Session control is the ability to manage when and how your proxy IP address changes. It determines whether you get a new IP on every request, keep the same IP for a set period, or hold onto one IP indefinitely. Different tasks require different session behavior, and good session control lets you match the rotation pattern to your specific use case.
Most backconnect proxy providers offer three modes. Random rotation gives you a fresh IP on every new connection. This is ideal for scraping where each request should look independent. Sticky sessions lock an IP to your connection using a session identifier, keeping the same address across multiple requests. Timed rotation sits in between: you get a consistent IP for a set window (1, 5, 10 minutes) before it automatically switches.
With ScaleProxy, session control lives in your proxy credentials. No session ID in the username means random rotation. Adding a session ID creates a sticky session. The interface is the proxy string itself, so you can run different session modes simultaneously across different scraping jobs or account profiles.
Using the wrong session mode leads to either blocks or account flags. If you scrape with a sticky session, the target site sees too many requests from one IP and blocks it. If you manage social media accounts with random rotation, the platform sees the account jumping between cities and flags it. Matching session behavior to the task is essential.
