerprints |

> [!WARNING]
>
> Using rotating proxies for Amazon seller accounts is a common mistake that leads to account bans. Amazon links accounts by IP - if your IP rotates, multiple accounts may be flagged as connected.
