# Auto Rotation Proxy

The **Auto Rotation Proxy** feature enhances security and efficiency by automatically replacing IPs on active ports at a set interval. This ensures you always have fresh IPs, reducing the risk of detection or blocking.

## 1. How to Enable Auto Rotation Proxy

Follow these steps to enable and customize the feature:

{% endstepper %}

## 2. Customization Options

The Auto Rotation Proxy feature offers multiple configuration options:

### 2.1. Scheduled Activation & Deactivation

Set specific days and time ranges for when auto rotation should be active. This allows you to rotate proxies only during your working hours or automated task periods - and automatically stop rotation when not in use.

### 2.2. Rotation Interval & Delay

Define how frequently proxies should rotate on active ports.

* **Rotation Interval**: How often each IP changes (e.g., every 100 seconds).
* **Rotation Delay**: The waiting time before assigning a new proxy to the same port.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: Avoid setting intervals shorter than 30 seconds, since connections may need time to stabilize before switching. Rotating too quickly can waste IPs before they are properly connected.
{% endhint %}

### 2.3.  Port Selection

Choose where to apply the auto rotation feature:

* **All Ports**: Rotate proxies across all active ports.
* **Selected Ports**: Apply rotation only to specific ports configured under [**Port Configuration**](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-ips/for-macos-windows/configure-proxy).

## Important

* Each automatic rotation consumes a new IP from your available pool.
* Using Scheduled Activation helps prevent unnecessary rotations during idle time - keeping your IP usage efficient.
