What exactly is a backconnect entry proxy, and how does it differ from the more common proxies in the traditional host:port (22.22.22.22:3333) format?
What is a Backconnect Entry Proxy?
A backconnect entry proxy is a type of proxy server that dynamically routes your requests through a rotating pool of IP addresses. When you use a backconnect proxy, you connect to a single entry point (a single host
pair). However, instead of using just one IP address for your requests, the proxy server routes each request through a different IP from its pool, which can consist of thousands of IPs from various locations worldwide.
How Does a Backconnect Entry Proxy Work?
When a request is made via a backconnect proxy, the following happens:
Single Entry Point: You connect to a single proxy address (e.g. our gateway,
gw.thunderproxy.net:5959).IP Rotation: The proxy server automatically assigns a different IP address from its pool for each request or stick with the same address for a while.
Connection to website: Your traffic is routed through different IP addresses, making it difficult for websites to detect and block your activity based on IP.
And also...
✔️ It is ideal for tasks requiring large-scale operations like web scraping, where IP rotation helps avoid bans and captchas
✔️ It simplifies management since you only need to configure one entry point, while the backend handles IP rotation.
