## What it is
FireProx is a Python CLI tool that uses AWS API Gateway to create on-the-fly HTTP pass-through proxies that rotate the source IP address with every request. It supports creating, deleting, listing, and updating proxy endpoints across multiple AWS regions.

## Use cases
- rotate source ip address for web requests
- hide my ip when scraping a website
- create a pass-through proxy with aws api gateway
- avoid ip blocking during penetration testing
- spoof x-forwarded-for header
- proxy web requests through rotating ips

## When to choose
- you need per-request IP rotation without managing many VPS instances
- you want a cheap, on-demand proxy endpoint in specific AWS regions
- you need to pass through all HTTP methods and URIs to a destination server

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed anonymity - AWS may expose source info via headers
- your target is behind CloudFlare which may detect the forwarded headers
- you cannot accept AWS Acceptable Use Policy risks to your account
