That honestly sounds so fun! Who better to build your defences than your attackers ahaha

Tying into your concern, keeping IPs fresh and high quality will definitely be a balancing act as we get bigger. It'd be one today too if we were to try to offer super granular location controls because there's only so many proxies in X state, let alone X city. Currently, we get to aggregate & QA from multiple proxy providers, so our total pool is 300M+ IPs in the US and so far we've had a 99.95% rate of getting a fresh IP address in a session. So so far so good :)

As for that last point, I guess we'll see what the future has in store for us :P

Is it possible to persist an IP address if we supply the proxy credentials?

yea, thats totally doable with us! The rest just depends on your proxy and whether it's rotating or persistent.

With our proxy service this is built for at least the length of a session (up to 24 hours).
