TrustpilotAn exit IP is the public address your traffic leaves the proxy network from, and so the address a website sees and logs. It is not always the address you connect to.
Every proxy connection has two ends. You connect to an entry point: a host and port, such as a static proxy's own address or a gateway hostname. The proxy then opens a second connection to the website from an exit IP. The site never sees your own address, only the exit.
On a static proxy the entry and the exit are usually the same IP, and it does not change. On a backconnect proxy gateway, one entry hostname fronts a whole pool of exits: the gateway picks an exit IP for each request, or keeps one for the length of a sticky session. That is why the address you type into your tool and the address in a site's logs often differ.
Everything a site judges belongs to the exit IP: its ASN, its geolocation, its reputation and its request rate. When you test a proxy, test the exit, not the entry. Geolocation databases look up the exit IP, so a gateway hostname in one country can exit in another.
Request an IP echo service through the proxy. The response body is the exit IP the site saw:

Setup guides and best practices from the CleanProxies blog.
How many proxies you need: one dedicated IP per account, a request-rate formula for scraping, and a GB budget for rotating residential, with real page-weight measurements and a Python sizing script.
Oxylabs' best rates need a $2,500/month enterprise plan. We priced five workloads on Oxylabs and five alternatives on 1 November 2026, with screenshots. CleanProxies ranks #1: dedicated US ISP proxies as low as $0.75/IP, residential from $0.63/GB that never expires.
Smartproxy is now Decodo. We priced the same workloads on Decodo and six alternatives on 1 November 2026, with screenshots. CleanProxies ranks #1: residential as low as $0.63/GB that never expires, US ISP proxies as low as $0.75/IP, mobile from $0.79/GB.
The best IPRoyal alternatives in 2026, compared on prices read from each provider's pricing page on 31 October with screenshots. CleanProxies ranks #1: residential as low as $0.63/GB that never expires, US ISP proxies as low as $0.75/IP with unlimited bandwidth, mobile from $0.79/GB.
What unlimited bandwidth ISP proxies really include, the fair-use limits other providers publish, how much data real workloads use (our measurements) and a Python break-even script for per-IP vs per-GB.
Tested code to rotate proxies in Python: gateway rotation, round-robin over static ISP IPs with cooldowns, retries and Retry-After handling, async httpx and a Scrapy middleware, plus our bench results.

Straight answers about Exit IP.
On a static proxy they are usually the same address. On a rotating gateway the address you connect to is a fixed gateway, and the exit IP changes per request or per session.
