## What it is
CloudProxy is a self-hosted Python tool that provisions and manages proxy servers across multiple cloud providers, rotating IPs to improve web scraping success rates. It exposes a web interface and API for managing the proxy pool and supports rolling deployments and multi-account provider setups.

## Use cases
- rotate IPs automatically for web scraping
- provision cheap proxy servers across cloud providers
- avoid getting my scraper's IP blocked
- manage a pool of self-hosted proxies via an API
- replace paid rotating proxy services with cloud VMs
- spin up and destroy proxy instances on a schedule

## When to choose
- you need many rotating IPs for scraping at scale
- you want cheaper alternatives to commercial proxy providers
- you prefer self-hosted infrastructure you control
- you use multiple cloud provider accounts and want unified proxy management

## When to avoid
- you need residential or mobile IPs, not datacenter IPs
- you only need a handful of static proxies
- you don't want to manage cloud provider accounts and billing
- your target sites block datacenter IP ranges outright
