For those that do not know, a proxy acts as an intermediary between your computer and websites by helping you route your request to websites and presenting its own IP Address while keeping your own hidden. Usually, a proxy has only one IP Address attached to it, and if you pay for 10 proxies, you get 10 IP Addresses. But a proxy pool is different.<\/p>\n<p>A proxy pool is a managed group of proxies usually in large numbers that have a system in place that controls the quality of the proxies and decide the IPs to be included in the set proxies assigned to a particular user. No matter how large the number of proxies in a proxy pool is, a proxy pool usually has one entry point accessible to users of the pool.<\/p>\n<p>However, depending on how the pool is segmented, the entry points can be more than one. When you connect to the proxy pool using the entry point, the system decides which IP Address in the pool will your request to be routed through.<\/p>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4154 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool.png.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-300x126.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-768x323.png.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20421'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20421'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Proxy Pool\" width=\"1000\" height=\"421\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool.png 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-768x323.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4154\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool.png.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-300x126.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-768x323.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool.png\" alt=\"Proxy Pool\" width=\"1000\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool.png 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Proxy-Pool-768x323.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Depending on some factors such as location, and session control system in place, a proxy pool might have more than one entry point. While individual proxies are represented by their IP Address such as,<\/p>\n<pre>123.52.14.244:8080<\/pre>\n<p>a proxy pool is usually in a domain format such as<\/p>\n<pre>thatcoolproxypool.com:8080<\/pre>\n<p>This is so because you can\u2019t tell for sure this is the proxy\/IP your request will be routed through as the pool system decides that.<\/p>\n<p>One very important aspect of a proxy pool is that it comes equipped with an IP rotation mechanism. If you are making use of a proxy pool and you send 10 web requests, each of these 10 requests will be routed through different IPs even though you\u2019re making use of the same entry point \u2013 thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/rotating-proxies-api-with-curl\/\">IP rotation system<\/a>. Depending on the IP rotation system, a proxy pool implements, rotation can be after <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/ip-randomizer\/\">every session<\/a> or a specified period of time, or both.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"why-use-a-proxy-pool\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_a_Proxy_Pool\"><\/span><strong>Why Use a Proxy Pool?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are just a regular Internet user trying to <strong>mask your IP Address<\/strong> but not trying to break any request limit, making use of a proxy pool might be an overkill for you. However, if you are making use of automation tools such as web scrapers, you will find yourself needing many proxies to use in other to exceed action limits and <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/scrape-a-website-and-never-get-blacklisted\/\">prevent blocks and bans<\/a>. If you find yourself needing to working with a reasonable number of proxies in a project, it is time to ditch using individual proxies and embrace proxy pools.<\/p>\n<p>This is because, with a proxy pool, you will be dealing with only one entry point as opposed to individual proxies that each has its own entry point. This means that regardless of whether your project requires 10 proxies or 10,000 proxies, you will be dealing with only one proxy entry point while the proxy pool system decides the IPs each of your requests will be routed through.<\/p>\n<p>Proxy pools take over the burden of managing proxies from you. It also takes care of IP rotation. Some proxy pools also clean themselves as they are actively checking for bad IPs in the pool to remove. This makes them better for projects that require a large set of proxies to work successfully.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"types-of-proxy-pools\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Proxy_Pools\"><\/span><strong>Types of Proxy Pools<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Proxy pools manage a collection of proxies and their associated IP Addresses. The type of proxies in the pool decide the type of the proxy pool. Generally, there are basically 5 types of proxy pools based on the type of proxies it contains.

This is because they do not own the IPs they rent out to their customers. They get their IPs through peer-to-peer networks where regular Internet users join for some benefits to allow their Internet bandwidth and IPs to be used when their device is idle. So, they do not have any option but to make use of proxy pools. Only devices available at a particular moment is used. This means that the number of proxies in a residential proxy pool changes a lot.<\/p>\n<p>However, because most of them have proxy pools with IPs in millions in them, this is not a problem. Residential proxy providers allow users to use their whole pool or a part of it, and their pricing is usually based on bandwidth usage. Only a few, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/storm-proxies\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stormproxies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/microleaves\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shifter<\/a>, are priced based on ports. Most of the residential proxy pool owners, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/luminati\/\">Luminati<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/smartproxy\/\">Smartproxy<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/geosurf\/\">GeoSurf<\/a>, are priced based on consumable bandwidth. Residential proxy pools are more expensive to pay for because of their undetectable and stealth nature.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"mobile-proxy-pool\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobile_Proxy_Pool\"><\/span><strong>Mobile Proxy Pool<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mobile proxy pools are the type of proxy pools made of just mobile IPs in it.
