Proxy Rotator Guides
Practical, step-by-step guides for getting the most out of Proxy Rotator. Whether you are connecting your first client to the gateway, setting up a rotating proxy from scratch, or wiring rotation into your own code, these tutorials walk you through it with real, copy-paste examples. Every guide uses the same gateway and the same unified plan, so what you learn on one page carries straight over to the next.

Where to start
If you are brand new, start with How to Use Proxy Rotator to create an account, find your gateway credentials, and make your first request. From there, How to Set Up a Rotating Proxy covers the full setup for rotating IP addresses on every request, and How to Rotate Your IP in Python shows the code. If you want the concepts first, read What Is a Rotating Proxy. Every guide assumes the same setup: one gateway at gateway.proxyrotator.com:8080 over HTTPS or SOCKS5, with all proxy types and both rotating and sticky modes included in one plan from $24.95/mo.
Step-by-step tutorials
Pick a guide and follow along. Each one is self-contained, with real commands and code you can copy straight into your own project.
How to use Proxy Rotator
From signup to your first rotated request. Create an account, grab your gateway host, port and credentials, and connect any client over HTTPS or SOCKS5.
How to set up a rotating proxy
Set up rotation the easy way with a managed gateway, or the hard way by managing IP lists yourself. Includes cURL, Python requests and Scrapy snippets.
What is a rotating proxy
The concept explained plainly: what rotation does, how a new IP per request helps, and when to rotate versus hold a sticky session.
How to rotate your IP in Python
Rotate your exit IP from Python with the requests library and beyond. Copy-paste code that gets a fresh address on every call.
Key pages to know
The guides reference these pages often. Here is where to find the product, the API, the free list, and pricing.
Rotating proxies
A new IP on every request from a large pool of residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 addresses. One gateway, no rotation code.
Rotating proxy API
Drop the gateway into any HTTP client or framework. The same endpoint handles authentication, rotation and protocol selection.
Free proxy list
A free list of public proxies to test with, and an honest look at why free proxies are not built for real, reliable jobs.
Pricing
One unified plan with every proxy type and both rotating and sticky modes at the same price, from $24.95/mo with metered bandwidth.
What every guide has in common
Across all of these tutorials the setup is identical, so the steps transfer cleanly from one guide to the next. You connect to a single gateway endpoint at gateway.proxyrotator.com:8080 and reach the whole pool through it over HTTPS or SOCKS5. Rotation, geo-targeting and proxy-type selection are configured in your dashboard rather than scattered across config files, so you point one client at one host and let the gateway do the routing. Authentication is either a username and password or an IP whitelist you set in the dashboard, and the same credentials work in cURL, Python, Scrapy, Selenium, Playwright and any other client that speaks standard proxy protocols. Because all proxy types and both rotating and sticky modes ship in one plan at the same price, nothing in these guides asks you to buy an add-on or switch providers to follow along. Plans start at $24.95/mo with metered bandwidth, and Proxy Rotator has run this gateway since 2014 for more than 62,000 businesses. Read a guide, copy the example, and you are sending live requests in minutes.
