Why Automation Needs Proxies
Automated browsers generate repetitive traffic patterns that trigger rate limits and blocks. Residential proxies reduce detection and let you validate flows from multiple regions.
Recommended Workflow
- Use **sticky sessions** for login and multi-step flows
- Rotate IPs across parallel test runs
- Keep concurrency aligned with your plan limits
Example: Playwright with Proxy
const browser = await chromium.launch({
proxy: {
server: 'http://gate.hexproxies.com:8080',
username: 'user',
password: 'pass',
},
});
