Service eligibility and regional restrictions

PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.

Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.

Key Takeaways

  • Rotating proxies suit batch tasks, short cycles and work that needs changing exits.
  • Static residential proxies are better suited to account sign-in, dashboard maintenance and fixed-region access.
  • Do not combine short-term checking tasks and long-term account tasks under the same proxy rules.

Step 1: Consider the task’s time horizon

Rotating proxies change their exit and suit short-cycle tasks such as checking public pages, monitoring prices and making batch requests. Their strength is variation, not a long-term fixed exit.

These tasks generally do not need to maintain one account environment over time. They may instead need several exits to spread access load.

Step 2: Prioritize stability for long-term accounts

Static residential proxies are better suited to a fixed region, long-term sign-in, account maintenance and standardized team setup. They address network-exit continuity and stable tool connectivity.

Simply opening a page or running a temporary test can use a lighter approach. Long-term account maintenance calls for greater care.

Step 3: Separate proxy pools by business use

Manage long-term accounts, public-page checks and team tests separately. Give long-term accounts fixed proxies and use more flexible, changing arrangements for short-term checks.

PuppyIP provides static residential proxies for account maintenance, fixed-region network environments and tool configuration. To find the entry point, visit the PuppyIP website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are static or rotating proxies better?

Neither is universally better. Static proxies are more suitable for long-term accounts; rotating proxies are more suitable for batch tasks involving public pages.

Can a long-term account occasionally change proxies?

Yes, but frequent changes are not recommended. Record the reason, time and new region before switching so later troubleshooting has a clear history.
