Shared proxies are chosen for speed and scale — not for perfection.
When teams need a large IP pool quickly and at a lower cost, shared proxies are often the first option. They fit tasks where throughput matters more than individual IP reputation.
In this video, we explain how shared proxies work, where they perform best, and where they create risks instead of value.
What we cover:
— how traffic is distributed across shared proxy pools;
— differences between IPv4, mobile, and semi-dedicated proxies;
— typical use cases: scraping, automation, testing, geo checks;
— trade-offs between cost, stability, and IP reputation.
Shared proxies are neither universal nor specialized.
They work when chosen for the right tasks.
