Cycling to new IPs is trivial, I ban a few thousand IPs and cidr ranges in my WAF, I’ll see 75% of them show up the next time the scraper hits. Then after that most don’t show up again and the next scrape comes from a mostly new set of IPs.

I’ve see A few instances where they will cycle IPs during the same scraping event if some of them are blocked.

I’ve got scrapers that will send every request from a unique IP.

There is a lot of money to be made right now offering hard to block scraping services or tools to enable them.

I feel for yall. These residential proxies and the sdk networks are the bane of my existence and I’m paid to deal with them.
