You connect to one host and port every time. Behind it sits a pool of addresses, and the service picks a different one for each new connection. Nothing has to be changed on your side between requests.
Rotation suits work made of separate pages: search results, product listings, price checks. It does not suit anything with steps that belong together, such as a login, because the site would see each step arrive from a different visitor. On BooProxies, a plain username such as USERNAME rotates; adding a session to the username holds one address.

Questions about rotating proxy
How often does a rotating proxy change IP address?
On every new connection, unless you ask it to hold one. Requests sent over a connection your program keeps open share an address until that connection closes.
Can I choose the country a rotating proxy uses?
Yes. The gateway picks the address and you narrow the choice: on BooProxies a country code in the username limits rotation to addresses in that country.

- IP rotation
- IP rotation means changing the IP address your requests come from, either on every connection or after a set time, to spread them out.
- Proxy pool
- A proxy pool is the whole set of IP addresses a proxy service can send your requests through. Each request is given one address from it.
