What is a private proxy

What is a private proxy

The main reasoning behind this is that a shared proxy (or proxy subnet) means that other companies are using the same addresses for similar activities (price comparison, competitor ad analysis, target audience social sentiment etc). This means that by the time your company tries to collect data from these target websites, the proxy being used may already be ‘compromised’ and, on the ‘red list’ .To get more news about geo proxies, you can visit pyproxy.com official website.

What are the possible outcomes for red-listed IPs?
When an IP is identified by a target site as not belonging to a real user, it may be served inaccurate data, such as the wrong real-time pricing being displayed to users. Otherwise, the site can divert data collection efforts in other ways, including:

Rate limitations: When a suspect amount of data retrieval requests are submitted to a target site, that digital entity may start displaying CAPTCHAs or error messages that require human intervention. This ‘turning point’ can be 9 requests or 9,000,000 requests – the threshold is determined on an individual domain-by-domain basis.
Geolocation-based blocks: Many target sites act differently based on the country or even city where the requesting IP is located. Many companies have versatile geolocation needs meaning they may need to target multiple domains in different GEOs. Very often, shared IPs are in one location (say, Germany). In this case scenario, companies may prefer to opt for a private proxy of the Rotating Residential variety.
How ‘private proxies’ measure up against ‘shared proxies’
Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. Here is an easy breakdown to help you navigate a decision that is right for your business.

Shared proxies
Go ahead and choose the shared proxy option if you are looking to target sites with simple architectures and are on a tight budget. Some of the best shared proxies can be ‘leased’ for a very fair market rate. This is the case as it is a tool that has been adapted for the sharing economy, meaning multiple companies share the cost of leasing and operating the servers/networks necessary for these IPs to function properly as data collection tools.
