# Proxy Rotation

Learn how to use the proxy rotation feature of ISP Proxies to switch IPs automatically. This will improve your scraping success.

ISP Proxies support proxy rotation. To use this feature you need to change your port number to `8000`. With each new request you will receive a random IP from your proxy list.

**Code examples**

{% tab title="C#" %}

```csharp
using System.Net;

// .NET currently does not support HTTPS proxies
var proxy = new WebProxy {
    Address = new Uri("http://isp.oxylabs.io:8000"),
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
        userName: "user-USERNAME",
        password: "PASSWORD"
    )
};

var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler {Proxy = proxy};

using var client = new HttpClient(handler: httpClientHandler, disposeHandler: true);

var result = await client.GetStringAsync("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location");
Console.WriteLine(result);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

IPs will be selected from the indicated country pool if you provide a `country-` parameter. For example, if you want to rotate your United States proxy pool only, use a parameter `country-` and add two letter country code `country-US` in your user string.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/isp-proxies/proxy-rotation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
