We’ve rolled out several updates designed to give you more control, better performance, and greater value across Infatica’s proxy services. From customizable node failure settings to price reductions on Static ISP, and Dedicated Datacenter proxies, these improvements are built to support your scaling needs – efficiently and affordably!
Smarter Proxy Controls
In proxy networks, a node failure occurs when a proxy server becomes unresponsive or unreachable – often due to network issues, server downtime, or temporary bans. These failures can disrupt scraping sessions or cause data loss if not handled properly.
Thanks to our new failover settings, you can now fine-tune how your proxies respond to node failures – directly from your Infatica dashboard:
- Immediate rotation: Minimize downtime by instantly switching to a new node.
- 5-second delay: Add a buffer before rotating for more stable retries.
- No rotation: Keep the same node to maintain session consistency.
Real-World Use Cases
Custom failover behavior is especially useful for advanced scraping and automation scenarios. Here are a few examples:
- E-commerce monitoring: When scraping product listings or availability, an immediate rotation helps ensure uninterrupted data collection – even if a node is temporarily blocked.
- Account-based workflows: For login sessions or social media management, “no rotation” prevents session interruptions caused by unexpected IP changes.
- API interactions with rate limits: A short delay before rotation can give temporarily rate-limited endpoints time to recover, reducing the number of false errors or dropped sessions.
- Testing and QA automation: Different rotation strategies can simulate real-world network behavior, helping test system resilience under various failure conditions.
More Flexibility Than Standard Proxy Solutions
Many proxy providers use fixed rotation logic with little to no control over failover behavior. This often results in:
- Unnecessary IP switching, which can disrupt sessions or trigger suspicion on target websites
- Increased complexity, as users must build their own retry and rotation logic
- Limited adaptability, forcing all use cases to follow the same behavior
With Infatica, you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all model. You can dynamically align proxy behavior with your goals – whether that’s speed, reliability, or session stability.
Lower Prices For Static ISP Proxies
Infatica’s Static ISP proxies combine the stability of datacenter infrastructure with IPs registered to real internet service providers. These proxies offer high uptime, consistent performance, and are less likely to be flagged or blocked – making them ideal for long-running sessions, social media management, and SEO tasks.
Here’s the updated pricing for our Static ISP proxies:
Lower Prices For Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Our Dedicated Datacenter proxies provide fast, reliable, and private access to exclusive IP addresses hosted in data centers. These proxies are not shared with other users, ensuring optimal speed and performance for high-volume scraping, market research, or automated testing at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Node failure settings let you control how proxies behave when a server becomes unresponsive. You can choose to rotate immediately, wait 5 seconds, or keep the same node — helping tailor performance to your use case.
You can configure proxy failover settings directly in your Infatica account dashboard.
We’ve reduced prices by up to 50% for Static ISP, and Dedicated Datacenter proxies.
Static ISP proxies use IPs from real ISPs but are hosted in data centers, offering authenticity and performance. Datacenter proxies are pure server-hosted IPs, providing speed and exclusivity for high-volume tasks.
