Proxies for botting:
reliable aid to get over captchas and geo-imposed limitations without compromising your privacy
For businesses and individuals to make the best of proxies
Proxies for botting
- Work with different types of bots, including custom-built bots
- Support numerous apps and browsers
- Provide you with additional protection from security threats
- No additional hardware is necessary
Eschew IP bans with proxies
Bots work much faster than humans. They use your IP as you run them from your device. Whether you scrape websites or manage automated marketing tools, sites see that all the traffic comes from the same source and detect that as suspicious activity. Usually, your bots face captchas or total bans. In the end, you cannot complete tasks you use bots for.
When you add a proxy server between your bots and the extranet, traffic goes to the proxy first. A proxy then connects to the target source and forwards your request. Sites you try to reach see proxies’ IPs. You can set up your proxy server to distribute your requests between numerous addresses. Websites will receive traffic from different IPs and locations. It will look like real visitor behavior. It significantly increases your chances of avoiding captchas and bans while implementing bots. You get all the data you need.
Use proxies to get over geo-limitations
Your IP reveals your location. If a source imposes any geo-limitations, your bots cannot overcome them. You cannot get the necessary data or complete your tasks.
When you employ a proxy server, the target server sees the proxy’s address and location. You can use proxies from whitelisted areas, so your bots will be able to visit all the necessary sources. You will cope with your tasks without facing the “The site is impossible to reach from your location” warning.
Proxies to guard your security
Bots themselves don’t protect you from security threats. Hackers may still get to know your IP and start a DDoS attack, or penetrate your internal network. If you use crawlers, they may visit suspicious websites that spread viruses.
Proxies keep your IP hidden. As hackers don’t know your real address, they can’t figure out more details about you, such as your location. It’s hard to launch an attack without knowing anything. Also, a proxy server can work as a filter. You can block certain types of traffic based on strings of text, lines of code, or objects within images. Proxies won’t let potentially harmful stuff into your internal network.
Say goodbye to latency with proxies
There are time-consuming tasks, like data gathering, that you need to do faster. It’s complicated because your bots need time to deal with copious amounts of data. Technical issues may be one more reason for the latency. For example, your provider may have slow DNS servers. Your IP may belong to an autonomous system with speed problems. You waste time, do things too slowly, and risk not meeting your clients’ needs.
Proxies allow you to use connection threads. You divide the load equally between numerous IPs. It takes you much less time to finish your chores. Also, you use the proxy’s DNS server and not one of your provider. You can also exclude autonomous systems that have speed issues. You have a high-speed connection, and botting becomes fruitful.
Authentic residential IPs
Two protocols to meet your needs
Questions
Why choose residential proxies for botting, not datacenter proxies or mobile proxies?
Residential IPs are addresses of people’s devices. Internet service providers assign them. Such IPs don’t alter anti-bot systems, as websites detect them as real users. You significantly lower the risk of seeing captchas or getting banned. Datacenter proxies are much easier to detect, as they often belong to the same subnet and have a limited range of IPs. Sometimes websites may even block them in advance. Mobile proxies are good for botting; however, they are more expensive than residential. That’s why residential proxies are an optimal choice regarding their features and price.
Free proxies—why not?
There are several disadvantages to using free proxies. Websites often block them beforehand, so you cannot visit any web source. Scammers use free proxies to send spam and conduct other illegal activities. If you use such addresses, you may risk your reputation. Also, you don’t know who manages such servers and whether they protect your data. With all of that, a free proxy server is a risky choice that may get you into trouble. Finding a reliable proxy provider like DataImpulse is the best.
How to choose the right protocol?
The choice of protocol depends on your needs and the type of bots you use. There is no better or worse protocol. There is a suitable protocol for every use case. It’s better to have both—the HTTPS protocol and the SOCKS protocol—available and switch between them when you have to.
