Dynamic vs. static proxies: what’s the difference and which should you choose?

It may seem that a static IP address is more reliable. But modern requirements for security, automation, and working with online services have changed the rules of the game. We look at which proxies handle anti-fraud systems best.

🚀 Introducing a new series – Case Breakdown.

Running into an unusual issue with your proxies that you can’t figure out? Message our support team and include «Case Breakdown» in your request.

🔍 We’ll investigate the issue, identify the root cause, and suggest the best solution. The more details you provide (platform, software you’re using, what you’ve already tried, and the results), the faster we can help.

📚 We’ll also share the most interesting cases (with all personal and account details removed) on this channel so the community can learn from them. Your case might help others avoid the same issue.

🌱 The first days decide how long an account lives. Rush them, and a new profile behaves like a seasoned bot.

Think in pace, not in actions:

▪️The first hours are for browsing: open the app, scroll, read, close it. Let the account run before it does anything useful.

▪️The first days are for routine: log in at human hours, from one region in a repeatable pattern.

▪️Only then comes the real work, posting, following, launching, and even then it ramps up gradually, never all at once.

⚠️ The fastest way to burn a fresh account is a spike: full activity from minute one, or a sudden jump in location.

🆕 Astro proxies now work via Xray 

Is your provider blocking your proxy connection? There's a solution.

Try Xray if standard protocols aren't working. Our step-by-step guide walks you through it, using two apps – v2RayTun and Happ.

🚀 Case study:

Accounts got banned in batches, even though each had its "own" proxy

💬 A media buying team assigned a separate residential IP to each of its 40 profiles. Right type, matching geo, unique addresses. A few days into the campaign, mass bans.

🔍 What we found:

The problem was behavior, not the IP. Every port ran on the same rotation interval, and all profiles were launched at the same time – IPs changed in sync, actions ran from the same script. To an antifraud system, 40 accounts changing IPs at the same moment read as automation, not 40 real people.

⏩ What we did:
▪️ set a separate rotation interval for each port;
▪️ staggered profile launches over time.

💡 Takeaway: a separate IP per account is half the solution. The other half is making sure accounts don't behave identically.

How to choose a proxy rotation mode

Your parser stalls halfway through a session, and your accounts get banned?
It's not the proxy's fault  – it's the wrong rotation mode.

📖 Find the right mode for your task

🚀 Case study:

Right geo, wrong market

💬 A media buyer was checking competitor creatives for a specific country. The IP was from that country, but the results showed a different market.

🔍 What we found:

An IP "just from the country" landed in one region, while the target market sat in another. On top of that, with the residential pool the city changed on every rotation – each check ran from a new location.

⏩ What we did: Set the country → city → ISP chain. The results now match what the local audience sees.

Your proxy handles the IP. What about the browser?

When managing multiple accounts or web sessions, changing IPs alone isn't always enough. Websites can also analyze browser fingerprints, cookies, WebGL, Canvas, time zones, and other signals.

That’s where an anti-detect browser can complement your proxy setup.

🌐 MostLogin lets you create isolated browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint and browsing environment.

🔹 Separate profiles and cookies;
🔹 Anti-detect browser + cloud phone;
🔹 Proxy integration;
🔹 Automation support;
🔹 Multi-account management.

Claude Fable 5.1 – now available through Astro!

On September 1, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1, its most capable publicly available model for coding and analytical work.

What sets it apart:

• stays on task, flags the unclear;
• builds spreadsheets, verifies every figure;
• separates fact from estimate.

Anthropic remains unavailable in:

▪️ China;
▪️ Iran;
▪️ Russia;
▪️ Belarus;
▪️ Venezuela;
▪️ Cuba;
▪️ Ethiopia.

🌐 Our proxy infrastructure solves this:

Residential IPs from genuine home providers are less likely to trigger Anthropic’s anti-fraud systems than datacenter IPs or VPNs.

🚀 Case study:
Requests dropped under load, and the proxy took the blame

💬 A data team was scraping marketplaces: one port ran several parallel data-collection threads. As the number of threads grew, some requests started timing out. Everyone blamed the proxy.

🔍 What we found:

One port holds up to 250 concurrent TCP connections. The automation opened more – the extra ones queued up and dropped. The proxy was fine; the problem was the configuration.

⏩ What we did: Spread the threads across several ports, within the limit. The timeouts were gone.
