Introducing Rcloak

Most rotating-proxy services hand you a single dumb endpoint and call it a day. We wanted something closer to what you'd build in-house if you had the time: a pool that heals itself, selection strategies that actually mean something, and billing that matches how bandwidth plans should work.

What's different

• Self-healing pool. Every proxy is health-checked on a loop. Three consecutive failures and it's frozen (excluded from new requests, but still retried); ten and it's gone for good.
• Four selection profiles. random for even distribution, stable for the highest success rate, fastest for the lowest latency, and fresh for round-robin over the newest additions to the pool.
• Sticky sessions, opt-in. Add a session ID to your username and you'll keep the same proxy until it fails — useful for anything that needs a consistent IP across a few requests. Leave it off and every request gets fresh selection.

How it works

Your proxy URL encodes everything:

http://<profile>[-<country>[-<session_id>]]:<token>@proxy.example.com:8080

profile is required. Country and session are both optional and independent — you can specify a country without a session, or neither at all.

We'll be writing more here as new features ship. If there's something you'd like covered, get in touch.
