Change Proxy

This action changes the proxy server used in subsequent steps. Hereby, it allows the robot to switch between multiple proxy servers during its execution or use a specified proxy.

To use this action with auto select, you must specify a list of proxy servers that the action should switch between.

At each execution of the Change Proxy action a new proxy server is selected from the list. The proxy servers are selected in the order that they appear on the list, with the first one being chosen randomly at the first execution of the Change Proxy action.

See Use Proxy Services for more details.
