⚠Review·Scanned 2/17/2026

Automates rotating OpenVPN servers to bypass API rate limits via a Python library, CLI, and setup scripts. It writes system sudoers entries (/etc/sudoers.d/vpn-rotate), creates/reads credential files (~/.vpn/creds.txt), runs system commands (openvpn, killall), and calls https://api.ipify.org.

🔄 VPN Rotate Skill

Break free from API restrictions. Rotate IPs. Scrape without limits.

The Problem

APIs fight back against data collection:

🚫 IP blocks after a few requests
🚫 Rate limits killing throughput
🚫 Geo-restrictions locking you out

The Solution

Automatically rotate VPN servers to get fresh IPs. Works with any OpenVPN-compatible VPN:

✅ ProtonVPN
✅ NordVPN
✅ Mullvad
✅ Any provider with .ovpn configs

Quick Start

# 1. Setup (interactive)
./scripts/setup.sh

# 2. Use in Python

from scripts.decorator import with_vpn_rotation

@with_vpn_rotation(rotate_every=10)
def scrape(url):
    return requests.get(url).json()

# Every 10 requests → new server → new IP → no blocks
for url in urls:
    data = scrape(url)

How It Works

Connects to VPN server via OpenVPN
Makes N requests
Disconnects, picks new server
Reconnects with fresh IP
Repeat

Success Rates

Rotation	Success Rate	Speed
Every 5 requests	95%+	Slower
Every 10 requests	90-95%	Medium
Every 20 requests	80-90%	Faster

Use Cases

Government APIs — Catastro, court records, public data
Real estate — Idealista, Zillow, property registries
E-commerce — Price monitoring, stock tracking
Search engines — SERP data, rankings
Social media — Profiles, posts, analytics

Requirements

Linux with OpenVPN (apt install openvpn)
VPN account with OpenVPN support
Passwordless sudo for openvpn (setup script handles this)
