How does shared proxy work?
In the case of a shared proxy, your request would be sent to the respective proxy server first, then to the intended website. The website does not ‘see’ your IP, but the IP of the proxy server. A shared proxy is designed to possess a large number of different IP addresses and alternates between them, in order to prevent websites from blocking the same IP due to excessive requestees.
In order to maintain efficient performance, the proxy server splits the bandwidth equally between all of the users. This ensures that no single user on the proxy is overburdened by the lone IP address, while offering a stable connection to the entire group.
To avoid abuse on their proxies which are shared among users, most providers will impose “soft” limits, i.e limits on the number of connections, volume of traffic, and the frequency of requests.
Advantages?
The main advantage of a shared proxy is its low price. It is a great option for those who are just starting out and want to try different tools without spending a lot of money. A shared proxy is also a good choice if you don’t need a permanent IP address.
- Low cost – shared proxies are significantly cheaper than private ones.
- Quick availability – connect immediately after payment.
- Support for major protocols (HTTP(S), SOCKS5).
- Ability to choose countries and cities.
Where to use a shared proxy?
Shared proxies can be used in many cases when you need to make many similar requests while masking your IP address. For example:
- Data parsing: Collecting information from websites. Shared proxies help you bypass IP address restrictions and avoid being blocked.
- Price monitoring and competitor analysis: Browse online stores without fear of being blocked as a bot.
- Automated account management: In the case where multiple accounts have to be controlled, shared proxies facilitate the automation of the accounts.
- Accessing content that is geographically restricted: Suppose a website is accessible only to users from a certain region. In that case, a shared proxy coupled with an IP offered in that region may be used to bypass this restriction.
