A 'stable' session is one the destination sees as a single, continuous visitor. Three things create that stability: a consistent IP, an appropriate session duration, and a proxy type built to persist.
The ingredients of stability
Stability is less about speed and more about consistency over time.
- One IP held for the whole session
- Duration matched to the workflow
- A clean, dedicated address
Why rotation breaks long sessions
Per-request rotation is great for scraping but fatal for logged-in work — each new IP looks like a new visitor, which forces re-auth and raises flags.
- Avoid rotation for stateful work
- Prefer sticky or static IPs
- Keep location consistent too
