Understanding Egress IPs

This doc explains what egress IPs are, how they work in Doppelganger, and how to use your own IPs for scraping and automation.

What is an Egress IP?#

An egress IP is the IP address that websites see when Doppelganger makes a request.

It is the exit point of your traffic to the internet.

Ingress = traffic coming in
Egress = traffic going out (this is what sites see)

Websites use IPs to:

If all requests use the same IP, you will get blocked quickly.

That’s why egress rotation matters.

Doppelganger uses a central egress layer.

Tasks do not manage proxies.
Tasks do not set headers.
Tasks do not rotate IPs.

You import IPs once, and Doppelganger does the rest.

You bring your own IPs from any provider:

Supported:

Once imported, they become part of your egress pool.

Rotation happens at the egress layer, not in your task code.

Doppelganger automatically:

You never write proxy logic.
