I am trying to make a web scraper but my ubuntu instance is getting banned. I think I am scraping the website a little too fast. I've slowed down the requests but I am still banned. To fix this I assigned the instance with a new IP by releasing my IP and reassigning it one with Elastic IP but it is still banned. How can I assign a new IP for my ubuntu instance to stop it from being banned? It does not seem like reassigning IPs with ElasticIP is the solution.
I dont want to terminate my instance as I would have to setup the new instance again. This instance is under a VPC as well
Unless you know for sure that the website owner is banning just specific IPs, then getting a new IP probably won't help.
There are plenty of websites that block the entire AWS IP range.
