A freelance developer I hired for a side project recommended I use a static proxy. I needed extremely sticky IPs for a long-term e-commerce price monitoring job. Standard rotating proxies kept losing my session cookies, which meant I had to log into the target sites repeatedly. The promise of session persistence over a dedicated residential IP interested me immediately. I set up my scrapers to stick to a few specific USA addresses. I am thoroughly satisfied because my scripts ran continuously for three weeks without a single dropped session. It saved me a massive amount of processing power and time, making the whole data collection process smooth.
