How to overcome the limitation of CDN by using proxies

CDN technology provides fast access to content regardless of the user's location.
However, it has limitations that may prevent access to desired sites. Proxies can help
overcome these limitations, and this article will explain how.

How does CDN work and what are its limitations?

A content delivery network (CDN) enables the storage of website copies and content
in various locations worldwide. This allows users to access the content instantly from
the nearest location. But, there are limitations to consider:
  • Content is not available in the region. CDN must comply with regulations and
    may block sites in countries subject to sanctions or for other reasons.
  • Traffic spikes. This occurs when too many people are trying to access the same
    page. For instance, during a broadcast of a popular event such as a sports
    match or the Olympics.
  • The problem of even delivery. There is a large amount of content available on
    the internet, and CDNs do not always distribute it evenly.
How can proxies help overcome CDN limitations?

A proxy is a technology that enables the delivery or receipt of content despite
barriers such as:
  • GEO-restrictions. By choosing a proxy from the desired country, you can access
    websites from that location, even if access is restricted in other regions.
  • Low connection speed. Proxies can accelerate content delivery by selecting a
    server that is closer to you or your audience.
  • System overload. Proxies can distribute requests in a way that does not
    overload the main server.
How to choose a proxy for content distribution?

Different types of proxies may be optimal for distributing content:
  • Residential. When using them, the IP address appears as if it belongs to a
    real person from the desired country. These proxies are highly anonymous
    and well-suited for working with global audiences and delivering any
    type of content.
  • Static.These proxies are high-speed and can transfer large amounts of
    data quickly. They can help you cope with peak load.
  • Rotating proxies. They offer excellent anonymity and are difficult to
    trace, making them ideal for distributing content and load balancing.
Conclusion

Proxies can assist in managing CDN limitations, handling peak loads, and
delivering content to global audiences. All CDN traffic can be directed through
proxies. Our Proxytunnel service offers highly reliable residential, static, and
rotating IP proxies that are optimized for content distribution.
