-Proxyway is a blog dedicated to the research and testing of the best proxy providers and giving an honest opinion about their service. It was started in 2018, when two tech-enthusiasts, Adam and Chris, met on Stack Overflow and started sharing their experiences and opinions about proxies.
-
-Our mission is to inform and educate our readers – both regular people and tech geeks – about proxy services. We’re committed to delivering comprehensive reviews, detailed guides, and other high-quality content explaining the “hows” and “whys” of current proxy technology.

-I’m a geek that has long been into tech of all kinds. I got into web development back in my teens, after creating my first personal blog. Eventually, web dev became by profession, and writing content is something I still enjoy. I’ve quit my full-time job to work as a freelancer and right now, Proxyway is my main focus. On my free time, I enjoy urban exploring, geocaching and learning languages.

-For me it all started with looking for proxies to work around bans in my old workplace (we really needed that sweet YouTube time). Eventually, I started getting more and more into proxies and the technology behind it. And here I am now, a proxy tester, reviewer and content creator. Besides proxies, I love arguing on Reddit, cooking spicy Korean food and listening to weird European music.

-I’m a caffeine-fuelled tech junkie living in the UK. For years, I have been working as a marketing manager for various tech companies with no real knowledge of how proxies even work. Up until I tried to cop my first pair of Yeezys. Now I spend most of my free time hunting for instacops and trying out new bots. When I’m not rambling about my favorite streetwear brands, I’m either curled up with a mystery novel or dancing at a rave.

-
-There are two main proxy types that work best with Amazon:
-
-If you’re interested in scraping data from Amazon but want to avoid the hassle of managing proxies and dealing with CAPTCHAs, many providers on this list offer web scraping APIs optimized for this e-commerce platform.
-
-We took 8 established proxy providers. We then put them through extensive tests by repeatedly connecting to Amazon using hundreds of connection requests at once. We examined the proxy success rate and response time on Amazon. We considered the performance results alongside the provider’s features, pricing, and general user experience to make the final decision.
-
-Amazon is the largest e-retailer in the world. Its pricing and product information is very valuable for every business. You can use it to scrape Amazon reviews, prices, and other data to conduct market analysis and gain a competitive edge over other retailers.
-
-But Amazon is very vigilant about protecting its data, and you can only do so much with one IP address. If you start abusing the website, you’ll quickly get blocked. That’s why you need proxies to trick Amazon into believing it’s being accessed by different – and ideally real-looking – people.
-
-Dedicated datacenter proxies are both cheaper and faster. However, they are easy to spot. Amazon will quickly notice such proxies and blocked them or feed you false data. Another big drawback is that datacenter IPs come in groups called subnets. If one proxy gets banned, it can take up to 264 IPs with it.
-
-For these reasons, you should choose residential proxies for Amazon scraping. These are IPs used by real internet users, so they’re much harder for Amazon to block. Residential proxies often use backconnect servers which are easy to set up and rotate. This lets you make hundreds of connection requests without getting banned.
-
-Yes, you can. Just make sure your Amazon proxy provider offers good location coverage. It should include not only USA and the United Kingdom but countries all over the world such as Australia, India, and Japan. You should also be able to target those specific locations and not simply have them in a general proxy pack.
-
-Location targeting is important not only for web scraping. It’s crucial if you want a proxy for Amazon Prime video for watching geo-restricted content on your device. Just make sure you’re not using HTTP proxies for Amazon Prime because you will get the “HTTP proxy not supported” error.
-
-City targeting is not necessary for scraping Amazon: local Amazon websites operate country-wide.
-
-There are at least a dozen programs for automated Amazon scraping. Some of the most popular ones are Chrome browser extensions like Web Scraper, Data Scraper, and Scraper. Other applications that allow scraping Amazon are Scrapy, ParseHub, OutWitHub, FMiner, Octoparse, and Web Harvey.
-
-Choose your scraper depending on your needs. Some businesses build their own scraping solutions, but that requires the know-how and resources not everyone has. No matter the app, you can only use it to its full potential in tandem with proxies.
-
-If you don’t want to bother with writing scraping scripts or setting up specialized software, several premium proxy providers can do the heavy lifting for you. For example, Oxylabs has E-Commerce Scraper API for heavy-duty data retrieval, and Bright Data offers data collection services.

-The more money you have, the easier it is. 🙂 If you’re loaded, simply get a data extraction service to do it for you. If you don’t need to scrape much data, you can try using a visual scraper like Octoparse.

-
-Whether you’re looking to improve your privacy, or you’re in the business of managing multiple social media, e-commerce, or ad accounts, antidetect browsers can help. However, choosing one is no easy task: many options exist, and they don’t always look trustworthy. We’ve done the research; here are the top picks.
-
-The Best Antidetect Browsers – Quick Summary:
-
-An anti detect browser is an app based on popular web browsers, usually Chrome or Firefox. It lets you create separate browsing environments with their own digital fingerprint: different browser headers and other identifying information. As a result, websites can’t link to those environments to one another. Antidetect browsers are often used to manage multiple accounts on social media, control merchant profiles on e-commerce platforms like Amazon, or run Google Adwords.
-
-
-				Learn more: A Guide to Antidetect Browsers.			
-
-If you’ve started researching antidetect browsers, you know they’re not exactly hard to come by. In fact, we can count at least ten. That’s quite a variety! Many of the options differentiate by price and features, so there are several questions you should answer first:
-
-Antidetect browsers live and die by their ability to successfully spoof a browser fingerprint. They have to:
-
-Considering that a fingerprint draws from dozens of data points, some of which provide duplicate information (more room for inconsistencies), it’s a pretty hard task to achieve. One popular way to test anonymous browser’s quality is using Canvas fingerprinting. It’s not perfect, but if the test shows that your fingerprint is 100% unique – some strict websites may be able to detect you. So, don’t be afraid to ask for a free trial, create a profile, and give it a run.
-
-Trusted market veteran.
-
-If you’re serious about managing multiple accounts, Multilogin is the golden standard. This Estonian company is among the first in the field, and one that’s still to beat. It’s also branded as Indigo Browser in the Russian market.
-
-Multilogin is one of the few options that tries to spoof a fingerprint completely instead of disabling important parameters like Canvas or WebGL. This makes it more reliable in the eyes of websites.
-
-The app lets you access multiple internet browsers – modified Chrome or Firefox – with different browser fingerprints. You can create quick browser profiles or manually change every parameter you want. The tool stores data encrypted on the cloud and allows up to 10 people to control the accounts, depending on the plan. Developers can automate Multilogin using Selenium or Puppeteer to create thousands of profiles per day.
-
-The downside: Multilogin is probably the most expensive antidetect browser out there. The cheapest plan starts from $115/month for 100 profiles and doesn’t include collaboration features. If you need fewer profiles or have less money to spend, you might have to look elsewhere.
-
-Read the Multilogin review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Powerful no-code automation tools.
-
-AdsPower is a Chinese antidetect browser aimed at managing e-commerce and social media accounts. It wasn’t very popular outside China until recently, when its founders translated the app to English. Since then, many marketers have found it to be a competent Multilogin alternative.
-
-Like any other antidetect browser, AdsPower allows creating and managing multiple browser profiles. The interface is relatively simple to use, and you can import accounts in batches. The browser also offers powerful automation features that require no programming knowledge. For example, its RPA recorder can learn and replicate your workflows as you click on things, whether that’s posting, adding items to cart, etc.
-
-AdsPower has a very limited free plan with two profiles. Otherwise, the pricing starts from $10/month for 10 profiles. More expensive plans bring more seats for teams. There’s also an automation service for work with Business Manager that costs extra.
-
-Free option for individual use.
-
-X-Browser takes a different approach. Instead of asking to you to pay, it comes for free with Smartproxy’s residential proxies. So, you’ll still have to spend money, but only for the proxy service which is necessary anyway.
-
-X-Browser is based on Chrome and mostly geared towards individual marketers. There’s no profile sync, cloud data storage, headless browser integration, and you won’t be able to import cookies. Still, the tool provides all you need to change the browser fingerprint in a very simple interface. You can create as many profiles as you like.
-
-Overall, there’s little reason to use X-Browser if you need to collaborate or don’t plan on getting Smartproxy’s proxies. But if you do – and these residential IPs are some of the best on the market – it’s definitely worth a shot.
-
-Free option for individual use.
-
-GoLogin is a relative newcomer with good communication, very active development team, and cut-throat pricing. It’s one of the main places where people that find Multilogin too expensive go, and there’s plenty of positive feedback on TrustPilot about its efffectiveness.
-
-GoLogin uses its own web browser based on Google Chrome. It spoofs the browser fingerprint by replacing most parameters and adding noise to others. Some users have found that this method leads to more CAPTCHAs and verifications but the results may differ depending on your configuration.
-
-The browser is simple to use: it generates fingerprint configurations at a click of a button. Unlike others, GoLogin also includes proxies out of the box. They won’t work well with sophisticated websites but should do their job for general browsing. There’s an Android app too, and you can even access the tool from via cloud interface.
-
-GoLogin offers a free plan, though it’s very limited – only 3 profiles. Its paid plans increase the number of profiles as well as collaboration options: team members and how many times you can share a profile with them.
-
-Read the GoLogin review for more information & performance tests.
-
-Unlimited profiles and a mobile app.
-
-Kameleo is another popular option. It stands somewhere in-between Multilogin and GoLogin as one of the top tier antidetect tools.
-
-Kameleo supports all the main web browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge. It uses something called base profiles which take popular fingerprint configurations and make minor adjustments to them. You can create an unlimited number of profiles with any plan and automate the process with Selenium. Kameleo also offers an Android app to change your mobile fingerprint.
-
-Some of the downsides include slow customer support and inconvenient collaboration options: your data is stored locally and the plans only have one seat. Kameleo is also in the process of releasing a new method to spoof Canvas fingerprinting, but it’s yet to see the light of day.
-
-Fully featured with a free 10-profile plan.
-
-Incogniton is one of the new generation Chromium anti detect browsers, similar to GoLogin and AdsPower. Accordingly, it shares most of the features you’d expect: creating and syncinc multiple browser profiles (including bulk creation), importing cookies, and automating things via a headless library or API. One interesting feature is paste as human typing which allows to quickly fill in forms.
-
-Perhaps the biggest draw here is Incogniton’s generous free plan. It allows saving up to 10 browser profiles – several times more compared to the competition. If you try it and get hooked, the bigger plan include automation features, more profiles, and team seats.
-
-Past favorite with a shady reputation.
-
-Linken Sphere is Chromium-based anti detection browser software developed by Russian group Tenebris. It used to be among the best tools to overcome anti fraud systems, so you’ve probably seen it mentioned more than once. But we can’t really recommend it today.
-
-One of the reasons is very practical – sporadic updates. The app hasn’t been updated for a while, and it’s fallen behind. Another reason is ideological – Linken Sphere has often been used for hacking, fraud, and other illegal activities. Bitcoin-only payments and the famous off-the-record mode (the data is stored in RAM only) are testament to its sketchiness.
-
-If you don’t find it important, the tool costs $100 per month. There’s also a donation-supported version called Sphere. It’s completely free of charge but offers fewer features.
-
-For an antidetect browser to work properly, you’ll need to outfit your profiles with proxies. A proxy server gives your device a different IP address; it’s like a post code for the internet. If you’re new to them, you can learn more here.
-
-The best kind of proxy is residential or mobile. These IPs come from the devices of real users, letting you blend in well. Datacenter proxies and VPNs look artificial, so they’re much more likely to encounter verification prompts and blocks. If you’re not quite sure where to get proxies, feel free to check our lists of the best residential and mobile proxy providers.

-It’s perfectly legal to use an Australia proxy server to access the internet as if you were located in Australia. That means you can use Australian proxies to access ABC and other Aussie news sites. Just know that Australia proxies won’t make you untraceable or invincible. Law enforcement can use other methods to track down internet users who hide behind anonymity services like proxies. An Australian IP address is only one piece of data that Australian police would use to track down a suspect.
-
-Each provider on our list offers reliable access to geo-blocked Australian content. This includes Australian news, programs and scraping localized data sources. Most Australia proxy service providers also have large pools of IP addresses. This means that whenever one IP address gets blocked, you can simply rotate onto the next one and continue browsing as normal. If you’re gathering market intelligence and need to access local content, a proxy service is the best solution.

-Web scraping APIs are easier to set up and maintain than custom scrapers but still require basic programming skills. In scraping, an API provider plays a crucial role – it sends a request to your target website on your behalf and returns the data. Meanwhile, you don’t have to worry about technical details like proxy management, headless browsers, or anti-detection measures.
-
-If you’re looking for the best web scraping API providers, this page will help you to choose the perfect fit from a curated list.
-
-The Best Web Scraping APIs – Quick Summary:
-
-There are several ways to go about web scraping, and one of them is to use an API (Application Programming Interface). It’s like a remote web scraper – you send a request to the API with the URL and other parameters like language, geolocation, or device type. Then, the API accesses the target website, downloads the data, and comes back to you with the results.
-
-Let’s say you want to get product listings from Amazon. Building a scraper might take a lot of time and resources – you’ll have to write a script, choose and set up a proxy server, and rotate headers. A web scraping API takes care of these details for you. Some API services include parsing functionality, so you’ll get structured results in formats like JSON or CSV. However, specific features will vary depending on the service.
-
-To choose the best web scraping APIs, we tested a bunch of companies that offer such services and presented the results in our first Web Scraping API Research. Most of these companies are well-known in the field, so you can be sure that you’ll get a quality service.
-
-We compared their features, scraping performance, parsing capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. Our benchmarks targeted the most popular websites: Google, Amazon, and photo-focused social media platform.
-
-GraphQL
-
-Headless
-
-Best performing web scraping APIs with a robust parser.
-
-Oxylabs – a major name in the proxy industry – also delivers premium scrapers. It offers four web scraping APIs: Web Scraper API, SERP Scraper API, Real Estate Scraper, and E-Commerce Scraper API.  
-
-All four tools use a 100M residential proxy pool and offer country-level targeting in 195 locations worldwide. SERP Scraper API has additional city and coordinate-level targeting for SEO-based tasks and allows getting data in CSV file, mainly for Google search results.
-
-The APIs include features like scheduling tasks, and crawling, which is rare to find. They’re relatively customizable: you can select a location, device, and pass custom headers. The provider supports three integration methods: a proxy server and two API formats with optional asynchronous delivery, which allows you to get results in batches. 
-
-The scrapers include parsing functionality for any website. From the list of providers we tested, Oxylabs is the only provider that can structure any e-commerce website with its adaptive AI-based parser.
-
-Oxylabs displayed the best overall results in our tests. Its APIs reached a 100% success rate on Google and Amazon, and the response time beat most providers. However, it took time to return data from social media, especially when headless browsers were involved.
-
-The pricing model is based on successful requests, and you can request a 7-day free trial. However, Oxylabs is more expensive compared to the competition.
-
-Read the Oxylabs review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Fastest web scraping APIs with convenient proxy-like integration.
-
-Bright Data is a premium proxy provider focusing on data collection solutions. It offers two proxy-based APIs for data collection: Web Unlocker and SERP API. Web Unlocker is a general-purpose scraper that can target various websites, and SERP API is fit for scraping and parsing major search engines.
-
-Bright Data’s scrapers come with a 72M residential proxy pool, country, and city targeting in any location you can think of. They include all the necessary features: JavaScript rendering, IP rotation, and anti-detection techniques. However, Web Unlocker is less customizable than some APIs because it integrates primarily as a proxy server.
-
-The provider showed almost perfect results. Its Google API reached a success rate of over 98% and was one of the fastest to retrieve data. Bright Data’s Amazon scraper also lined up at the top. The only website that gave Web Unlocker a run for its money was the social media platform, specifically its GraphQL endpoint. 
-
-In terms of pricing, Bright Data has two options: subscription or pay as you go. The first one is cheaper, but you have to commit to at least $500/month. With pay as you go, the price starts at $3. The provider keeps the same price for all configurations and websites. However, it’s not very efficient for unprotected websites, since you’ll overpay.
-
-Read the Bright Data review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Best value for quality web scraping APIs.
-
-Aside from having an excellent proxy infrastructure, Smartproxy offers three great-performing scraping APIs: Web Scraping API, eCommerce scraping API, and SERP Scraping API.  
-
-The scraper plans include Smartproxy’s residential proxy network and country-level targeting. You can choose from any of 195 locations, with coordinate-level targeting for the Google scraper. Smartproxy offers all the basic features for small to large-scale scraping: proxy rotation, anti-detection techniques, and JavaScript rendering. However, it lacks the ability to establish sessions or to handle cookies. 
-
-The APIs can parse two major websites – Amazon and Google – and fetch results in JSON format. The scrapers integrate as a proxy server or an API and return results via open connection.
-
-During our tests, Smartproxy did well in all three website categories. It returned data with a 100% success rate and an average response time of 4.66s on Amazon, and 6.04s on Google. The provider beat the competition on photo-focused social media platform when targeting its GraphQL endpoint (100% success rate), which was a struggle for most providers.  
-
-Compared to other Oxylabs or Bright Data, Smartproxy costs less. However, it still might be too expensive for smaller scraping tasks. 
-
-Read the Smartproxy review for more information and performance tests.
-
-A promising scraping ecosystem & cheap prices for basic configuration scraping.

-Zyte is a veteran in the web scraping industry. It offers an API with advanced proxy management features wrapped in.
-
-The API is relatively versatile in terms of features: it comes with automatic IP rotation and retries. In addition, you can pass on cookies, fill in forms, and scrape JavaScript-dependent websites. The API supports 19 locations, but Zyte has a system that automatically tries to match the location with the provided URL.
-
-Zyte is one of a few providers with a TypeScript API for scripting browser actions. Enterprise clients can write scripts to do everything from hovering on elements to entering individual symbols.
-
-Since the API doesn’t offer an in-built parser, there’s an option to build a parser manually by creating extraction rules with CSS selectors. 
-
-Zyte’s API performed well on Google – it brought back 99.47% of raw HTML results and was faster than most competitors. However, there’s space for improvement with e-commerce websites – the success rate on Amazon was only 85.5%, but it was very fast with an average response time of 4.51s.
-
-The provider did surprisingly well on social media when targeting the GraphQL endpoint – it reached an almost perfect success rate in about 2.59s. The headless test wasn’t that forgiving – Zyte’s speed dropped to 28.14s.
-
-Zyte has custom pricing – it calculates the price per request for each website dynamically, based on its difficulty and the features you select. There’s a dashboard tool to help you estimate request cost. Overall, it’s a price-efficient service for basic configuration scraping. But if you need features like JavaScript rendering, the price rises sharply.
-
-A customizable API without monthly subscriptions.
-
-Rayobyte is known for its expansive datacenter proxy infrastructure. Its general-purpose scraping API – Scraping Robot – can target any website and has custom modules for parsing Amazon and Google Search pages. They come without additional charge but are relatively basic compared to the competition. 
-
-You can choose from 130 locations with country-level targeting. The scraping API is very customizable. You can pass parameters like geolocation, specify device type and selectors (both CSS and XPath), create sessions, pass cookies and data to websites. Like other scraping APIs, Scraping Robot is capable of JavaScript rendering, and you can additionally snap a screenshot or imitate browser actions.
-
-Rayobyte’s Google API returned raw HTML with a perfect score and an average response time (6.53s). But it was over three seconds slower in JSON. Also, the speed dropped significantly on Amazon with an average response time 20.7s. Rayobyte was one of a few providers that did relatively okay with the GraphQL endpoint and reached an 80% success rate. 
-
-The pricing starts from $0.0018/request. There’s no monthly commitment – you simply buy the amount of requests you need and scrape until they’re depleted. You can also get 5,000 free scrapes/month. 
-
-Read the Rayobyte review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Cost-efficient web scraping API for scraping unprotected websites.
-
-ScraperAPI is a general-purpose scraper for various websites. It has great documentation for major programming languages: Python, NodeJS, PHP, Ruby, and Java.
-
-The scraper lets you adjust request headers, establish sessions, and scrape using premium proxies if needed. It’s also capable of parsing Google Search, Shopping, and multiple Amazon properties by passing an additional parameter. However, Scraper API has relatively limited location coverage – only 12 countries.
-
-The provider was behind the competition during our tests – it was twice slower than the average while targeting Google and failed around 5% of the requests. It showed nearly identical results on Amazon. Scraper API blocks certain social media platforms by default, so keep that in mind. 
-
-ScraperAPI supports four integration methods: a proxy server, SDK, and two API formats (open connection and asynchronous). Asynchronous delivery allows to get results in batches.
-
-The tool’s pricing starts from $49/100,000 API credits. The system uses a different number of credits for specific website groups (like search engines and social media), premium proxies, or JavaScript rendering. The rate can differ up to 75 times based on the target. This makes the service very efficient for scraping simple websites and expensive for protected targets that require JavaScript. 
-
-There’s an option to use the service for free – the plan comes with 1,000 API credits per month and up to 5 concurrent connections. If you need to test the service at a larger scale, there’s a 7-day free trial with 5,000 free requests.
-
-A feature-rich SERP API for parsing major search engines.
-
-Shifter is another proxy provider that offers two scraping APIs: Web Scraping API and SERP API.
-
-With paid plans, you can target 10 locations. The SERP API comes with an in-built parser for most Google properties, Yandex, and Bing.
-
-Shifter allows you to customize requests by selecting a geolocation, device type, establishing sessions, sending cookies or text to the website. The general-purpose API also lets you emulate clicking and scrolling operations when rendering JavaScript, and you can build a custom parser with CSS selectors.
-
-Shifters’ SERP API had the lowest success rate (96.65%) and an average response time – 10.08s – on Google. The Amazon scraper was close behind the best-performing providers – it was twice as fast (5.35s) compared to Google. The provider struggled with social media – it was fast (1.77s when targeting GraphQL endpoint), but the scraper errored out on every third request 
-
-Shifter’s prices start from $44.99. It’s a cheap option if you stick to easy targets. However, the rate goes up when you need optional features like a headless browser or premium proxies.

-
-Many connection requests coming from a single IP address might trigger the web page you’re targeting. But good news – some sites offer sandboxes to practice web scraping. This article will show you the best websites for scraping and what skills you can pick up.
-
-Web scraping is an automated process of extracting large amounts of data from the internet. So, instead of copying all the information by hand, your web scraper downloads the page’s HTML code and parses it (makes the data structured).
-
-Web scraping can be done using scraping libraries (Requests, BeautifulSoup, Cheerio), frameworks like Scrapy and Selenium, custom-built scrapers (ScrapingBee API, Zyte API, Smartproxy’s Web Scraping API), or ready-made scraping tools (ParseHub, Octoparse). Python is probably the most popular programming language for data collection; most web scrapers are python-based.
-
-Various tools are used to cover different parts of the journey. Web scraping frameworks are complete scraping toolsets, whereas standalone libraries usually require other tools to complete your scraper. On the other hand, you don’t even have to know any programming for ready-made scrapers.
-
-Data from different sites can get you useful insights about pricing changes of different products, emerging market trends, competitor activity, and more.
-
-However, even though web scraping is legal, not all web pages allow bot-like activities because they burden web servers. You can always check whether the website allows such activity by typing /robots.txt after the URL.
-
-Unfortunately, most websites you’ll want to scrape won’t be very friendly towards scrapers and will block you without mercy. That’s where proxies come in; they can help you bypass IP blocks.
-
-When your IP gets throttled or blocked, a proxy server immediately changes it to a new one. It’s like a middleman between you and the internet, masking your own address and location.
-
-Suppose you plan to scrape content that isn’t available in your country. With proxies, you can easily access geo-restricted web pages as your IP address will come from a targeted destination. Proxies are usually used for high-volume data collection where you make thousands of connection requests throughout the day.
-
-Toscrape is a web scraping sandbox, ideal for both beginners and advanced scrapers. The website is divided into two parts. The first is a fictional bookstore that offers thousands of books to scrape. The second lists quotes from famous people. It’s one of the most popular websites to scrape and try out your web scraping tools.
-
-Books.toscrape.com allows you to practice many basic skills like extracting data – title, stock availability, price, and authors. It only includes static content, so you can use simple libraries like Requests and Beautiful Soup.
-
-Quotes.toscrape.com introduces multiple endpoints with advanced challenges. It can teach you to log in, scrape JavaScript-generated content with lazy loading and delayed rendering. Simple web scraping libraries may not be enough to complete the tasks, so you’ll want to try out a headless browser.
-
-
-
-Another great sandbox for learning web scraping, Scrapethissite, strongly resembles Toscrape.
-
-If you’re just a beginner, I’d say first cover static data collection with Python. You can learn some basics like scraping tables or titles.
-
-For more advanced data retrieving, this site is also a great place to learn how to scrape dynamically-generated content based on JavaScript. You’re likely to run into gotchas when you start scraping real sites. So go ahead and practice spoofing headers, handling logins and session cookies, passing CSRF tokens, and solving other challenges.
-
-Yahoo!Finance is a perfect place to start practicing web scraping in the real world. It’s a massive database with millions of up-to-date financial records offering the most recent data on the stock market and companies.
-
-What skills can you pick up? The website’s design makes it easy to scrape text since all the elements are in tables and on separate pages. So, you could definitely practice scraping tables and charts.
-
-You can pull stock and financial statement data, price changes, and do some number crunching. I’d recommend structuring web data into a CSV file format or an Excel Spreadsheet to calculate your stock returns in Python.
-
-Wikipedia is ideal for practicing with large amounts of data readily available in standard HTML. You can learn how to deal with identifiers and properties under a specific content unit. Or, you can hone the basics by scraping tables, images and graphs.
-
-However, your access might get blocked if your scraper goes too fast, so tread carefully.
-
-If you���d like to go with forums, I’d say you roll up your sleeves and visit Reddit. The site follows a specific URL format so that users can post images, videos, links, and similar content. You can extract any comment, or image with the most upvotes, identify the most recurring keywords in a subreddit, or analyze the public sentiment behind a piece of news you find interesting.
-
-Web scraping a forum might lead you to a successful business idea, and at the same time, you’ll practice some basics like extracting links, images, usernames, and comments.
-
-However, scraping isn’t that simple after Reddit’s redesign – the website is somewhat tricky. That’s why I’d suggest using the old layout at old.reddit.com.

-A Nike and all-in-one bot with a very respectable history.
-
-Better Nike Bot (or simply the BNB bot) might be one of those names that you’ve been hearing all over, even if you’re just now dipping your toes into the sneaker world. Alongside with BNB’s AIO Bot, Better Nike Bot seems to be well established amongst sneakerheads and resellers alike. 
-
-However, with quite a few different shoe bots floating around nowadays, it can get a bit confusing sometimes. Let’s try and narrow down the pool of decisions for you  In this Better Nike Bot review, we’ll have a look at its perks, limitations, pricing, and see if it’s really worth it.
-
-The original BNB bot comes as a one-off purchase for $200. This version is only meant for Nike.com and Nike SNKRS, so if you’re after different brands, it might not be for you. However, BNB has thought of everything, and has a different version – BNB All in One. It supports a wider range of footsites (but not Nike). The price for this version is the same as the original, so it’s all up to you to decide what goods you’re really after.
-
-Speaking of versions, BNB has two more out: BNB Ultimate and BNB All in One Ultimate. And no, it’s not an energy drink or a protein bar, it’s just the classic BNB (or BNB AIO) on steroids. Instead of running your bot on a single PC, the Ultimate versions allow up to 3 PCs to have a bot running, free updates for a whole year and a whitelabel email feature amongst other niceties. The Ultimate version comes to $600 as a one-off purchase.
-
-All in all, the Ultimate versions seem to be aimed more toward hardcore resellers while the original BNB and BNB AIO targets solo hustlers and sneakerheads. 
-
-All BNB versions are meant for Windows. You can make them work on Macs as well with some help from a virtual machine. However, unlike other shoe bots that are meant for Windows only (such as ANB and AIO), BNB doesn’t really advertise any tutorials or offer help with setting up the virtual machine. That’s not a big deal at all, just would have been a nice touch. 
-
-One of the best features in all versions is the unlimited account creation (of course, the Ultimate version takes it up a notch with letting you create new accounts on the daily). Also, the original BNB version has a SNKRS calendar and SMS features integrated, so you will never miss a drop or a successful account creation. 
-
-Another interesting feature of BNB is that it doesn’t use a browser for check-out, which makes the checkout process faster. On the other hand, it also increases the fail rate quite a bit. So it’s a true 50/50 situation. 
-
-BNB also has such features as a bulk task editor and keyword monitor, so you won’t have to worry about missing a surprise drop. BNB AIO has similar features as well (except, of course, without supporting Nike sites). Additionally, it includes an automatic (and manual) CAPTCHA solver, and a keyword monitor specifically for Supreme.
-
-It seems like BNB’s customer service has a lot of areas of expertise covered. They claim to have SNKRS, proxy, GS Size, and Twitter API support which is quite a lot of different areas to specialize in. After buying the bot, you also receive access to a Discord server.
-
-Before you buy anything, the BNB team can only be reached via email. That’s a bit disappointing, but not the worst case scenario.
-
-As a rule of thumb, I will always recommend going for residential sneaker proxies when it comes to shoe bots. Even if we’re looking a bit broader at all kinds of bots, your safest choice will always be residential proxies. 
-
-Why? Because this way you minimize the chances of getting blocked. Residential proxies are IP addresses of real-life devices, so websites are unable to tell them apart from real users.
-
-You might go for datacenter proxies as well – some people do, given how nice they sound in theory due to their speed. However, be cautious with them because if one IP gets blocked, you’re risking your whole subnet to get blocked as well and your tasks failing immediately.
-
-Now that you know what Better Nike Bot is all about, let’s go over the things you should keep in mind when deciding if BNB is the right fit for you.
-
-All in all, I see BNB as a good starting point if you’re completely new to the sneakers game. Even though it has a few drawbacks, I’d say that they’re not so big that could scare away a beginner. Is it the best bot for Nike currently on the market? Doubtfully. But it’s better to test out new waters with something cheap yet solid before investing more money straight away.
-
-If you want to cop Nike, doubtfully. Better Nike Bot has been having a hard time carting limited SNKRS releases for a long time now. The AIO version is better but still not the best there are.
-
-No, it’s Windows only. But you can use it via a sneaker server.
-
-You can take a look at our list of the best sneaker proxies to find out.

-Rayobyte’s datacenter and ISP products give compelling reasons to choose them, but the other services and user experience need work. 
-
-Use the code PROXYWAY to get a 5% discount.
-
-Rayobyte has built an impressive infrastructure of datacenter proxies. Pretty much unlimited and reasonably priced, they send a strong statement both to mid-range and premium proxy competitors.
-
-But Rayobyte’s ambitions don’t end here: the provider has expanded its line-up to cover most proxy types. You may now choose from non-expiring residential proxies or static addresses from major ISPs. The company tries to further sway your feelings by mentioning its American roots and positioning as an ethical proxy partner.
-
-Should you fall for it? Rayobyte’s improvements since 2022 have earned it our Greatest Progress award. But the industry isn’t standing still, either. So let’s find out how the company compares to the biggest players like Bright Data and Smartproxy.
-
-Blazing SEO Rebrands and Becomes Rayobyte
-
-Proxy Ethicality: Interview with Blazing SEO
-
-Blazing SEO Raises Funds to Support Its Stranded Ukrainian Team
-
-ResidentialISP (shared, dedicated, rotating)Mobile
-
-Rayobyte is a US-based proxy provider established in 2015. It belongs to the Sprious group, which offers web scraping, data intelligence, and hosting services.  
-
-Rayobyte’s main product is dedicated datacenter proxies. Lately, the company has been branching out to ISP, residential, and mobile proxies as well. Other than proxies, you can get a general-purpose web scraping API with data parsing capabilities for Google and Amazon. 
-
-Before its rebranding in July 2022, Rayobyte was known as Blazing SEO. True to its name, the company started out targeting search engine marketers. Back in 2015, it had already laid out many of the building blocks that made the company successful. The IPs were on fast 1 Gbps lines; you could get them delivered and replaced nearly instantly; and they cost well below what people expected to pay for dedicated proxies – from $1.2 to as little as $0.65 per IP. 
-
-There was also the human factor. The owner, Neil, would personally frequent online forums. He’d answer questions and help people solve issues in an honest and no-nonsense manner. This inspired confidence and propped up the still new service. 
-
-Since then, Rayobyte has scaled up significantly. Its network of datacenter proxies now reaches 300,000 IPs throughout nine ASNs, hosted in self-owned data centers. It’s enough for Rayobyte to call itself the “largest American proxy provider”. The other products still have ways to go – Rayobyte has only begun building its own residential and mobile IP networks. 
-
-Nowadays, the company puts a lot of effort into highlighting openness and ethicality (you can read Neil’s opinion piece on ethicality here or watch our interview here). It’s also repositioned to be more enterprise-friendly, betting big on clients that need a trustworthy provider of proxy infrastructure (or, in their own terms, a proxy partner). And even though Rayobyte has lost some of its pricing edge, the current pricing plans still accommodate all customers wanting to try out the service.
-
-According to Rayobyte, it controls over 300,000 datacenter IPs. You can get lists of shared, dedicated addresses, or a fixed-size proxy pool that periodically rotates, depending on your budget and needs.
-
-The proxies are spread around 20,000 C-class subnets throughout nine different ASNs, ensuring a diverse variety of addresses that’s less likely to get mass banned. Few providers can match this scale, aside from proxy giants like Oxylabs and Bright Data. 
-
-Rayobyte stresses that it has end-to-end control over the hardware. This should mean quicker troubleshooting and ability to fine-tune the service to your needs.
-
-
-				Three options with very few limitations. 			
-
-Type: shared, dedicated, rotatingRotation: 10-100 mins (rotating plans only)Locations: 9 (shared), 25+ (dedicated), 3 (rotating)
-
-Limitations: Unlimited traffic, threads, domainsProtocols: HTTP(S), SOCKS5Authentication: Credentials, IP whitelisting
-
-You can get dedicated IPs in 27 countries. Many of the proxies will be in the US, but you can also choose from a fair number of Western European, Southern American, and Southeast Asian countries. The semi-dedicated proxies support nine locations (US, Brazil, Western Europe), and the rotating ones only three (US, Germany, Brazil). In some countries – mainly the US – you can further specify a city. 
-
-The service is pretty much unlimited: it doesn’t impose restrictions on threads, traffic, or domains (as long as you’re good with the terms of service). Some other providers like MyPrivateProxy limit the number of threads to 100.
-
-If you choose the rotating plan, you’ll get access to a backconnect gateway server with different ports. It will grant you a proxy pool with 20 times the number of ports you buy: 2,000 IPs for 100 ports, and so on. After 10-100 minutes, the IP address behind the gateway server will change.
-
-The semi-dedicated and dedicated proxies come in a list and don’t rotate. You can opt to refresh the full list after the billing cycle for free. Alternatively, you can refresh individual IPs whenever you like. This also costs nothing, as long as the number of monthly refreshes remains within your plan’s size. 
-
-Be aware that the system automatically chooses proxies from various subnets based on your location preferences. You can then replace the ones that don’t work until you find a subnet that manages to complete the job. So, it’s pretty much a trial-and-error approach. It’s possible to choose one location when buying a plan.
-
-
-				Accessible for users of all sizes but the plans are very broad.			
-
-Model: IPs, ports (rotating)
-
-Trial: 2-day refund for 5 IPs
-
-Rayobyte’s datacenter proxies use a subscription-based pricing model. You can get proxies for a month, three months, six months, or a year. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper it gets, up to a 15% discount for a year’s commitment.
-
-The datacenter proxies are priced by IP address, with the exception of rotating datacenter proxies, which charge for ports. There are four plans that cover ranges of IPs; as with duration, each plan offers a larger discount:
-
-The third factor to influence the price is IP location. Proxies in the US are generally cheaper than in other countries, likely because Rayobyte finds them easier to source. At its worst, the difference in price can reach 75% (US versus Australian dedicated proxies).
-
-Overall, the plans are fairly priced if you fall into the lower range, for example, 105 IPs. However, they’re so broad that at 900 IPs you’ll still be paying the same rate. At this point, Rayobyte starts charging more than even premium providers.
-
-It’s also interesting that the dedicated proxies actually used to cost much less than they do now. A few years ago, you could get 5 proxies for $6, which translates to merely $1.2/IP. It looks like Rayobyte’s investments into infrastructure and company growth took a toll on the price.
-
-It’s hard to compare the rotating proxy plans, as competitors tend to offer them by traffic (e.g. Smartproxy and Bright Data) or give access to the full pool and limit the number of parallel connections (Storm Proxies).
-
-
-				    Aced our tests.			
-
-#1: Download speed
-
-We benchmarked 10 random IPs using DigitalOcean’s 100 MB NYC benchmark.
-
-#2: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Rayobyte’s ISP proxies are like a stripped-down version of the datacenter service. This isn’t necessarily bad – it just means that the provider hasn’t had the time to bring the service up to a similar scale. It also owes to the fact that ISP proxies are much harder to source. 
-
-Like with datacenter proxies, you can choose to share the IP with several other people or buy addresses dedicated to your personal use. Rayobyte recently introduced a third option that resembles NetNut’s approach (a pool of rotating addresses). But it’s still very new and the information is lacking. 
-
-
-				    Pretty much unlimited if you’re fine with the few locations.			
-
-IPs: UnknownType: Shared, dedicatedFormat: IP listLocations: US; UK, Canada & Germany dedicated only
-
-IP replacement: Free monthlyProtocols: HTTP(S), SOCKS5Authentication: Credentials, IP whitelisting
-
-Compared to Rayobyte’s datacenter proxies, or premium competitors like Oxylabs and Bright Data, the location coverage is skimpy. It’s either the US, UK, Canada, or Germany – or only the first one if you go with shared IPs. On the bright side, it’s possible to choose particular cities; once again, the feature is available only for American addresses.
-
-Rayobyte currently advertises nine ASNs, including such consumer internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon. We found this to be true.
-
-It’s possible to replace the proxies free of charge once per month. This feature wasn’t available earlier, so it’s a nice addition to the product.
-
-
-				    No need to invest much but the price per unit is expensive. 			
-
-Rayobyte’s ISP proxy plans follow a very similar structure compared to the datacenter proxies. They charge for IPs, and subscribing for longer gives you a bigger discount (up to 8%). They also have the same pricing tiers:
-
-Overall, these proxies are significantly more expensive than Rayobyte’s datacenter addresses: they start from $5 for a dedicated IP, and half that for a shared one. However, they’re also much harder to source and perform better.
-
-There are two more differences. One for the worse: the discounts here are much skimpier, and one for the better: with the ISP proxies, all locations cost the same.
-
-Overall, Rayobyte’s ISP proxies are among the more expensive options in the market. Other vendors, especially former sneaker proxy sellers, are able to offer quality addresses up to several times cheaper.
-
-
-				    Impeccable.			
-
-#1: IP type
-
-We benchmarked the IPs using the IP2Location database to see how many of them were identified as residential addresses (ISP, ISP/MOB, or MOB categories).
-
-#2: Download speed
-
-We benchmarked 10 random IPs using DigitalOcean’s 100 MB NYC benchmark.

-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Rayobyte’s residential proxies are pretty new, so it’s a good idea to treat them as a work in progress for now. The provider sources the IPs via a proxyware app called Cash Raven, and it also resells other proxy suppliers. There’s a lot of emphasis on ethics with this particular service, meaning that the number of supported use cases may be limited.
-
-
-				    A competent set of features for a mid-range provider. 			
-
-Format: Proxy pool with an unspecified number of IPsLocations: 150+Filtering: Country, state, cityRotation: Every request, as long as available
-
-The service covers over 100 locations, with the ability to filter individual countries and cities. Rayobyte expects to bring ASN filtering in the future. By default the IPs rotate with every connection request; you can keep them until they go offline but there’s no way select custom rotation intervals.
-
-Solely from the standpoint of features, it’s a competent service that can stand up to most competitors.
-
-
-				    Questionable worth at the lower end but the plans scale very well. 			
-
-Rayobyte uses an interesting system for its residential proxies, where it’s not quite pay-as-you-go (as there’s no going), but neither a subscription. You simply buy the amount of traffic you need, and it stays there until you use it.
-
-The cost per unit depends how much you’re willing to spend. Rayobyte has traffic ranges after which the price decreases. For example, buying between 1 and 15 GBs will cost you $15/GB, between 16 and 49 gigabytes – $12.50/GB, and so on.
-
-It’s a good idea to get more in advance, even if you’re not planning to use that traffic very soon. There is an option to automatically buy extra at a specified threshold. But it follows the same traffic range rules, once again favoring bulk purchases.
-
-In relation to other mid-range and premium providers, Rayobyte starts looking attractive once you buy 100 GB and more. However, the entry plans face tough competition. For example, if you need up to 15 GB of data, both Oxylabs and Bright Data charge less. It makes little sense to choose Rayobyte over them for now.
-
-
-				    Robust infrastructure with some proxy pool shenanigans.			
-
-We tested Rayobyte’s residential proxies in March 2023, for the annual Proxy Market Research.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 1M requests over 21 days using the unfiltered pool, 500,000 requests over 14 days using the country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Rayobyte’s mobile proxies use a clever configuration: they combine dedicated devices with peer-to-peer IPs from real people. At this point, we’d say that the device-based proxies still make up the bulk of the proxy network.
-
-Normally, such services are sold to social media managers. They have no traffic limits and focus on providing one IP at a time that you can rotate at will. Here, however, the IPs rotate with high frequency, making them suitable for web scraping.
-
-Rayobyte constantly restarts the devices, forcing mobile carriers to assign them a new address. This creates an interesting scenario: you’ll quickly deplete IPs if you scrape in short bursts; but the proxy pool becomes pretty large throughout longer stretches of time. As a result, the service is best suited for web scraping specialists that work on a smaller scale.
-
-
-				    All the basics in the box.			
-
-Rayobyte’s mobile proxy network comes with the required functionality to be useful for the majority of tasks. You can choose from over 100 countries, then further pick a state and city. The rotation options include sticky sessions, and there’re no theoretical limits on how many connections you can establish.
-
-The two main missing features are SOCKS5 support, as well as ASN filtering.
-
-
-				A tough sell.			
-
-The mobile proxy plans follow a subscription model. At $50, they have the steepest entry price out of Rayobyte’s all products. They’re also the most expensive per unit.
-
-The provider’s rates used to be cheaper than most similar services. In 2024, they’re still relatively affordable, but with multiple competitors reducing their rates, the pricing has become dangerously close to Smartproxy and Bright Data. These companies have larger and more established proxy networks, which makes Rayobyte a tough sell.
-
-
-				    An imbalanced but decently performing proxy network. 			
-
-We tested Rayobyte’s mobile proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 280,000 requests over 14 days using the unfiltered pool and country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-On the brighter side, Rayobyte’s success rate was on par with premium competitors, placing it straight in the middle. Something went terribly wrong with Australia, but this seems like a exception rather than the norm. The response times, however, were the slowest of the bunch.
-
-These results might not look impressive. But compared to 2022, the mobile proxy network has improved by leaps and bounds. It’s now perfectly serviceable for real work.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-The proxies also translated well to real targets. With the exception of Google, they were able to open most websites over 90% of the time. This is an above-average result for our web scraper.
-
-
-				    A disjointed but generally well-made experience.			
-
-This section shows what it’s like to use Rayobyte’s service, from registration to customer service.
-
-Before we begin, I should note that the provider actually has two dashboards – one for its datacenter and ISP proxies, and the second one for the residential product. This complicates things and makes it seem like you’re using different services.
-
-The registration procedure depends on which proxy type you get.
-
-To buy datacenter or IP-based ISP proxies, you have to complete a lengthy form. The registration is paired with purchase, so even if you opt for a trial, you’ll need to select a package, location, and amount of IPs.
-
-To get residential proxies, you’ll need to enter an email and password, then confirm the registration via email. Rayobyte will automatically assign 50 MB of traffic to the account. To get more, it’s necessary to complete a KYC form which asks for a name, use case, targets, and bandwidth requirements.
-
-Rayobyte’s beta-level products, namely its mobile and rotating ISP proxies, give you a form to fill in and ask to wait until someone contacts you.
-
-Rayobyte’s datacenter and ISP proxy dashboard doesn’t look very modern, but it includes everything needed to work with proxies. You can buy a plan, authorize and manage the proxy servers, view invoices, and contact support. You won’t find any usage metrics, but unlimited traffic makes this feature less relevant.
-
-Rayobyte supports full self-service for its datacenter and static ISP proxy plans. There’s no wallet functionality, meaning that any change to the subscription will require a new transaction. Rayobyte lists invoices in a separate tab called Billing.
-
-Another interesting feature – particularly because you can do it on your own – is upgrading or downgrading a plan. Simply enter the number of IPs you want to add or discard, and the system will make the changes for you. No need to contact support. Just note that you can only beef up your existing plan this way: it doesn’t seem possible to add German IPs if you have a US-based package.
-
-Finally, you can request to cancel the service through the dashboard. It will ensure that subscription won’t renew after the 30 day billing period.
-
-After you’ve authenticated via a username:password or whitelisting an IP, you can simply copy proxies from a list of addresses on the dashboard. It’s nice that you can see the location associated with each address. You can export the list if needed, but the output format will no longer display the location of the IPs. There’s also a homemade tool for filtering out bad IPs – a convenient touch.
-
-If the proxy server supports it, the dashboard allows choosing a particular city within the country it’s located. 
-
-If an IP doesn’t work the way you want it, you can replace it. Simply hit a button, and within 30 minutes, a new one will appear in the old one’s place. Or, enter a list of proxies into the text field to substitute them en masse. A replacement is available once every 30 days.
-
-The dashboard also has a tab called Proxy Settings/API. There, you can do four things:
-
-Rayobyte’s decision to build a separate dashboard for residential proxies isn’t convenient, especially if you use several proxy types at once. It requires creating a new account and follows a different design language.
-
-I do understand the reasoning, given how ingrained datacenter proxies are into the other panel, and how awkward it would’ve been to just tack on a new product. However, this dashboard also seems to service Rayobyte’s beta-level mobile and rotating ISP products – which, ironically, seem tacked on themselves in their current implementation.
-
-In any case, the residential dashboard does its job: it lets you authorize access, set up the proxy server, track and top up balance, and access relevant help docs.
-
-Rayobyte’s residential dashboard has a separate tab with three pages for subscription management. On the first page page, you can buy traffic, but only once you go through a KYC procedure.
-
-On the second page, you can trigger automatic top-ups after reaching a set balance threshold. It’s possible to specify by how much to top up. The feature could use improvements. There’s no wallet functionality and the system doesn’t respect your previous purchases: if you bought 100 GB at $6/GB, topping up 5 GB will cost $15/GB.
-
-The third page is dedicated to billing history. In other words, it shows your transactions and generates downloadable invoices.
-
-Rayobyte has a widget for generating proxy lists based on the parameters you choose. These include location filtering, choosing whether to hold a sticky session, and your preferred authentication type.
-
-Then, you can generate 10, 100, 1,000, or 10,000 endpoints in several formats. There’s also a dynamic cURL example for quickly testing the configuration.
-
-The widget works well, but it isn’t perfect. For one, it could use integration examples in more programming languages. And it wasn’t able to properly generate a proxy list with IP whitelist selected as the authentication type.
-
-Rayobyte provides a graph that shows traffic use during last month in kilobytes. For now, it’s not possible to select different time ranges or change the unit of measurement.
-
-In addition, the dashboard has a page that shows the list of domains you accessed. There are four periods to choose from (last minute, hour, 24 hours, day). More frequented domains appear higher up, but you can’t see the actual number of requests made.
-
-Proxy Pilot is a middleware tool for Rayobyte’s proxy networks. It performs two functions:
-
-For now, Proxy Pilot comes free of charge. If it works well, it can create a lot of value for Rayobyte’s proxies, making them very cost-efficient. Or, at least reduce some web scraping induced headaches. 
-
-The issue with Proxy Pilot in its current form is that it needs to decrypt passing traffic like a man-in-the-middle-attack. This sounds intimidating and requires a level of trust that not everyone would be willing to give to a proxy provider. 
-
-To keep you informed about its services, Rayobyte has an arsenal of guides in text and video formats. They’re peppered throughout the dashboard in strategic positions; but you can also access the guides in one place, by visiting Rayobyte’s knowledge base. The informational content does a great job answering common questions you might encounter. 
-
-The documentation is very much biased toward the datacenter and ISP services. It provides the necessary information about Rayobyte’s residential proxies and skips the beta-level products entirely.
-
-If you find yourself with technical issues – or just wanting some human contact – Rayobyte offers 24/7 customer support. You can contact it via email, ticketing system, or live chat. During my writing of this review, the live chat functionality didn’t work.
-
-I tried reaching out via the ticketing system. It took me roughly two hours to receive a reply, which came at around 3AM for the customer success agent. Our conversation went back and forth several times; and while the answers were direct and competent, each further response took a similar time (2 hours) to arrive, even after the agents changed shifts. I suppose they didn’t treat my questions as urgent technical issues – which they weren’t. 
-
-Gone are the days when Neil sat in forums answering questions about a freshly-baked proxy service. Rayobyte has grown into a bustling company with over 30 people. 
-
-If you need dedicated datacenter proxies, Rayobyte can give you several strong reasons to choose it over the competition: perhaps not always the price, but definitely its flexibility and hands-on approach. 20,000 subnets are nothing to scoff at, even if the system that distributes them requires some trial and error. 
-
-The marketing front (ethics and all the light metaphors) looks very compelling as well, whether you’re a part-time web scraper or an enterprise looking to scale its data collection efforts. 
-
-On the user experience side, the provider gives a lot of control to customers and makes sure to help every step of their journey with extensive documentation. The customer support lacks a live chat, but I was told it was temporary. 
-
-Overall, Rayobyte is a strong datacenter proxy provider, whether you need five or five thousand IPs. Its ISP proxies show great promise as well. As for the other products, they seem production ready but not yet at the level of top providers. 
-
-Oxylabs is a premium option with a larger proxy pool and better performance. It also offers an arsenal of web scraping tools to help you extract data easier.

-Nothing special about these guys. They have a large presence in the web hosting / IP forums and discussion, mainly due to their spam advertising. They send regular updates about their inventory, mark up the costs of course. Not worth the money.
-
-I don’t recommend you use Rayobyte, their system is the worst I’ve ever used, as you’ll see when you buy a proxy.

-Bright Data has many features and an impressive data collection infrastructure. However, its prices and usage terms are not for everyone.
-
-Get $250 extra when you add $250 to your account.
-
-When it comes to proxies, Bright Data is one of those default options that you compare others against. It has everything for everyone (minus the shadier use cases), a proven history, and strong brand visibility. The company also offers robust management tools for enterprise clients, constantly reinforcing them with novel features. For this, it received our Most Innovative Provider award in 2023.
-
-So, is Bright Data a no-brainer? Not necessarily. Despite all it offers, the company can’t be the best in all scenarios. That’s where cheaper or more specialized providers find their opportunity to slip through. And in recent years, the competition has only become tougher, especially in Bright Data’s prized enterprise segment. 
-
-Today, we’ll try to identify those cracks and how they can impact your decision. The review includes general information, as well as in-depth performance benchmarks based on weeks of testing. Let’s begin!
-
-Bright Data Reduces Residential Proxy Prices by 20%
-
-Meta Drops the Case Against Bright Data
-
-Judge Sides with Bright Data in the Case against Meta
-
-Bright Data is an Israeli provider of data collection infrastructure established in 2014. It’s currently owned by a UK-based equity firm called EMK Capital. The company offers access to every kind of proxy server, multiple data collection APIs, a cloud-based tool for developing scrapers on Bright Data’s infrastructure, and even pre-collected data sets.
-
-Most old-timers remember Bright Data by a different name, Luminati. The company rebranded in early 2021, citing negative connotations associated with the name. (To be fair, Luminati does sound awfully familiar to a famous organization.)
-
-Being a general-purpose provider, Bright Data tries to serve every use case it deems acceptable. The list includes many forms of web scraping for price comparison, SEO, and other purposes – even sneaker copping is on the table. But as far as proxy providers go, Bright Data is considered very strict, and it won’t hesitate to deny questionable uses. 
-
-Bright Data was one of the first services to introduce residential proxies – IPs borrowed from computers and phones of real people. At the time when most competitors still sold datacenter IPs, this gave the company a big advantage and allowed it to grow into a leading proxy provider. Despite tightening competition, Bright Data remains one to this day, boasting top universities and Fortune 500 companies among its clients.
-
-Bright Data also cares deeply about the ethical aspect of sourcing and using proxies. It was among the first to openly talk about how it acquires residential IPs. What’s more, it has strict procedures for vetting customers and preventing abuse (you can watch our video interview on ethics with Bright Data’s CEO here). The company even went as far as to reduce its proxy pool by 10% to cut off unethical partners. Despite this, Bright Data has had its share of controversy over the years, such as with Hola VPN or piracy app Mobdro.
-
-For the last few years, Bright Data has been expanding its scope of services. While proxies remain important, they now have to share focus with other tools. Bright Data’s end goal is to become the go-to source for web data, whether you’re a developer or a company with no web scraping experience.
-
-Bright Data offers several configurations of datacenter proxies.
-
-Bright Data has a unified system, so many of the features overlap among the three types. In general, you get wide location coverage, unlimited threads, and SOCKS5 support.
-
-Furthermore, all three products have the ability to rotate, or you can choose to send multiple requests with a particular address. In any case, you connect through Bright Data’s load balancing gateway rather than the proxy server directly.
-
-The main difference is that the Pay per IP service lets you specify how many proxies you need in particular locations. So instead of getting a randomly distributed proxy pool, you can simply buy 20,000 IPs in the US.
-
-In addition, it’s possible to make Pay per IP proxies dedicated for all or some domains, and select them from different cities. And finally, there’s a free toggle called 100% uptime – if a proxy goes down, Bright Data automatically replaces it with a different one with the same parameters.
-
-Note that Bright Data assigns datacenter proxies automatically, which may lead to some bad seeds (as we’ll see in the performance benchmarks). You may have to refresh some IPs once or twice (this is paid) until you find the perfect configuration.
-
-You can pay for all three products as you go or commit to a fixed plan. The first option is pretty unusual for datacenter addresses. But as always, it costs more per unit than a subscription.
-
-Unlike many competitors, Bright Data prices its IP-based service based not only proxy count but also traffic use. It’s possible to select unlimited traffic, but this significantly increases the price. So does making a proxy dedicated.
-
-In a broader context, Bright Data’s traffic-based datacenter proxies are priced competitively. With the IP-based product, it depends: the barebones version is cheap, but the maxed out unlimited traffic and domains configuration costs more than most.
-
-We last tested Bright Data’s 50,000 shared and 100 dedicated US proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Infrastructure performance (shared Pay per IP proxies)
-
-We ran 50,000 connection requests using Bright Data’s US-located shared proxies. Our computer was in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-The shared proxies worked effectively without fail, and the vast majority of our requests reached the target. They also had relatively low latency, with a response time below one second. Competing services from Smartproxy and Rayobyte achieved similar results.
-
-#2: Download speed
-
-We tested 10 shared and 10 dedicated IPs using DigitalOcean’s 100 MB NYC benchmark.
-
-Both proxy types were very fast, nearly reaching our download speed without proxy servers. They should have enough bandwidth for streaming and other traffic-intensive tasks.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Bright Data controls a network of 72 million monthly residential IPs. For a long while, it used to be the largest proxy pool on the market, and it still remains among the biggest options.
-
-The provider sources these IPs – as well as its mobile proxies – through Bright VPN, the bandwidth-sharing application EarnApp, and developers that add the provider’s Bright SDK to their software.
-
-Format: Proxy pool with 72M IPsLocations: All countriesFiltering: Country, state, city, ASN, ZIP codeRotation: Every request, sessions, customizable with Proxy Manager
-
-Bright Data’s residential proxies are stacked with features. You can filter them up to ASN and ZIP code level for very granular location targeting. The rotation options, while basic using only the dashboard, become highly customizable once you fire up the provider’s proxy manager. There are no concurrency limits, as long as you have enough balance in your account.
-
-The residential proxies also support the SOCKS5 protocol. But there are two big conditions: 1) you have to use the proxy manager; 2) most of the ports are closed by default, and you have to contact Bright Data’s team to open more.
-
-In addition, Bright Data offers some unique features. For example, you can opt to receive cached pages if someone had opened those URLs within several hours. This can potentially return results faster and reduce your expenditure by 5%. Or, you can get a group of IPs with identical parameters for your exclusive use with certain domains.
-
-Note that Bright Data blocks some targets by default, including Google.
-
-You can use the residential proxies without commitment or get a plan. If you do, the rate can become up to 35% cheaper. You can further reduce it by opting for a yearly contract.
-
-Like most similar services, Bright Data only considers traffic use. You can try out the Micro package at $5.04/GB, but it only caps at $10. Otherwise, a gigabyte starts from $8.40 for the basic configuration. Enabling features like city or ZIP code targeting doubles the price.
-
-Even without premium functionality, Bright Data is among the most expensive options until enterprise levels of scale. With it, the difference becomes significant enough to seriously consider the service.
-
-We last tested Bright Data’s residential proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 1M requests over 21 days using the unfiltered pool, 500,000 requests over 14 days using the country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-Bright Data’s infrastructure performed very well throughout the testing period. All but one location ensured over 99% success rate, and our average response time was between 0.5 and 1.6 seconds. Few providers beat those numbers, and the majority trailed behind.
-
-On the other hand, Bright Data’s results changed little in a year, while its major competitors Oxylabs, SOAX, and Smartproxy made significant improvements.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-The residential proxies had strong results with all tested websites. Unfortunately, we couldn’t use them with Google, as the provider blocks this target, prompting customers to use SERP API instead.
-
-Bright Data controls a network of 7 million monthly mobile IPs. These are peer-to-peer proxies – they’re borrowed from the mobile phones of real users and not USB dongle farms.
-
-Format: Proxy pool with 7M IPsLocations: All countriesFiltering: Country, state, city, ASN, ZIP codeRotation: Every request, sessions, customizable with Proxy Manager
-
-Threads: UnlimitedTraffic: Plan basedSOCKS5: ✅Authentication: Credentials, IP whitelistOther: Request caching, dedicated IPs
-
-The mobile functionality mirrors that of Bright Data’s residential product. You can filter the IPs up to a very precise level, rotate the servers on every request or establish customizable sticky sessions. Bright Data doesn’t cap the number of parallel requests, supports SOCKS5, and includes its unique features like request caching and dedicated addresses.
-
-On a negative note, the service also blocks Google by default.
-
-You can use Bright Data’s mobile proxies without subscription or commit to pay a set amount every billing period. The second option makes the rate up to 35% cheaper (or 45% if paying annually).
-
-The provider charges for traffic only unless you want to enable the features it consider premium. These are mostly filtering options, and they double the price. Dedicated addresses also charge more compared to the base service.
-
-After a price revision in the summer of 2023, Bright Data’s mobile proxies have become very competitive in the premium segment if you’re content with country-level targeting. Otherwise, they’re still the most expensive option.
-
-We last tested Bright Data’s mobile proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 280,000 requests over 14 days using the unfiltered pool and country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-Bright Data’s infrastructure performance was a mixed bag. On the one hand, it did very well in the unfiltered pool test. On the other hand, the mobile proxies completely broke down when filtered for American IPs. The main culprit was the 502 error, which meant that the provider had no IPs available at the time.
-
-That aside, Bright Data’s performance was good but not the best.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-The issue with Bright Data’s US proxies (too few available IPs) carried on to our target test. Between a half and two thirds of our requests failed, which isn’t good at all. To be fair, we may have benchmarked the service at the worst possible time for Bright Data, and we don’t expect this to be its usual performance. But to confirm our hypothesis, we’d need to test the proxies again.
-
-You can register with Bright Data by entering your first and last name, work email, and company size. If you have particularly large or custom needs, you can schedule a call. The login options include the credentials you’ve created, as well as Google and Okta SSO.
-
-Bright Data is known to be strict about compliance, especially if you use its peer-to-peer proxy networks. That said, the provider recently simplified the process: it now allows you to reach over 200 websites via residential proxies without undergoing the full KYC. Otherwise, you’ll be asked to present your personal details, add some money to the account, and wait up to three days for verification.
-
-Bright Data’s dashboard used to be full of options and pretty overbearing. After several revamps, the provider simplified it to two main sections for managing the products, another for billing, and one more for account controls. The complexity is still there, but most of it is tucked away behind several levels of navigation. 
-
-You’ll be able to do everything from adding money to your account, setting up & authorizing proxies to viewing usage statistics and contacting support. 
-
-Security is another priority. Bright Data lets you give different access levels to your team, set up 2FA, see the event log, and receive automated notifications related to subscription and proxy use.
-
-One more useful feature is network status. It shows the uptime of each service in real time and can notify you via email if something goes down. 
-
-The dashboard is available in six languages, including Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese.
-
-Unlike most proxy providers, Bright Data uses a custom system for proxies called Zones. A zone works like a plan. It’s possible create multiple zones for each proxy type and even have separate zones with identical configurations. You can assign spending limits (based on traffic or money) for each zone, as well as track your expenditure throughout the month. 
-
-Another unconventional decision is that Bright Data has no separate plans for each product. Instead, a plan applies to all services depending on how much money you commit. You can change the plan in the Billing section.
-
-But that’s not all. The Billing section provides detailed information about your subscription and money use. You can find your current balance, active plan, invoices, and configure payment methods. The provider also includes a visual cost explorer and, in a nice gesture for accountants, allows you to specify invoice recipients.
-
-To do anything with proxies on Bright Data’s platform, you first have to create a zone.
-
-This involves selecting a proxy type and adding additional permissions, if any. The configuration wizard will show you an estimated cost based on your choices. The final step is to name the zone and confirm its creation. 
-
-For example, suppose I wanted rotating residential proxies for a small project. I’d choose the Residential zone. Under Permissions, country targeting would be enough for me; otherwise, I could enable states, cities, ASNs, and ZIP codes as extras. Then, I’d choose shared IPs, as I don’t need them for my exclusive use. At last, I’d press Add Zone.
-
-After creating a zone, you’ll need to integrate the proxies. Bright Data offers three integration methods: through gateway servers (which the provider calls Super Proxies), Proxy Manager, or a Chrome extension. 
-
-The Super Proxy method works similarly to other proxy providers. You get an interactive widget that generates gateway addresses in the hostname:port format. It’s possible to select a zone and filter the proxies by location, which automatically reflects in the username.
-
-Bright Data’s widget also provides dynamic code samples for major programming languages like Python, PHP, and Node.JS. You can select from several pre-sets, such as using proxies with a sticky session or quickly rotating between IPs. 
-
-Bright Data uses one system for all proxy products. So even its Pay per IP datacenter proxies have to connect through gateway servers. This increases complexity, but it’s still possible to create a static session or even pinpoint a particular IP address. 
-
-The second method lets you control proxies with a piece of software called Proxy Manager. It’s an open source tool available on all operating systems and in the cloud.
-
-In a nutshell, Proxy Manager makes every aspect of your work with the proxies better. It replaces the (still somewhat limited) usage statistics with detailed live logs; it allows better management of rotation settings (the dashboard is pretty meh in this regard); and it enables SOCKS5 for those who need it. These are just the basics.
-
-One interesting feature is the Proxy Waterfall. Basically, whenever you make a request to a website, it first goes via the least effective (and cheapest) proxy network. If that fails, the system tries again with another proxy type, until you succeed. 
-
-While that does sound nice in theory, I can see a few caveats: first, you’ll need to subscribe to multiple IP networks at once; second, this approach can be slower, so it could make sense to use the waterfall for gauging the tolerance level of a domain. 
-
-The breadth of features Proxy Manager offers is truly huge. They might help you, or simply confuse you, but they’re there. I’m just not sure how I feel about the fact that you need this tool for such simple things as adjusting the rotation time.
-
-The third way is using a browser extension for Google Chrome. It’s pretty customizable and lets you change your IP address based on a Zone or a location. You can set up sticky sessions and even modify the request headers. Bright Data advertises the extension as a tool for manual scraping, but I think it’s better suited for viewing content rather than extracting it.
-
-Bright Data has put a lot of effort into statistics, with several ways to reach them. 
-
-Each way provides flexible filtering options. You can a time period ranging anywhere between one hour to two years. The metrics include not only bandwidth expenditure but also number of requests, and in some cases error rate. 
-
-If you use Proxy Manager, it’s possible to display its statistics on the dashboard, as well. Bright Data even provides a way to separate API and Proxy Manager traffic in some of the graphs.
-
-Bright Data offers an API for managing the proxy servers programmatically. It’s the most comprehensive and granular API I’ve seen in this industry, and you might have to get a new degree to make full use of it. 
-
-With such a complex service, Bright Data needs to have appropriate documentation to make sense of it. And it does. You’ll find answers and instructions both in text and video formats.
-
-Perhaps your first resource should be Bright Data’s FAQ page. It answers all the basic questions about using the service, and then some. Then, there are webinars – they cover narrower concerns, such as reCAPTCHA avoidance and browser automation. There’s also a video-based learning hub, though it looks pretty much outdated and abandoned in comparison. 
-
-If, by any chance, you won’t find your answer – or simply get lost looking for one – there’s the hands-on support. 
-
-Bright Data offers a ticket system on the dashboard. Customers that commit to a plan also get an account manager. Else, you can contact the provider using WhatsApp, Telegram, and even a phone. 
-
-We found the answering time to be fast: we sent multiple email messages throughout the day, and a reply came in 14 minutes on average. Communication with account managers is even faster, but they don’t work round the clock.
-
-Bright Data calls itself world’s #1 web data platform, and testing it gave me compelling reasons to believe the claim.
-
-The proxy networks Chris and I have tried were excellent: fast, stable, and large. They come full of features, and Bright Data makes sure to provide the tools to make best use of them. Pound for pound, there are few providers that can compare.
-
-However, the privilege comes at a cost. Some may be put off by how technically complex Bright Data is; others may find its compliance process too invasive; but most likely, the main showstopper – if any – will be the price. It’s hard to find a provider that’s more expensive, especially if you require the features Bright Data considers premium (such as unlimited bandwidth for the dedicated proxies).
-
-But if you don’t find price an issue, Bright Data really is one of the best options you can get.
-
-Bright Data’s closest competitor in the premium segment. It offers all the main proxy types and multiple APIs for web scraping, coupled with personalized customer service.

-Smartproxy is a great choice if you want to save some money on rotating proxies. It offers multiple IP types, better prices, and is easier to use in exchange for fewer features.

-Webshare sells affordable residential proxies, but its main highlight is datacenter and ISP proxy servers. If you don’t need the upsells, their price is very hard to beat. 
-
- Read Review
-
-We subjected each provider to extensive performance tests. We first measured their connection speeds and success rates when connecting to local targets in Canada. Our scripts also ran concurrent connection tests where we used up to 500 parallel connections to test how the networks perform under stress. This gave us a chance to test the stability of Canada proxy networks, as well as the overall quality of their proxy pools.
-
-Every Canadian proxy provider in the list performed significantly better than the industry average. They were ranked according to scalability, ease of use and pricing.
-
-Once you sign up for a Canada proxy service, you’ll get access to setup documentation for individual devices and software. While the guides for each proxy provider will differ, every one of them will supply Canadian IP addresses from genuine Canada proxy servers. With the exception of Bright Data, your setup shouldn’t take longer than a couple of minutes.
-
-Using a Canadian proxy server to browse the internet with a Canada IP address will let you to access localized content, such as news and on-demand streaming services. Furthermore, you’ll be able to scrape data from Canadian data sources as if you were in the same country or city. You can also use a Canada proxy to register and manage local social media accounts and even order goods online for prices that are normally restricted to Canadian residents.
-
-There are many free proxy providers out there today. So, why would anyone pay to access a Canada proxy server?
-
-Free proxy networks might seem like a great deal, but they’re actually a massive security risk. If you can’t trust the operator of a proxy server, then you shouldn’t be sending all of your data through it. Free proxy services have been known to steal data from their users, including passwords and other sensitive information.
-
-Use only premium Canada proxy services to stay safe. Every provider on this list is considered safe and trustworthy by the proxy industry.
-
-Every proxy provider on this list will give you access to a high quality and reliable Canada proxy service. If your Canadian IP address is blocked, you can simply rotate to a new one. For businesses that need to scrape local content and run localized market intelligence campaigns, a reliable proxy service is essential. Any of the providers on this list will fit the bill, offering fast speeds and a consistent level of service.

-We ran multiple tests to measure how fast and reliable each provider is. We tracked their connection speeds and success rates when connecting to localized Chinese content. We also considered if they can withstand high loads by running 500 connection requests at the same time.
-
-Our final results combine the performance tests with such criteria like ease of use, pricing and customer support. Every provider on this list offers the best proxies on the market.
-
-You can use a China proxy service with almost any device or software. The precise steps to set up proxies with any of them might vary. But in the end, Chinese proxies will route your connection through IPs that are actually located within China or Hong Kong. This ensures you are assigned a genuine Chinese IP address and won’t get blocked when trying to access Chinese content.
-
-We strongly recommend to avoid free China proxies. You should only use a proxy service if you trust the person or company behind it, especially in China. Its owner can  intercept all data that flows through the server, potentially giving them access to your passwords and other sensitive information. And China is famous for surveillance. Remember: if you aren’t paying for a product, you are the product.
-
-A China proxy server is the ideal way to access content that is region locked to China. You’ll be able to read local news or even set up a WeChat account as if you were a Chinese citizen. You can also use a Chinese proxy server to access local prices or scrape local data.
-
-Anyone can use a China proxy, but you need to be careful about Chinese IP addresses. A proxy server won’t grant you total anonymity online. If you commit any crimes while accessing the internet through a China proxy server, law enforcement agencies can still track you down. Your IP address is only one piece of data that they will use to identify you.
-
-If you connect to the internet through a China proxy, you’ll look like a Chinese citizen. Each of these providers offers a secure and reliable connection and a large IP pool to draw from. If one IP address gets blocked, you can quickly rotate to another one. A strong proxy provider will let you access to localized content while also enabling you to scrape local content for market intelligence. Whatever your reasons, if you need to access the internet with a Chinese IP address, then the CN proxy providers on this list are the best choices available.

-Craigslist proxies change your IP address to make you appear as a different person. They’re very helpful if you want to unblock Craigslist, scrape its postings, or post multiple ads to various locations and without blocks. This page lists some of the best Craigslist proxy providers we’ve encountered during years of testing. They cover various needs and price points, so you should be able to find the right service for you.
-
-The Best Craigslist Proxy Providers – Quick Summary:
-
-You can reap the benefits of Craigslist proxies in many ways; however, the most common uses are posting in different countries and cities than your own locale, bulk posting, and scraping. 
-
-Craigslist operates in 700 cities and 70 countries. As you probably already know, it caters to local communities. That’s why requests from different countries and even cities are restricted. As a result, you won’t be able to post anything on the New York board if you live, say, in the UK. If you try, you’ll find Craigslist blocking your IP address.
-
-Does that mean your business should forgo Craigslist as a sales platform? Not necessarily. Simply use a Craigslist proxy server, and it will make you look like a local. 
-
-Did you know that Craigslist actually allows bulk posting? There are only a few small details. To use the Craigslist API, you have to:
-
-Everyone else is limited to one advertisement in one category every 48 hours. Pretty disappointing, right? Don’t worry, there’s a way around it. You’ll need a Craigslist proxy server to post multiple ads successfully.
-
-However, even with proxies, you need to keep some things in mind. Use separate proxies for separate postings. Don’t make posts at the same time; they should be at least slightly different and without spammy words such as “free” or “weight loss.” 
-
-Unlike other online platforms, Craigslist does not have an API for data retrieval. In other words, you can’t collect data from it automatically – you’d effectively have to copy it by hand. Thankfully, you can 1) build your a Craigslist scraper with any programming language of your choice and integrate proxies or 2) go with commercial web scraping or proxy-based APIs that already include proxies. Most of the providers on this list offer both – proxies and web scraping tools. 
-
-Without a proxy server, Craigslist will quickly detect an unusual number of requests and block your IP from the website. With good residential proxies you’ll be able to scrape Craigslist at scale without getting blocked.
-
-What data do people want from Craigslist exactly? Some users scrape Craigslist to keep an eye on items that are being sold (tickets, for example). Others use scrapers to find something for personal use. Businesses use Craigslist proxies to retrieve website data so that they can generate leads. Usually, they go through the postings and collect email addresses.
-
-Here’s a few tips for getting your Craigslist proxies right the first time:
-
-When it comes to money, we all love to save a buck or two when the opportunity appears. But no matter how tempted you are to give free proxies a shot, we advise against it. Free proxies are highly problematic. 
-
-First of all, there are hardly any free services on the market that would work well with Craigslist. Another thing worth noting is that free proxies don’t guarantee that they are safe to use. Still unconvinced? You can read more on the topic here. 
-
-The best balance between features and price.
-
-Smartproxy has a network of 40 million residential IPs. You can get proxies from 195 locations and target them by state or city. They rotate with every connection request or up to 10 minutes and 30 minutes.
-
-The provider’s pricing is more approachable than its main competitors. But that’s not the only thing Smartproxy has to offer. Its user-friendly approach allows you to navigate through the documentation easily, and the performance exceeds expectations.
-
-The main drawback is limited targeting options (no carrier or ASN targeting). However, if you’re looking for residential IPs at a budget-friendly price, Smartproxy is an easy choice to make.

-
-Additionally, Bright Data has a number of helpful tools to control your proxies, such as its open source proxy manager, which allows you to rotate your proxies however you like. 
-
-On the downside, Bright Data isn’t beginner friendly – it’s very complex to use and pricey. But developers will find the service very powerful.

-SOAX has 5 million residential addresses in over 150 locations. It offers precise location targeting options for posting on different city boards. You can rotate your proxies with every request, from 90s to 600s, or choose custom duration.
-
-In terms of price, SOAX is among the cheaper options. In addition, it offers an attractive dashboard and a customer success manager.

-
-In terms of the user interface, Infatica’s panel isn’t the most convenient to use, but it includes all the necessary features. And we were pleasantly surprised with its customer support – fast and thorough responses.
-
-Overall, Infatica has difficulties matching top services in user experience, proxy network size, or features. For example, you won’t be able to pay as you go or find API access. But its rates scale very well for bulk use.

-Residential proxies with non-expiring traffic.
-
-Rayobyte sells residential proxies in over 150 countries with the option to filter individual cities. Its pricing system lets you purchase a specific amount of traffic, which remains available until you’ve used it. 
-
-The starting rates for Rayobyte’s residential proxies rival premium providers steep, but once you buy over 50 GBs, they drop significantly. So, it makes sense to buy more traffic in advance. If you encounter any issues while using the service, Rayobyte’s customer support reps are ready to help you out 24/7. 
-
-The rotation settings are not very flexible; the residential proxies rotate with each request, or you can keep them for as long as they’re available, with no option to set custom intervals. What’s more, our tests showed that the proxies were pretty slow.

-
-IPRoyal’s customer service is available 24/7, and the support reacts fast. You won’t have to commit to monthly plans, and the traffic won’t expire.

-Besides a relatively small proxy pool, the IPs aren’t the best performers. We’ve encountered more errors during our tests than with other providers, and the proxies were slow. But they’ll work with less demanding Craigslist tasks.

-
-NetNut is another provider that’s after larger clients. The service comes with 52 million monthly IPs and 150 countries to choose from. It includes city-level targeting and rotation every request or as long as the IP is available.
-
-Over the years, NetNut greatly improved user experience, but it’s still very much in the making. Besides detailed usage statistics, don’t expect easy navigation or quick answers from customer support. Additionally, NetNut charges even more than premium providers and doesn’t have pay-as-you-go. But once you scale over 250 GBs, the price gets more favorable.

-
-Starts from $100 for 5 GBs ($20/GB) . 7-day free trial for companies.

-
-A Craigslist proxy is an IP address you can use to hide your real IP addresses, scrape data from Craigslist, get around phone verification, make multiple posts, avoid location restrictions or stay anonymous.
-
-You can buy them from any of the providers on our list. Most of them come with free trials or money-back guarantees, so you can try out their services without risk.
-
-There can be multiple reasons. You might be trying to post more listings than Craigslist allows. Or if you’re scraping the platform, you might have made too many requests too quickly. Craigslist proxies can help overcome these issues and unblock your Craigslist IP address.
-
-You can use proxies for that. They change your IP address and make Craigslist see you as a different person.

-cURL is a handy command line tool for testing proxies and even doing some light web scraping. This guide will give you the basics you need to effectively use cURL with a proxy server.
-
-cURL is a text-based tool that runs in the terminal and allows transferring data over the internet. It’s over 20 years old, supports most internet protocols, and runs out of the box in all modern operating systems.
-
-cURL is often used with APIs: to get acquainted them, play around with endpoints, or do straight up serious work. In the proxy industry, cURL has become a popular tool for testing backconnect proxy servers (so, anything that involves the terms rotating, residential, or mobile).
-
-If you have time, you can read this great e-book to learn all about cURL. This article focuses on delivering practical knowledge that you can apply right away.
-
-For one, cURL is long standing, widely available, and uses a simple text interface that works the same on every system. That aside, cURL is also pretty powerful. The tool can be used to write elaborate scripts that involve authentication, SSL connections, proxy tunnelling, cookies, and more. If that’s unnecessary, the basic syntax is easy to grasp, so you can quickly start doing useful work with it.
-
-At its most basic, cURL uses the following syntax:
-
-[option] refers to commands that tell cURL what to do. For example, -x tells cURL that the connection will go through a proxy server. Many options have alternative names: instead of -x, you can also write ‐‐proxy. Some options may go after the URL, for example, -v that asks cURL to display the connection information. Options aren’t obligatory to the syntax, but you’ll be using them most of the time.
-
-[url] refers to the domain you want to interact with.
-
-cURL supports over 20 protocols, which should be enough for all proxy server use cases. The list includes HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, and many others you probably won’t use. If you don’t specify the protocol in the URL, cURL will assume you want to use the HTTP protocol since the default proxy protocol is HTTP
-
-If you use a modern operating system, probably yes. By modern, I refer to Windows 10 or any supported version of macOS. Linux-based distributions may or may not have cURL installed – there’s simply too much variety to say for certain.
-
-How to check? Simple: open the Terminal and write curl ‐‐man. The manual page for cURL should appear.
-
-If it doesn’t, here’s how to install cURL:
-
-Alright, now that you know what cURL proxy is and have it installed on your computer, let’s see what we can do with it.
-
-If you’ve set up a proxy server on your OS, you can quickly check your IP address and location by running the following command:
-
-Example response:
-
-Of course, it’s not often that you’d want to set up proxies on the operating system level. So, you can test if your proxies are working using another way. cURL has the -x or ‐‐proxy option to specify the proxy that’s going to be used in the request:
-
-or
-
-In this example, 127.0.0.1 is the proxy server’s IP address and 80 is the port number.
-
-Instead of an IP address, you can also use a domain name:
-
-Most providers that offer HTTPS proxy let you connect to the proxy server via HTTP and then establish an HTTPS connection with the website. So, your cURL command should look the same whether you’re connecting to an HTTP or HTTPS proxy server.
-
-You’ll need to cURL HTTPS in some cases, so simply add the ‘s’ to the HTTP. But note that first, you have to create the cURL.
-
-
-				It only works when you have created the curlrc file with a proxy.  Then it will be used by default.
-
-			
-
-If you want to use cURL with the SOCKS protocol, there are several ways to do so. You can specify the protocol together with the proxy IP. Alternatively, you can add socks5:// or use the ‐‐socks5 option instead of -x:
-
-Paid providers often require proxy authentication before you can use them. If you’ve whitelisted your IP address, that’s fine. But if you’re using a username and password, you’ll need to include another option called -U or ‐‐proxy-user:
-
-It’s also possible to pass the username and password together with the proxy itself:
-
-In macOS and Linux, you can also use a proxy with cURL by setting environment variables. Remember that it sets a proxy for the whole system, not just for cURL. Environment variables let you customize how the operating system works and the applications on that system.
-
-You can tell cURL to use the proxy by the environment variables in a single line.
-
-Another method is to use the http_proxy environment variable. You can do that with the export command.
-
-Also, you can specify the proxy variable, so you wouldn’t need to add cURL options every time. And the same way you can unset the global proxy settings.
-
-While the solution above works, you can also use the ~/.curlrc file. It’s a default option, so cURL will always search for such a file in your home directory. On Linux and macOS, it will look for a ~/.curlrc file, and on Windows _curlrc.
-
-Unlike environment variables, with a .curlrc file you can set up a proxy specifically for cURL and not for all the programs This can be achieved by adding the line below to the ~/.curlrc file.
-
-If the ~/.curlrc file doesn’t exist, you can create a new one.
-
-You might want more information about what happens when you send a request. For example, you might be interested in the request or response headers, response code, or the user agent you send. Adding the -v or ‐‐verbose option will print out what’s going on behind the scenes. Knowing how to use this option can be very useful for debugging.
-
-
-				Response codes: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status 
-
-If you want to save the logs (to analyze them or berate your proxy provider for things that don’t work), you can use the -o or ‐‐output option to write the result to a file.
-
-For example, the command below creates a new file called output.txt in your active directory and prints the response directly to it:
-
-If you don’t want a website to treat you as a bot, you’ll need to send appropriate headers. cURL allows doing just that.
-
-To see what headers you normally send to the target website, click the right mouse button, select Inspect, and navigate to the Network tab. Refresh the site, and you’ll see all of the requests being made while it’s loading.
-
-Pro tip: You can right click on the request and copy it as a cURL command to take a better look at it.
-
-So, how do you actually set those headers in cURL? With the -H or ‐‐header option. For example, we can send an Accept header to the target site:
-
-
-				More on headers:
-
-https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Request_header
-https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers 
-
-By default, cURL announces itself to websites as… well, cURL. There are times when we don’t want that – once again, to prevent getting treated as a bot and then blocked. cURL allows us to spoof our user-agent using the option -A or ‐‐user-agent:
-
-The verbose output lets us see that the user-agent has changed:
-
-> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
-
-It’s also possible to send the User-Agent in the header using the -H option:
-
-
-				More on user-agents: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-Agent 
-
-Cookies help websites remember information about you, and sometimes they’re necessary for the site to work. If you need them, you use the -b or ‐‐cookie option to specify cookies or the file they should be read from.
-
-For example, if there’s an active session and you need to send the ‘sess_id’ cookie of its ID with the request, you can use:
-
-It’s also possible to receive cookies from the target server and store them for later use. cURL has the -c or ‐‐cookie-jar option that allows specifying the output file:
-
-You can then read those cookies from the file and use them for subsequent requests with the -b command:
-
-Sometimes, you may encounter an issue when the output just says Found or Found. Redirecting to https://somewhere.com. In such cases, you’ll see a HTTP code 302 in the verbose output.
-
-The issue is easy to solve: just add the -L or ‐‐location option to the request:
-
-There may be times when the target websites will use a self-signed or an expired certificate. You’ll receive the SSL certificate error: invalid certificate chain error when trying to access it.
-
-cURL is able to ignore SSL certificate errors by adding the -k or ‐‐insecure option:
-
-cURL allows sending POST requests to the web server instead of just fetching data. This way, you can fill in forms, log in, and otherwise interact with the website. To do so, use the -X or ‐‐request option:
-
-To specify the data you want to send, you’ll also need the -d or ‐‐data option.
-
-Sending values to specific variables:
-
-Sending JSON-formatted data:
-
-Note: Sometimes, you may need to escape specific characters (more often on Windows systems) using the backslash character (\). An escaped JSON would look like this:
-
-This marks the end of my brief introduction to using cURL with proxy servers. I hope you’ve found it instructive. Now go curl some proxies!
-
-By default cURL uses TCP.
-
-Yes, you can download and use cURL free of charge.
-
-Yes, you can. cURL has the -U option for username and password authentication.
-
-Sure. cURL supports plain old HTTP, and you can configure it to ignore SSL errors.
-
-Simply enter curl ipinfo.io into the terminal, and it will show your current IP address.

-Datacenter proxies offer the cheapest way to change your IP address. They’re the go-to choice for many tasks: from avoiding geo-location restrictions to gaming, automating workflows, and scraping content from the web.
-
-Datacenter proxy servers have plenty of variety. You can get IP addresses that are shared or dedicated to your exclusive use; static or rotating; sometimes even completely free! This page will walk you through the main types and help you choose the best datacenter proxy providers from a curated list.
-
-A list of the best overall datacenter proxy providers.
-
-Proxies that you have to share with several other people. Can be static or rotating.

-
-Providers that offer free access to their proxy servers. These are not public proxy lists.
-
-The full list: Best Free Proxy Lists
-
-Datacenter proxies are remote computers with their own IP address and location. Instead of connecting to websites directly, you go through them first. This lets you hide your own identifying information.
-
-Datacenter IPs are hosted on servers in data centers. As a result, they’re very fast and often have unlimited bandwidth; however, they’re easier to detect than residential and mobile proxies. You’ll have issues accessing protected domains (like shoe stores, social media, or Google), but they’re still very effective for plenty of use cases.
-
-
-				Learn more: What Are Datacenter Proxies? The Beginner’s Guide. 
-
-Shared proxies are a significant step up from free proxies. They perform much better than public lists and give you more breathing room compared to the freemium options above. You’ll usually be sharing the IPs with several other people – not ideal but you might not even notice it with smaller websites. However, search engine scraping, accessing sneaker sites, or managing multiple accounts on social media are a no-go.
-
-These proxies are several times cheaper than dedicated addresses. You can opt for a static IP list with unlimited traffic or a pool of rotating addresses that resembles residential proxies. They cost $0.5-1 per IP address or gigabyte of traffic.
-
-
-				Learn more: What Are Shared Proxies and When to Use Them? 
-
-Dedicated proxies, also called private proxies, are the high end of datacenter IPs. These addresses are hosted on premium hardware, have the best performance (no sharing!), and carry less risk that someone will blacklist your IPs while you use them. They’re the logical choice if shared proxies experience too many blocks, you need more control or consistency.
-
-These proxies are almost always sold by IP address, offering unlimited bandwidth but no IP rotation. Keep that in mind. An address costs between $0.8-2.5, depending on how many you buy and where. Non-US locations sometimes cost extra.
-
-
-				Learn more: Dedicated Proxies: All You Need to Know 
-
-To choose the best datacenter proxies, we tested and analyzed major proxy services. The performance tests looked into technical aspects like proxy pool size, quality, success rate, and response time. The manual analysis included an overview of features and price. All the providers on the list participated in our annual Proxy Market Research.
-
-Best premium dedicated proxies with professional service.
-
-Oxylabs is arguably one of the best proxy service provider, at least when it comes to residential IPs. But it also controls an impressive network of shared and dedicated datacenter proxies – in fact, the largest in the world. Its proxies come with unlimited domains, and connection requests.
-
-The provider controls two million dedicated IPs, ensuring a variety of addresses. That means you’re less likely to get subnet and ASN-related bans. You can get IPs in 188 countries and target particular cities.
-
-Oxylabs’ shared proxies come in a pool of 29,000 addresses, and 15 locations including the US, some European and Asian countries. You can rotate them with every connection or set up sticky sessions for as long as you need.
-
-Oxylabs offers a premium service. It has a functional dashboard, and you can buy the shared IPs using self-service. However, the dedicated proxies don’t include this functionality. But the provider’s experienced team can fine-tune the proxies based on your target and requirements. You get an account manager and an IP replacement API.
-
-The provider mainly targets large businesses and you won’t be able to pay as you go, so the cheapest dedicated plan with 100 proxies might be an overkill for some tasks. 
-
-Read the Oxylabs review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Flexible plans and customizable self-service.
-
-Webshare has three datacenter proxy options: shared among many users, shared with 0-2 users, and dedicated. Its proxies support HTTP(S) and SOCKS protocols and cover over 40 countries worldwide. They are static and come in the form of a list, but there’s an option to rotate IPs with every connection request.
-
-What distinguishes Webshare from others is that it has highly customizable self-service. You can choose the number of proxies, set a bandwidth limit, and customize threads. You can also select the location of your IPs and buy refreshes between five minutes and a month. The dashboard is easy to navigate, so first-time users shouldn’t have any problems.
-
-In addition, Webshare offers a free plan with 10 static IPs from four different locations. You can use 1 GB of free data monthly, running up to 50 threads at once. You’ll get your free proxy list automatically after registering.
-
-The provider mainly targets entry and mid-level customers, so the prices don’t bite. However, it doesn’t have a live chat – you can only reach customer service via email.
-
-Read the Webshare review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Most versatile provider on the market.
-
-Bright Data is a juggernaut with a vast and highly diverse network of shared, dedicated, and rotating IPs. Without much exaggeration, it can offer anything to anyone. You can buy one or ten thousand IPs, limit them to certain or all domains, and get addresses that have been cooled down for some time.
-
-Bright Data’s shared IPs are static and come in a list, or you can get access to a pool of 20,000 addresses. The latter randomly chooses IPs from 80 locations. Dedicated addresses are spread throughout 3,000 subnets. With Bright Data’s proxy manager, you can rotate, filter, and otherwise manipulate the proxies.
-
-Every service includes at least 50 locations worldwide, country and city-level targeting. Bright Data offers flexible rotation options: rotate every request or keep the IPs for as long as available. Also, there’s an option to immediately replace a proxy server that goes offline with a new one. So, the provider manages to keep 100% uptime.
-
-However, this same versatility plays into pricing, in the form of upsells. You’ll have to pay extra for unlimited traffic and private access to more than one domain.
-
-Quality dedicated proxies for a wide range of customers.
-
-
-
-Rayobyte has a strong infrastructure of shared, dedicated, and rotating datacenter proxies. The service doesn’t limit threads, traffic, or domains. The plans are subscription-based, but you can also go for a one-time purchase.
-
-Rayobyte’s shared proxies come in three formats. The first one is a list of addresses that you share with two people. You can get from as few as five IPs in 11 countries. The second option allows you to buy a certain number of ports with 20 rotating IPs assigned to each port. The IPs rotate between 10-120 minutes. And the last one comes with a pool of 60,000 rotating proxies. The addresses are traffic-based, and they rotate with every connection request. But the service is still in beta.
-
-The dedicated proxies are static and come in a list. The IPs are less likely to get mass banned because they’re spread around 20,000 C-class subnets, and the network reaches 300,000 addresses throughout nine ASNs. 
-
-You can get dedicated addresses in 26 countries. They’re mostly based in the US, but you can also target Western European, Southern American, and Southeast Asian countries. The shared IPs support eleven locations, IP-based – four, and the traffic-based servers come only in the US.
-
-However, longer rotation times make the provider less attractive for scraping tasks. And Rayobyte supports fewer locations than some premium service providers.
-
-Best rotating proxies for web scraping.
-
-Smartproxy sells both shared and dedicated datacenter proxies. Its products are simple to use and have some of the best customer service on the market.
-
-First, Smartproxy offers 100,000 traffic-based shared IPs in the US and Europe, or IP-based proxies from eight countries in four continents. You get full access to the IP pool no matter the plan. There are no target limits, and you can make as many parallel connections as you like. Rotation with every connection request makes the proxies very practical for web scraping, and you can create 30-min sticky sessions for other tasks.
-
-Smartproxy also offers dedicated IPs in the US. The dedicated plans don’t include many features but they’re enough for simple tasks. There’s an option to choose between sequential or non-sequential, SOCKS5 or HTTP(s) IPs using Smartproxy’s dashboard. Furthermore, you can opt to refresh the full list after renewing subscription, or keep the same IPs.
-
-The shared plans are bandwidth-based, and you get a lot of cheap traffic. If you exceed the quota, there’s an option to buy extra gigabytes without upgrading. The dedicated options start small but can scale up to 4,000 proxies if needed.
-
-Cheap dedicated proxies with unlimited threads.
-
-
-
-IPRoyal sells affordable dedicated IP addresses from around 30 locations. The service has no target or traffic limits, and you’ll get an unlimited number of threads. You’ll also find features like an API, as well as one monthly refresh free of charge. 
-
-What distinguishes IPRoyal from the competition is the price. You can get 5 IPs for as little as $9 (1.80/IP address). And even though IPRoyal increased its datacenter prices by 20% this year, it remains one of the cheaper providers. However, you won’t be able to pay as you go.
-
-If you need proxies for sneaker coping, IPRoyal has a private proxy pool with IPs that aren’t blocked (allegedly) on shoe websites. 
-
-Even though the service is cheap, it lacks a lot of features. You won’t be able to rotate your proxies, and you can target only one country per plan. Also, IPRoyal doesn’t give access to the whole IP pool, so you’re likely to run out of IPs faster.
-
-Shared proxies in the US with SOCKS5 support.
-
-
-
-NetNut offers over 100,000 shared datacenter IPs in the US. The provider gives full access to the proxy network and comes with SOCKS5 support. The IPs rotate with every request and you can choose sticky sessions up to two days, but there’s no custom rotation. 
-
-You can get the proxies through self-service – the registration process will take only three steps and no human interaction. 
-
-NetNut is considered a premium provider. Its plans start from $100 ($1/GB). But you’ll get better rates and more features paying $350 and up. For example, you’ll unlock a dedicated manager, live support, and the price drops to $0.70/GB or less. However, it will remain above the market average. Customers with smaller plans can reach NetNut by email only.
-
-The service has some other drawbacks, too. During our tests, the proxies were twice as slow compared to the competition. Also, NetNut can’t figure out its documentation, which is a lengthy FAQ.
-
-You can use datacenter proxies for both enterprise and personal use. They’re cheap, fast, and usually come with unlimited bandwidth. However, datacenter IPs are quite easy to detect. So, when choosing the best datacenter proxy provider, the choice depends on aspects like budget, what features you need, and specific project parameters.
-
-A datacenter proxy is an intermediary IP addresses that is held in servers of various web hosting companies like Google Cloud or Amazon AWS.
-
-In short, you need to determine what type of datacenter proxy you need – shared or private. Then, check what features each provider offers, if the price matches your budget, the size of the IP pool, and the service’s overall performance.

-Webshare’s signature products are datacenter & ISP proxies. You can buy them in over a dozen European locations, customize various aspects of the service, and get great rates if you opt out of the premium features. 
-
- Read Review
-
-To identify the best European proxy provider, we ran extensive technical tests. We measured proxy speed, their ability to access local websites, and how well they work under high loads. We also checked if you’ll be able to specify your desired locations in Europe. The list includes only residential IPs because they offer better location coverage and are much harder to spot than datacenter proxies.
-
-Our second focus was the provider’s ease of use, features for different tasks, and the quality of customer support.
-
-Put together, these criteria allowed us to choose the very best European proxy services.
-
-Just about any internet-capable device can connect to the internet through a proxy network. In fact, you’ll usually be able to configure your proxy connections on an application-by-application basis, enabling you to set different applications to connect through different proxy IP addresses.
-
-Each provider’s documentation will vary and the setup processes might differ. But all them will route your connections through proxy servers located in Europe.
-
-There is no shortage of free proxy services out there. But as tempting as they might be, you should really avoid them.
-
-You don’t know who’s behind a free proxy service — such providers have been known to spy on users and intercept their data. If they wanted, a proxy server operator could wait for you to log in to an online banking or social media account and then harvest your credentials.
-
-All of the providers on our list use the HTTPS protocol, ensuring that your communications with the proxy are encrypted. You should be aware that both Oxylabs and Bright Data track their users for legal reasons, so they might not be the best choice for everyone.
-
-With a European IP address, you’ll be able to access the internet as if you were located within the EU.
-
-This means you can reach local content, order goods (such as sneakers), and take advantage of prices and offers that are only available to customers in Europe. A European proxy server also lets you open multiple social media accounts and scrape data as if you were a local, which is invaluable for market intelligence.
-
-Definitely! Using a European proxy to get an EU IP address is perfectly legal and something that anyone is free to do. If you are in doubt about the legality of using proxies where you live, you should consult with a local attorney.
-
-Note that contrary to popular belief, using a proxy doesn’t make you untraceable and isn’t a magic shield for criminals. An IP address is just one piece of data that law enforcement can use to track internet users — disguising yours won’t prevent you from being identified.
-
-Yes. Using a proxy service with a residential IP address is the best way to access local content and collect data from websites in Europe. Whatever you plan on doing with your European proxy, the providers above can give you a stress-free and reliable service. Every one of them can offer a stable, reliable, and secure connection. Their large IP pools also ensure that you can work uninterrupted by IP blocks.

-
-These days, all social media giants (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) have imposed many limitations on how you can use their platforms. And they put a lot of effort into ensuring that no one can bypass and trick their systems. For example, there’s a limit on how many accounts you can create from one IP. Proxies help bypass these limitations.
-
-If you’re here reading this, we assume that you have a goal to trick those systems for one reason or another (BlackHatWorld users have so many reasons, some of them seem crazy even for us.) We are here to help.
-
-Social media proxies have pretty similar use cases. It doesn’t really matter whether it’s Instagram or Facebook. Every Facebook proxy user can come up with a different set of reasons for using them. Here some of the most popular ones:
-
-It doesn’t matter if you need multiple accounts for work, business, or personal reasons – you’ll probably encounter an issue at some point. While Facebook allows switching from one account to another – it’s only if both accounts are set up in the same location, with the same IP. And sometimes this just doesn’t work.
-
-Imagine that you’re hired to manage a Facebook account of a business that is located in the US. But you live in Japan. Well, Facebook’s transparency features allow everyone visiting the page to see where it’s managed from, and not seeing the United States would potentially look shady for a lot of people.

-Back in the days, people used to create Facebook accounts in bulk to spam people. Not the most ethical use case, but it worked and brought results. Today, you can’t really do that anymore. What you can do, however, is create multiple accounts for the Facebook Business Manager. From what we’ve heard, this is where the real money lies nowadays.
-
-Facebook tends to get banned by schools and workplaces. As many other social media platforms, it’s considered to be bad for your attention span. No one wants you to waste your precious time there. Well, except maybe you! So, you can use proxies to unblock Facebook and freely browse the platform again.
-
-Software programs like Useviral offer powerful Facebook automation features. For example, you can schedule and auto-share posts, automatically change your cover-photo, reply to messages, create post variations with spintax tools and post them to multiple groups, and so on. Proxies help these programs run uninhibited and at full capacity.
-
-Like all other major social media platforms, Facebook stores a lot of valuable data. This could be anything from URLs to posts or even profiles. However, there is no longer an API to automatically retrieve it. So, you either have to do it by hand, or use a Facebook scraper. You’ll need proxies for your scraper to work; otherwise, Facebook will quickly notice your actions and block your IP address.
-
-Whether it’s actually legal to do it is another question. The company vehemently opposed Facebook scraping, and you must be careful not to violate the GDPR or CCCP laws. But it’s still something that can be done and many find worth doing.
-
-It’s likely that if you are looking to purchase dedicated proxies for Facebook, you already know quite a bit about them, but here is a short list of some tips we’ve gathered:
-
-Free proxies are never a good choice. We have a full length post on why this is the case. Here’s a short rundown:
-
-Type? Mobile, then residential. Provider? We cover the best proxy services in the article. (Hint: It’s Smartproxy.)

-
-Proxyway’s Proxy Checker lets you test a list of proxies on your web browser. It uses an IP database to provide comprehensive information about the IPs, such as checking proxy performance, location, and detection status. The tool works with all proxy servers, as long as they support username:password authentication (or require no authentication at all).
-
-Features:
-
-
-				If you have any feedback or feature requests, get in touch.			
-
-Proxy Checker gets most of its information from IP-API, which is an online IP database. Note that other IP databases can show different results, based on when they were updated.
-
-After entering your proxy list, you’ll see 7 columns. Here’s what each reveals:
-
-No magic here. It simply shows the proxy server’s address you entered.
-
-Whether the proxy tester was able to connect via the proxy IP. If the connection succeeds, you’ll see Success with results in other columns. Otherwise, you’ll see an error. Proxy Checker forwards the errors received from the proxy server.
-
-We use Cloudflare’s servers as our target. Even if one of them fails, the request should be rerouted to a nearest server, ensuring nearly 100% uptime.
-
-How long the proxy server took to respond in milliseconds. Proxy Checker should connect to a target nearest to the proxy IP’s location if DNS is resolved at the proxy server (it usually is). Connection is set to time out after 10 seconds.
-
-Note that we send requests from our servers and not your own machine. So, the proxy speed will differ compared to running the test locally.
-
-The country and city associated with the proxy server.
-
-The organization that controls the IP address. You can use it to check if the proxy server belongs to a cloud hosting company or a residential ISP.
-
-A similar data point that specifically tries to determine if the proxy IP is hosted at a data center. True means yes. The results may not be 100% accurate.
-
-Whether the database knows that the IP address is used as a proxy server. Once again, the data may not be completely accurate. But if the result is True, you can expect to experience more blocks and security measures.
-
-In addition to uptime, speed, and location metrics, people sometimes want to test their proxies for anonymity. There are three major anonymity levels: 1) transparent proxies, which don’t try to hide your original IP address; 2) anonymous proxies, which hide your IP address but not the fact that you’re using a proxy; and 3) elite proxies, which hide both. You can learn more here.
-
-Unfortunately, Proxy Checker doesn’t provide anonymity information at this time. But you can learn your proxy type by going to websites like ProxyDB which check HTTP headers for signs of a proxy.
-
-There are multiple ways to test proxy servers. One is using our Proxy Checker. We list other methods in our guide on how to test proxies
-
-You can use Proxy Checker for that. Enter the proxy’s IP address; if the Status column shows Success, it means the server is working.
-
-It’s very hard to test sneaker proxies. That’s because shoe stores enable much stricter security measures during releases, and proxies are just one piece of the puzzle (a good sneaker bot with correct setup is as important). You can find providers we recommend in our list of the best sneaker proxies.
-
-The simplest way to test SEO proxies is to see if they can open Google without excessive CAPTCHA prompts. Unfortunately, Proxy Checker doesn’t allow testing proxy servers with individual websites at this point, so you’ll have to use another tool.
-
-You can test SOCKS5 proxies the same way you’d test any other proxy server. Despite using a different protocol, they still rely on the same parameters: uptime, speed, usage history, etc. Proxy Checker can help you test your IPs.

-Unfortunately, GeoSurf had to close after losing a legal dispute to another proxy provider, Bright Data. Open the link below to find our recommended alternatives.
-
-GeoSurf is one of the veterans of the proxy server market. While pricey, its residential proxies are known for quality and location targeting options. Businesses often consider them in comparison to Oxylabs, Bright Data, and other top proxy vendors. 
-
-But the market has been moving fast, especially in recent years. Does GeoSurf still have what it takes to win your business, and can it outmatch its premium competitors in 2023? Let’s find out.
-
-GeoSurf Is Shutting Down on December 20
-
-GeoSurf is an Israeli provider of proxies and web scraping tools. It can sell you access to a residential proxy network, datacenter, ISP, mobile proxies, and a VPN. 
-
-GeoSurf has been around for a while. It started in 2009, under Israeli company BiScience, to help companies view localized content. You’d get an Internet Explorer toolbar, and it’d let you change your location with proxies. Even TechCrunch wrote about it – in 2011. Funnily enough, GeoSurf still uses that article as a testimonial on its homepage.  
-
-Localization testing is still an important use case for GeoSurf, though the provider has expanded its reach to data collection, social media management, sneakers, and other proxy server uses. According to GeoSurf, anything goes, as long as it adheres to the Terms of Service. 
-
-The service is not for everyone, though. GeoSurf is very much a premium provider, both in pricing and business practices. The entry point is high, and you can’t even see how much some of the services cost – this requires contacting sales. And don’t even think about self-service. 
-
-For a few years, GeoSurf’s website looked pretty much abandoned. Latest reviews from 2017? A blog that hasn’t been updated since 2020? That’s not very reassuring at a time when the provider’s main competitors have only accelerated their efforts. 
-
-That said, it would be unfair to discount GeoSurf so soon. It still sells proxies and has started showing signs of life again. The provider not only introduced a cheaper entry plan but also added more services to the roster. So maybe it has a future, after all? We’ll see. For now, though, GeoSurf remains one of the major options for enterprise clients.
-
-Residential proxies are GeoSurf’s main service. The provider controls over 3.5 million monthly IPs. This isn’t much, but the proxies are known to be of good quality. What’s more, they’re peppered throughout many cities to serve GeoSurf’s location tester clients. Let’s have a closer look at what they offer. 
-
-
-				Enough for all tasks that don’t require SOCKS5.			
-
-Format: Proxy pool with 3.5M IPsLocations: 150+ countriesFiltering: Country, state, cityRotation: Every request, 1, 10, 30 mins
-
-Geosurf’s residential proxies cover over 150 countries around the world. More impressive is the number of available cities: you can get proxies in about 1,700 locations. This makes the provider a good choice for geography-sensitive tasks.
-
-Geosurf advertises the IPs as clean, meaning they haven’t been blocked or blacklisted, as well as unlimited – having no limitations on the number of connections, threads, and locations. The only limit you’ll encounter is traffic; and that too can be solved by buying a bigger plan.
-
-Geosurf also has specialized proxies for Instagram and ad verification. Turns out, there’s nothing unique about them – they’re just like any other residential IP. Even so, it’s a nice way to market the proxies, and whoever wrote the description deserves a raise:
-
-SOCKS5 isn’t available, so Geosurf won’t be a perfect choice for bandwidth-intensive tasks like torrenting or gaming.
-
-
-				One of the most expensive entry points in the market.			
-
-GeoSurf uses a subscription-based pricing model and charges for traffic expenditure. The plans aren’t rigid: you commit to spend a set amount of money at a fixed rate, and there’s nothing to stop you from using more. The rate improves once you reach a new checkpoint. 
-
-GeoSurf’s plans start from $300 for 25 GB of data. Even though the entry point decreased (it used to be $450), it remains the highest on the market. The difference became even more apparent when premium competitors like Oxylabs introduced low-cost plans starting from $15-20. 
-
-So, Geosurf naturally falls off if you have limited needs. And if you don’t? GeoSurf’s rates are competitive for a premium provider and cheaper compared to something like Bright Data. However, you don’t get everything out of the box: features like city targeting cost extra. This makes the provider a pretty tough sell. 
-
-You won’t get a trial or a refund here. Instead, team GeoSurf is prepared to arrange a live demo for prospective clients.
-
-
-				Decently sized proxy pool, thoroughly mediocre performance.			
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 1M requests over 21 days using the unfiltered pool, 500,000 requests over 14 days using the country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-GeoSurf had a decent number of unique IPs in its residential proxy network. It couldn’t really compare with the leading providers in numbers – but that’s to be expected given that Bright Data advertises 20 times more IPs. On the other hand, GeoSurf beat Infatica (10 million proxies) and PacketStream (7 million proxies).
-
-One problem we encountered was that a database treated quite a few of the IPs as non-residential. This was especially apparent in the US where the provider likely boosted its pool with ISP proxies.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-GeoSurf’s infrastructure performance was mediocre overall. Between four and 10% of the requests failed, and the response time put these proxies among the slowest we tested. It was okay in the US but multiple times slower than Oxylabs, Shifter, or Infatica in Europe.
-
-In addition, something went terribly wrong with GeoSurf’s unfiltered pool. We treat this as an exception rather than the norm, as the provider’s results over the years were always solid.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-
-				Polished proxy management tools mired in old-school business practices. 			
-
-GeoSurf has different dashboards for its products, so parts of this section apply only to the residential proxy service. 
-
-To register on GeoSurf, simply fill in a form on the website. You’ll have to enter your full name, email address, and country.
-
-However, you won’t be able to buy a plan and start using proxies just yet. You’ll receive an email from GeoSurf’s salesman, and they’ll ask you to jump on Skype and discuss your needs or schedule an appointment. When you both agree on a plan, you’ll get a user account and be able to actually access the proxies.
-
-After logging in with the provided credentials, you’ll find yourself in a simple and elegant dashboard. There, you’ll be able to see your balance and traffic use, change the password, whitelist IPs, access Geosurf’s gateways, and add credits.
-
-If I could change anything, I’d include easier access to the FAQs and the customer support (now, pressing on ‘Support’ only prompts you to create an email). Oh, there’s really no way to change the profile picture, so why have that at all?
-
-But these are all minor gripes, and overall the dashboard is pleasant to use.
-
-GeoSurf offers no self-service, meaning that your account has to be activated by the sales team. 
-
-The dashboard has a wallet that’s only available when you have an active subscription. You can use it to top up the plan, and you can also upgrade to a bigger plan if needed. In reality though, GeoSurf’s answer to most account-related activities involves the words contact us, and we’ll…. 
-
-There’s also an option to see your payment history with transaction IDs, as well as usage history by month. You can export both to CSV.
-
-Geosurf uses backconnect gateways to give you access to its proxy network. In other words, you get one address with a port number or a range of ports and not a proxy list.
-
-The provider has a handy setup wizard in the dashboard to help you get started. It lets you choose preferred locations and IP rotation, and then automatically generates a gateway address. GeoSurf gives two formats in the dashboard: with or without a username and password. 
-
-There’s one more way to set up proxies, though it’s buried in the help docs. GeoSurf lets you send requests by adding proxy headers. This way, you can establish longer sessions and get IPs from several countries at once. 
-
-Here’s what the three setup formats look like:
-
-One inconvenience is that the dashboard doesn’t let you generate multiple sticky IP gateways at once – you’ll have to do it by hand. 
-
-All in all, the basic setup process is straightforward, though it can get pretty complex.
-
-GeoSurf has a visual graph for data use. It can show you traffic expenditure during various time periods: last 12, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and so on. There’s also an option to pick a custom range, though the system doesn’t seem to store data that’s older than six months.
-
-You can use Geosurf’s proxies via a residential proxy API. It allows whitelisting and removing IPs, monitoring traffic and balance information, and retrieving available proxies in particular locations.
-
-Geosurf has a browser extension for Chrome, Chrome-based browsers (such as Opera, Vivaldi, or Brave), and Firefox. It lets you use proxies on your browser – kind of like a localised VPN. With it, you can easily select the location of your proxy IP address and its rotation time. You can also clear cookies and cache at the press of a button. Pretty neat.
-
-The name Geosurf Toolbar points to the company’s long lineage. Remember the Techcrunch article from 2011? Yup, it’s about the toolbar – only back then you could download it for now discontinued Internet Explorer.
-
-GeoSurf has extensive help docs explaining how to use its services. They include a lengthy FAQ with over 60 answers and code samples, a residential proxy integration guide, video tutorials, integration instructions, and several basic white papers. Overall, there’s no lack of information. 
-
-On a closer look, things are less pretty. While all of the above stands, you’ll find that many of the video guides have become outdated, walking you through a dashboard that’s long changed. A good part of the integration instructions cover tools that are no longer popular or used. And there’s very little information about the non-residential services. 
-
-GeoSurf’s support works 24/7; you can contact it via email or Skype. I tried sending several email messages, and on average, a reply came in 14 hours. This isn’t very fast.
-
-To be fair to GeoSurf, it prefers talking over Skype, where clients can interact with their assigned account manager. Communication this way went quicker and smoother than when using email.
-
-For an old-timer, Geosurf puts up a good fight. You wouldn’t say that looking at its website (it either needs an update or is in the process of getting one), but the whole package is solid.
-
-The proxies perform okay and have flexible management options. They come with nifty tools to help you, like the well-made dashboard and browser extension. It’s evident that GeoSurf has experience and knows what it’s doing.
-
-But at the same time, GeoSurf looks like it’s stuck somewhere in 2019, especially on the business end. Does that mean it’s been reduced to the level of newly-sprung cheap service like IPRoyal? Not exactly. But when compared to the premium alternatives – and weighed pound for pound, GeoSurf becomes a tough sell. 
-
-Nonetheless, it still provides a quality service, and an alternative proxy pool to the other popular options. If you want to try something different, or simply found that GeoSurf meets your needs, go ahead and try it. You’ll likely be treated well.
-
-Geosurf was closed due to legal disputes.

-
-We ran extensive tests to determine the average speed of each provider, as well as their success rate when establishing connections to localized content. We also ran 500 connections in parallel to measure the speed and stability of the networks when under load. This let us evaluate the overall quality of their IP pool.
-
-By combining the results of these individual tests, we were able to build a well-rounded picture of how these German proxy services perform in a real-world scenario.
-
-When you normally access the internet, your device connects directly to the servers that host the content you are requesting. A German proxy server lets you access that server via local German IP address.
-
-You can use these proxies with almost any web browser or device. Even though their documentation or setup processes might differ, the end result will be the same — the proxy network will route your connection through a German IP address.
-
-If you search online for a free German proxy service, you’ll find no shortage of available options. But you want to steer clear such services. They need to make money somehow. In many cases, this means monitoring what you do and selling that information to third parties.
-
-Free proxy services come with large security risks and can completely undermine the reasons you are seeking out such a service to begin with. All the providers all this list use the HTTPS protocol to keep your connection encrypted. Note that both Bright Data and Oxylabs track what their users do for legal reasons and, so they might not be the best option for everyone.
-
-If you want to stream content from German TV providers like ZDF from outside Germany, you will need to connect to them using a German IP address. Geo-blocking is becoming increasingly common, as are attempts to overcome it. Content providers routinely block IP addresses that are associated with VPNs and proxies. Sometimes, they automatically block IP addresses that are shared between a large number of accounts.
-
-By using a German proxy server that assigns your device a residential IP address, you can avoid many of these automatic blocks. This increases your success rate in accessing localized content. You can also create local social media accounts, buy goods that are reserved for German users, and scrape data from locally-available sources much more reliably with a local German proxy server.
-
-It’s completely legal to use German proxy services. However, if you doubt whether you can legally use a German proxy service in your country, or whether you can use a proxy service for your intended use case, consult with an attorney who specializes in computer law.
-
-Despite the way that they are often portrayed in films and the media, proxy services don’t make you invisible or invincible. If you are planning to use proxies to do something illegal, or even privacy-focused, proxies might not be able to help you. There are other ways to track you down, and your IP address is just one piece of information.
-
-Two of the providers on our list are open about the fact that they record what their users do. Proxy providers are bound by the laws in the country where they are headquartered. It’s worth investigating what local laws and regulations apply to any provider that you are considering using.
-
-When you use any of the five proxy providers on our list, you can be confident that you’ll be able to access localized German content. If you want to stream German TV reliably through a German proxy service, you need a residential German IP address. Datacenter IP addresses are much more prone to being filtered and blocked by content providers.
-
-A residential German IP address is also essential if you want to buy goods that are only available to customers located in Germany. In most cases, you won’t need this level of granular control, but it’s useful if you want to scrape data from extremely localized sources. Automatic IP rotation will ensure that if the IP address you are using is blocked, you can seamlessly switch to a fresh one.

-Learn four proven methods to find out if your proxies are good.
-
-Whether you’ve found a proxy list online or bought some IPs from a provider, it’s always a good idea to test your proxies before using them. Many proxy providers offer a money-back guarantee, but it only lasts for a short while or a small percentage of the bandwidth bought. In any case, knowing what you’re working with can save you from a large headache later on.
-
-In this article, I’ll teach you how to test proxies using four simple but reliable tools. With them, you’ll be able to check if your proxies work, if they make you anonymous, and if they can access the websites you need.
-
-Here’s a quick table comparing the methods. Clicking on their names will scroll down to relevant places of this page:
-
-If you’d like something more powerful, there’s always an option to build your own proxy tester.
-
-An IP checker is the most basic measure to test proxies. It shows your IP address and location. If they differ from your current IP and location, you can assume that connection requests are successfully going through a proxy server. There are many such services, but we’ll take ipinfo.io as an example.
-
-How to use IP checkers: One way is to set up a proxy in your browser and then simply visit the proxy checker’s website. The second way is to send a cURL request using your operating system’s terminal. It’s more technical but doesn’t require to configure the proxies beforehand.
-
-Our free online proxy checker provides an easy way to test proxies and their various aspects. You can enter multiple proxies at once to check if they work, where they’re located, and how fast it takes to connect to them. Depending on your use case, this can be all you need. 
-
-How to use the proxy checker: Go to the proxy checker’s page, enter a list of proxies, and press Submit. After the tests are done, you’ll see a table with the information. You’ll be able to export working proxy servers.
-
-FOGLDN used to be the industry standard for measuring proxy speed. It’s gone now, but Proxydrop has made a fine free alternative with even more features. You can choose any target, so it’s useful not only for testing sneaker proxies, but for other use cases as well. Proxydrop’s checker works on Windows and Mac computers. 
-
-How to use Proxydrop’s proxy checker: download the tool to your computer. Open it, add a list of proxies, enter a website you want to target, and run the test. You can select a timeout threshold and export only IPs that were fast enough.
-
-A database is like an IP checker but on steroids. It shows useful information about your proxies, such as which proxy type they belong to. Good IP databases cost money, though some allow checking a limited number of IP addresses free of charge. For example, the IP2Location database lets you check 50 (or 200 if you register) IPs per day without paying.
-
-How to use IP databases: The principle is very similar to online IP checkers. One way is to set up a proxy server on your browser and visit the database’s page. Another way, if you know the proxy’s IP address, is to enter it on the website. And the third way is to use the provided API to get the information programmatically.
-
-If you’re as serious about proxy testing as we are, you can build your own tool. Having one will give you much more control over which aspects you want to evaluate. You’ll be able to select multiple targets, connection concurrency settings, and the testing duration. Plugging in an IP database will give you further data about proxy locations, types, and even details like the protocol (IPv4 or IPv6) and subnet class of the IPs.
-
-We have made our proxy testing script freely available on GitHub. You can use it as a template for developing your own benchmark.
-
-So, now you know how to test your proxies. I hope this will come in handy. If by any chance you find your current proxies lacking, feel free to read our proxy provider reviews. We write about the leading residential proxy services based on in-depth research and extensive performance tests. Good luck!
-
-You can use different methods, such as running them through a proxy tester or using an IP database. We talk more about them in the article.
-
-Three out of the four tools we describe are browser-based. So, you won’t need to install anything for them to work.
-
-There are online proxy testers that ask you to enter a list of IPs. If you’re using paid proxies, such tool may not work because they won’t be able to authenticate your proxies.
-
-The creators shut it down. But you can always use Proxydrop’s proxy checker, which has the same functionality. We talk about it more in the article.

-Can’t use Instagram because of blocks? Here’s how to overcome them.
-
-With 1 billion monthly users, Instagram takes its place as the 3rd most popular social network site after Facebook and YouTube. It continuously expands every day, but even being one of the most popular apps, it is banned in various nations, including China and North Korea. Instagram is banned not only in countries, but schools, workplaces, and public libraries as well. The reason is that it is distracting and reduces productivity. Whether that’s true or not, we believe the decision should be made by the people themselves. There are also cases where Instagram sometimes blocks you for no actual reason as well… In this article, we’ll go through the blocked Instagram cases and the best solution for the problem – Instagram Proxies.
-
-When you buy a proxy for Instagram, you get an IP address that you can use for this specific social platform. This IP address can belong to any specific address anywhere in the world whilst keeping you anonymous. Once you connect through it to your Instagram, the app will see it as your primary IP and will allow you to freely use the social media. There are a few different proxies to use for Instagram, but we’ll go through it a bit later. First – the blocked Instagram cases.
-
-
-
-So, you got yourself into a situation where your personal Instagram account has been blocked. What can be the reasons? Well, there are a few: your IP address got classified as suspicious by Instagram, or your access got restricted due to suspected malicious activity. Whatever the reason is – you need a proxy. With a proxy, you’ll be able to bypass the ban placed on your IP address.
-
-Unfortunately, not everybody can access Instagram. Mostly for political and censorship reasons. That is a strict limitation on freedom of being able to access one of the most popular social media on earth. Luckily there is a way to unblock it with a proxy server. A proxy will route your traffic through a remote server instead of accessing Instagram directly. This way your ISP won’t see that you are actually accessing Instagram, and won’t block you.
-
-Product promotion on social media has become the main thing for digital marketing. But in order to grow your channel, you will need more than one account to succeed. Many companies practice this way of marketing, but problem is that you cannot use more than five accounts on the same IP address. Because social media platforms prefer organic reach, the probability of your accounts used on the same IP getting banned or blocked is highly likely. However, proxies create a chance here for you. As we said before, many companies practice using more than one account. And quite a bit use more than five as well. By using proxies you can hide your various accounts on the same device and have a better chance of promoting your product or service.
-
-
-
-Now, many workplaces, schools or libraries tend to block Instagram as it causes distractions. We believe that this should be a choice and not a restriction, it is that person’s decision, no one else’s. So if you want to go ahead and post, like, and share pictures, a way to go around this restriction is by using a proxy that bypasses such restrictions.
-
-To unblock Instagram with a proxy server, you will first need to choose a provider. We recommend going for residential proxies as they most closely resemble real IP addresses and do not raise suspicion to automated flagging systems. They are more expensive, but offer benefits such as being highly anonymous, fast and reliable. To make your choice easier we have a handy list of best residential proxy providers with in-depth reviews available, so be sure to check it out. After choosing the provider and purchasing your proxies, simply configure your device to connect to Instagram via a proxy and you’re good to go.
-
-It is also worth mentioning that there are a lot of different proxies to choose from: dedicated, residential, shared, etc. Depending on your budget and the need for anonymity, shared proxies could work for those who don’t want to splurge out. They are less expensive, however, they can be quite unreliable, especially for bigger and more popular websites. It is very likely that these sort of proxies are already banned on such websites and you won’t be able to get what you need. That’s why probably the best choice is residential proxies.
-
-Now, this is the important part – choosing the right provider. This will not be that of an easy task if you wish to get your money’s worth. And yes, we suggest you buy your proxies. Free proxies won’t be anonymous or reliable, and also very slow. As mentioned above, the price will depend on the proxies you choose, but it will also depend on the provider as well. But please, be aware that cheaply sold proxies will most likely fail, and you would be buying them at your own risk. Now then we got this out of the way, there are a few main things you need to take into account when choosing a provider:
-
-How do you make sure they are legal? Firstly, don’t buy them from random people – chose companies. Secondly, simply ask them where do their proxies come from.
-
-Also, check out their reviews, and see what other people are talking about them. How to know whether they are fast? Usually, proxy providers promote their speed and uptime on their own website. A legit company won’t lie about it, so it would be safe to trust them. As said previously – check their reviews as well. But keep in mind that because there is a buffer between you and the internet, sometimes you can and most likely will experience some delays.
-
-And lastly, what about locations? This completely depends on the provider. With residential proxies, most offer a wide variety of locations, so that should be no trouble if in need of various locations. Take a look at our list of the best Instagram Proxy Providers.
-
-For whatever reason you want to use Instagram proxies – business or personal, there are a few factors to take into account. But to simply put, before you make any kind of purchase, do your research. Read reviews, check their legitimacy, see what they offer and compare it all.
-
-A proxy is an IP address. When you connect to Instagram, your connection will go through a proxy IP instead of your own IP address. This lets you access Instagram without the restrictions your work or school might have imposed.
-
-Yes. Proxies, and especially residential proxies, can make it seem like you’re connecting from a different location. For example, with an US proxy Instagram will think that you’re in the US, even if you really might be somewhere in Asia.
-
-You can try. But free proxies likely won’t work, and they can even be dangerous.

-Most people use Indian proxies to unlock local content. By sending your connection requests through an Indian proxy server, you appear as if you are from India. This way you can reach websites that are available only to Indian users. Using proxies also lets you protect your IP address and identity. If you want to avoid IP bans and blocks when scraping, you no longer need Indian proxy lists, especially with providers offering rotating proxy services. Here are our top five picks for the best Indian proxy providers.

-We ran a comprehensive series of tests to answer the big question: which Indian proxy server is the best? We evaluated connection speed, connection headers, and other details – including customer support quality – to choose only the most reliable and user-friendly proxy providers for Indian IP addresses. Every one of these proxy servers basically does the same thing: they mask you and your software from the rest of the web. The top-5 proxy services in India provide the cleanest and the most reliable IP addresses. Our research provides interesting key takeaways:
-
-Yes, you can! Proxy services are not malicious tools; they are available legally and have many positive use cases. By using an India proxy server, you will appear as if you are based in India. Millions of people use proxies every day for browsing the internet, playing real-time games, and other activities. Using a proxy to connect to other parts of the internet is not a crime either. Just note that a proxy doesn’t make you invisible or invincible – there are ways to track you other than your IP address.
-
-Yes! That’s one of the main reasons why people use Indian proxies. With an Indian Proxy, you’ll be able not only to watch local shows, read news, and buy items from places in India, but also scrape Indian websites. The last use case is especially attractive to businesses who want to get into or compete in the quickly-growing Indian market.

-Instagram bots and scrapers let you quickly create and grow multiple accounts, automatically engage with your followers, and scrape valuable data, such as hashtags or user profiles. Coupled with Instagram proxies, they provide a powerful – and profitable – way to expand your social media reach and make some money off the platform.
-
-Nowadays, Instagram is very strict about bots and scrapers. But automation is still possible. What is certain is that you’ll need a good Instagram proxy server to avoid your IP address getting blocked. This page will teach you more about Instagram proxies and help you choose the best proxy provider for your Instagram bot.

-The Best Instagram Proxies of 2024 – Quick Summary:
-
-If you prefer video, we have one as well:
-
-An Instagram proxy is a proxy server optimized specifically for Instagram. Nowadays, that means two things:
-
-Otherwise, Instagram proxies are the same as your regular proxy IPs. You can find them on most sites of proxy providers that offer proxies for sneaker copping, Youtube, Craigslist, and so on.
-
-From best to worst:
-
-And as always, never settle for bad service.
-
-The best overall Instagram proxies.
-
-Smartproxy is our editor’s choice, and for good reasons – its proxies are fast and highly scalable. During our latest Proxy Market Research, the mobile proxies reached an average success rate of 97.37%. These addresses come from a pool of 10 million IPs. You can target 130 locations and over 700 ASNs.
-
-The provider also spans a huge – 40 million – residential proxy network with locations worldwide. During our tests, these IPs showed an almost perfect success rate and response time. 
-
-Smartproxy’s ISP proxies come from a pool of 16,000 static addresses in the US. They rotate with every request, but it’s possible to create static sessions that don’t expire. So, it’s a good choice for Instagram account management.
-
-The provider offers great customer support and plenty of content on Instagram automation. The services are simple to use and don’t cost much for what you get. Additional perks include an anti-detect browser, which you can use free of charge with any of the proxy services.
-
-But Smartproxy isn’t perfect for everything. With its mobile and residential proxies, you can create sticky sessions for up to 30 mins, which isn’t ideal for creating multiple accounts. And ISP proxies only support locations in the US.
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing:
-
-Read the Smartproxy review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Mobile proxies with flexible filtering options.
-
-SOAX’s mobile proxy pool has 3.5M IP addresses on 3G and 4G networks. These proxies showed great results – an average of a 98.22% success rate. 
-
-The provider also controls around 5 million residential proxies in over 150 countries and 100,000 ISP addresses in the US. 
-
-SOAX has very flexible filtering options for its mobile and residential proxies. It allows selecting country and region, city, and ASN. And that’s the touchstone for Instagram account management since most social media platforms only tolerate addresses with similar parameters. 
-
-SOAX’s mobile and residential proxies rotate from 90 to 600 seconds, and you can specify custom duration. The ISP addresses can hold sessions for up to 24 hours.
-
-There are a few drawbacks: you’ll have to whitelist your IP address, and you get a limited number of ports with each subscription. 
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing:
-
-Starts from $99 for 15 GB ($6.6/GB) and 300 ports
-
-Read the SOAX review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Instagram proxies with the most features.
-
-Bright Data is one of the largest proxy providers, with a pool of 7 million mobile proxies. These addresses are rarely blocked (avg. success rate: 98.06%). The provider gives you enough freedom to select a mobile carrier and use as many IPs as you want at once.
-
-Bright Data also controls a pool of 72 million rotating and 700,000 static residential proxies worldwide. The mobile and residential proxies cover any country and thousands of cities with carrier targeting. The ISP addresses include 50 locations up to the city level. 
-
-With Bright Data, you’ll get flexible IP rotation options: rotation every request, as long as your IP is available, or further customize with its Proxy Manager. So, you can greatly manipulate your IPs to match your Instagram use case – from web scraping to account management.
-
-The drawbacks? Well, Bright Data considers features like ASN targeting as premium and charges double, whereas other providers offer it for free. The whole user experience can be confusing at times. And its mobile proxies are pretty slow.

-Pricing:

-Read the Bright Data review for more information and performance tests.

-Fast ISP proxies with complete self-service.
-
-Even though Webshare doesn’t offer mobile IPs, it controls an impressive aggregate of 100,000 ISP proxies in 5 locations. Our tests showed that these proxies are fast and they reached an average success rate of 91.84%.
-
-You can get shared, dedicated, and semi-dedicated proxies in lists of static addresses suitable for Instagram account management. If you want to scrape publicly available data, you can rotate these addresses for free with every connection request. 
-
-The provider also has one of the cheaper residential proxies in the market, with 30 million addresses worldwide. 
-
-Both services come with complete self-service and flexible plans. You can select the number of proxies you want, their bandwidth limit, and replace IPs automatically anywhere between several minutes and a month. 
-
-However, the price won’t be that favorable if you want to add features like network priority, refresh or replace proxies. Additionally, the customer service is available only via email.

-Pricing:

-Read the Webshare review for more information and performance tests.
-
-ISP proxies with flexible targeting in the US.
-
-NetNut advertises only one million mobile addresses, but our tests showed it has more unique IPs than some of the larger alternatives. The proxies reached a success rate of 95.68%.
-
-These addresses rotate with every request, but you can hold sticky sessions. By paying extra, you can unlock features like state or city, and get the ability to whitelisted IPs. 
-
-NetNut also sells both static and rotating residential proxies. The rotating residential IPs cover over 150 countries and have a pool of 52 million monthly IPs. The static proxies come from a network of 1 million addresses that you can filter up to the city level. NetNut allows keeping the same IP for as long as it remains available or, in the case of ISP proxies, indefinitely.
-
-On the downside, three in four proxies in NetNut’s unfiltered pool weren’t mobile. Also, they’re very slow.

-Yes, though it’s much harder than it used to be. Marketers still use Instagram automation software, but they have to do things more carefully than before. You will also have to invest into quality proxies and take things slowly. Don’t expect to follow thousands of pages or scrape millions of results per day.
-
-You can buy Instagram proxies from any of the providers on our list. We include various options for account management, scraping, and other tasks.
-
-Yes and no. Last year Instagram hardened its security, so it’s become very hard to use a private proxy for Instagram bots and scraping software. But certain bots like Jarvee allow you to set up so-called “scraper accounts”. Their whole purpose is to help you gather data (so, relevant profiles or hashtags) for further automation tasks. Some marketers have tried using private proxies with such accounts and got satisfactory results.

-Is doing automatic instagram likes and comments safe with proxies? Datacenter or Reisdential?
-
-Well, it’s an activity that Instagram hates and constantly tries to overcome – so I wouldn’t really call it safe. But your best bet would be to use residential or mobile proies for that.
-
-I want to start a travel instagram profile, and it seems that there is a huge competition. I want make the competitor analysis like which hashtags they use, how many followers they have and so on. Does instagram allow scraping? Because there is like 5…

-Instagram doesn’t really allow scraping it – it’s against the terms of service. But people do it anyway.

-IPRoyal can’t really compete with the leading proxy providers in pool size or features. But it sure can in price – especially if you’re a sneakerhead or small-time web scraper.
-
-Use the code PROXYWAY30 to get a 30% discount.
-
-IPRoyal offers a wide variety of products for sneakerheads and web scrapers on a budget. They’re priced aggressively enough to cause serious headaches for IPRoyal’s competitors, and for you to consider the company as your provider of choice. $7 for 1 GB of residential proxies and no monthly commitments? That’s a pretty good deal. 
-
-But low prices always carry compromises. What will IPRoyal’s be? And will its products pack enough punch to justify the provider over PacketStream, Smartproxy, or even premium competitors like Bright Data? Let’s find out.
-
-
-				If you’ve come from Google, you may be interested in IPRoyal’s Pawns.app. We compare it with similar services here. 			
-
-IPRoyal Rebrands, Adds Features, Raises Prices
-
-IPRoyal’s Home-Grown Residential Pool Reaches 250,000 Monthly IPs
-
-IPRoyal Loses One of Its Residential Proxy Pools
-
-IPRoyal started out in late 2020. It initially focused on renting IP space to other companies, but the attention quickly shifted to selling proxies directly to customers. Today, the provider offers four different proxy networks that cover all IP types. 
-
-IPRoyal runs its own residential proxy pool via a bandwidth-sharing app called Pawns. In a few years, the provider has managed to grow the network to several million IPs. This is an impressive feat, and it also lets IPRoyal claim that the proxies are sourced ethically.  
-
-IPRoyal used to be among the most affordable services, in line with Storm Proxies and PacketStream. It also put much focus on sneakerheads, with special datacenter plans and residential proxy endpoints for stores like Nike. 
-
-After a price hike in 2022, IPRoyal nears closer to mid-range providers like Smartproxy. Still, small users remain the company’s main audience, even if it wouldn’t mind selling you terabytes of residential traffic for a large project or reselling. 
-
-According to the CEO Karolis Toleikis, IPRoyal’s ambition is to grow into a top three provider in the near future. Considering that its traffic use grew 10 times comparing 2021 and 2022, the company is on the right track. 
-
-IPRoyal sells general-purpose and sneaker-optimized datacenter proxies. These are dedicated addresses that come in static lists.
-
-
-				Static proxies with very few limitations. 			
-
-Format: IP listLocations: 30+ countries, one per planRotation: –Threads: Unlimited
-
-Traffic: UnlimitedSOCKS5: ✅Authentication: CredentialsOther: Sneaker plans, monthly refresh
-
-IPRoyal’s datacenter proxies are pretty much unlimited: you can establish as many threads or send as much traffic as you like. Furthermore, they support SOCKS5 for traffic-intensive use cases, streaming, or games.
-
-The number of locations is also impressive, with 30 countries to choose from. There are only two issues: you can select one country per plan, and some countries may have few or no IPs available at times. For example, IPRoyal had no Canadian or Singapore proxies in stock when I checked.
-
-The format is a simple IP list assigned randomly. You can refresh it for free once per month or keep the same proxies during the whole subscription period.
-
-IPRoyal’s sneaker-optimized addresses have identical features – the single difference is that you’ll need to specify your target website during purchase.
-
-
-				    Attractive rates that don’t scale much. 			
-
-Format: Subscription (30, 60, 90 days)Model: IPsSelf-service: ✅
-
-Starting price: $9 for 5 IPsPrice modifiers: ❌Trial: 24-hour refund
-
-IPRoyal’s datacenter proxies use a subscription-based pricing model. You can get a monthly plan, pay every two months (5% off) or three months (10% off). With sneaker-optimized proxies, it’s also possible to get one-day’s access.
-
-The provider charges only for the number of IPs you get. Unlike some alternatives, the pricing isn’t impacted by location, traffic, or target.
-
-You can choose any number of proxies you want, starting from five IPs. IPRoyal doesn’t show in advance how many addresses are available, but it’ll inform you if you try to buy too many. The pricing stops scaling at 100 proxies – but even then, IPRoyal remains among the cheaper providers until 300-500 IPs. 
-
-Compared to the regular datacenter proxies, IPRoyal’s sneaker-optimized servers cost more. The difference ranges between 10-20%, which isn’t significant.
-
-
-				    Decent speed and IP quality. 			
-
-#1: Download speed
-
-We tested 10 IPs using DigitalOcean’s 100 MB NYC benchmark.
-
-#2: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Based on marketing numbers, IPRoyal’s residential proxy pool includes two million IPs. The provider sources these proxies through Pawns.app, where users voluntarily share their bandwidth for pay. 
-
-
-				    Flexible filtering options, SOCKS5. 			
-
-Format: Proxy pool with two million IPsLocations: All countriesFiltering: Region, country, state, city, ASN (enterprise clients)Rotation: Every request, 1 s – 7 days
-
-IPRoyal’s residential proxies check most boxes.
-
-First, you get flexible location targeting options. This includes not only countries (which you cna target up to two at a time) but also states and cities. IPRoyal offers additional filters as well, namely regions (like Europe) and even shoe websites (for example, Zalando). ASN targeting is technically available but only to customers with thousands of dollars in spending.
-
-The rotation options are generous, too. It’s possible to get a new proxy with every connection request, or you can freely specify a sticky session between one second and seven days. Of course, you’re very unlikely to actually keep the same IP for that long.
-
-IPRoyal has one more interesting feature – high-end pool. It should cut off slower and less stable proxies at the expense of fewer available IPs.
-
-
-				    No commitment, no expiration, affordable rates.			
-
-IPRoyal uses a pay-as-you-go based pricing model for its residential proxies. You can buy any number of gigabytes you wish, and they’ll stay there until used.
-
-Getting more traffic gives an increasing discount (an order of 2 GB costs 15% less/GB than 1 GB). So, it makes sense to buy as much as you need in one go to save money. 
-
-Compared to premium and most mid-range competitors, IPRoyal’s prices are cheap. Even after a significant price hike in 2022, the service costs less than SOAX, Rayobyte, or Smartproxy. IPRoyal also scales well and encourages bulk purchases, providing public rates for up to 10 TB of data.
-
-
-				    Mediocre. 			
-
-We last tested IPRoyal’s residential proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 1M requests over 21 days using the unfiltered pool, 500,000 requests over 14 days using the country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-While not large, IPRoyal’s proxy network had a respectable number of IPs in major locations. Furthermore, an IP database identified most of the proxies as coming from landline or mobile connections.
-
-In the context of other providers, however, IPRoyal’s residential network was second to last in size. Only PacketStream returned fewer unique IPs.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-IPRoyal’s success rate was mediocre overall and especially low in Australia. Roughly one in 10 requests failed under ideal conditions, which was the worst result among the providers we tested.
-
-The same applied to connection latency – IPRoyal came dead last, with a response time that was over seven times slower compared to market leaders.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-To start using IPRoyal, you must first fill in a registration form. It requires entering your name, surname, and phone number as personal details, and you might need to confirm the registration via your phone. Once done, you get to enter the dashboard, where you can buy and manage access to IPRoyal’s proxy networks. 
-
-With the exception of static residential proxies, KYC isn’t obligatory. But without it your use of proxies will be limited. In the case of residential IPs, you’ll be able to access only 40% of the pool. In addition, IPRoyal will block Facebook, LinkedIn, and several other websites.
-
-The identity verification process involves sending an ID to a third-party service called Idenfy.
-
-IPRoyal’s dashboard is divided into self-contained sections for each product. They let you buy proxies, authenticate them, and track use where possible. They even have separate order histories – almost as if you were using five different dashboards instead of one. 
-
-So, you only need to leave your tab to change the account settings – or deposit money if you opt to use the dashboard’s wallet functionality. 
-
-If you add at least $200, IPRoyal enables its reseller tools: a separate tab for managing sub-users and an API for doing the same tasks programmatically. The API documentation is well maintained and supports major programming languages. 
-
-IPRoyal lets you buy proxies using two methods. One is to deposit money onto the platform; the second is to create orders directly. The difference is that the former option lets you pay with Bitcoin. You can also use it to extend monthly subscriptions or top-up residential traffic without making additional money transfers. 
-
-You can track orders and generate invoices under separate proxy types. It’s possible to add a note to an order and then search by note, which is a nice touch for usability.
-
-Once you’ve bought a plan, the proxy setup procedure depends on which proxy type you get. 
-
-For example, IPRoyal’s residential proxies give you a widget with multiple options. You can choose a location (or multiple locations), rotation duration, and connection protocol. There are some extra options as well: selecting between several proxy formats, IP or DNS hostname. Once done, you can copy or download the generated list of endpoints.
-
-With datacenter or ISP proxies, IPRoyal simply displays a list of assigned IPs.  
-
-The tab for IPRoyal’s residential proxies has a graph that shows your traffic expenditure over time. You can freely choose the start and end dates, as well as filter the graph by the websites you accessed. 
-
-Alternatively, you can download a data usage report by entering a username, date range, and your preferred data measurement unit. IPRoyal creates a CSV file that shows daily traffic use per target. It’s not the most convenient reporting format but still better than nothing.
-
-Finally, you can opt to get automated traffic reminders by email. 
-
-Though IPRoyal has improved, it still has issues with providing information. The APIs are reasonably well documented, and the product pages do a decent job answering main concerns. However, you’ll find very few configuration instructions, troubleshooting guides, and other helpful information that providers like Smartproxy and Bright Data have in spades. 
-
-IPRoyal answers queries 24/7 via live chat, email, and Discord. We tried contacting the support via live chat; an agent responded within a minute and competently answered as many questions as we threw at them. Color me impressed.
-
-Like many other new proxy providers, IPRoyal is very much an exercise in compromise. You give up some features, encounter rough edges in user experience – and in this case, have to make do with a smaller proxy pool. In return, you pay less, hoping that the product that is there will be able to meet your needs. 
-
-Well, will it?
-
-Once again, it depends: the residential proxy pool should be just fine for small-time use, with varying performance and IP numbers for different locations. It can’t measure up to the premium providers yet, but the service is improving fast. And the upsides make a compelling case: $7/GB, non-expiring traffic, and some of the most flexible IP rotation settings I’ve seen. 
-
-I’m afraid to think what an enterprise whale would do to the pool now, but IPRoyal’s growth is promising. So, you can surely try it for most tasks today – after all, the price is right, – just be aware of the limitations.
-
-Smartproxy has similar rates, great user experience, and residential proxies that perform better. It’s probably the main alternative that you should consider. 
-
-Read the review
-
-Rayobyte is a strong pick if you need datacenter or ISP proxies. Its residential addresses perform similarly and also offer paying as you go, but the pool is small.
-
-Read the review
-
-Bright Data has more features, more flexibility, and it’s one of the top choices overall. Consider it if you found IPRoyal lacking and don’t mind paying more.

-We created this list only after extensively testing each proxy provider to ensure a good user experience.
-
-We first measured performance: stability, connection speed, and success rate of a proxy in Japan. We did these tests by running 500 connections simultaneously. We found out that only these proxy providers can easily overcome performance issues with servers in Japan.
-
-We then considered the providers for their features. We made sure they offer enough proxies in Japan, are good for scraping and other tasks. We also took into account their ease of use and quality of customer service.
-
-These were the main criteria of how we ranked the best Japan proxy providers. Each provider on this list has its own unique features. But no matter which one you choose, they will let you browse anonymously with a Japanese IP and unblock localized content for data scraping.
-
-These Japanese proxy servers will work on all operating systems, including desktops or tablets. Every provider in the list supplies users with real residential IP addresses, which are highly resistant to blocking.
-
-Each provider has different documentations and setup flows. Most of the time, you will set up a connection through Japan in no time, because these proxy providers are quite advanced and always improving their user experience.
-
-It would be nice to have free and unlimited access to a Japanese proxy IP. But free proxies almost always come at the risk of having your ID, financial details and personal information stolen from you. On top of that, you will be losing your privacy and anonymity since free Japan proxy providers will be able to track all your activity. They do this by spying on users to mine browsing patterns for targeted ads, or maybe even for potential hacking.
-
-All 5 best Japan proxy service providers on this list are ethical, registered companies that have a reliable business partnership with their users. Trusting a premium proxy provider is the smart way to go.
-
-A local proxy in Japan lets you access restricted, region-blocked content and buy exclusive products at the local price. If you’re running a business, Japan proxy IP providers open up the opportunity to create a market for yourself by letting you scrape data, access region-blocked marketing info, and even form a local social media presence.
-
-Others might find Japanese proxies useful when buying retail goods, checking Japanese prices, news and local flight information or streaming services. Many people use these proxies for sneaker bots and buy limited edition clothes from BAPE and other Japanese stores.
-
-It is perfectly legal to use a Japanese proxy server. Still, you should review a website’s terms of service if you use a proxy to access geo-blocked content or scrape public data from Japanese websites. What we can tell you is that criminal activity of any kind can be traced back to the user, even if you mask your IP with a Japan proxy.
-
-Yes. You can scrape data privately, gather marketing intelligence to find a local target audience, or just to get past a banned IP address by using any Japan proxy service provider on this page.

-Our take on the oldest and among the best sneaker bots.
-
-Nike Shoe Bot is a robust sneaker bot for Windows and macOS. It works with most major shoe stores, including Adidas, Yeezys, Footlocker, and over 100 Shopify sites. With a user-friendly interface, multiple task support, release monitor, and Captcha solver, Nike Shoe Bot has everything you need to dominate limited shoe releases.  Let’s take a closer look at NSB and see if it’s worth your hard-earned cash.
-
-Nike Shoe Bot claims to be the “oldest sneaker bot”. It was originally built to cop Nike. Despite tough competition, NSB has managed to hold strong and remains a top choice in the sneakerhead community. The bot’s developers still actively update the app, and its Twitter profile is packed with pictures of successful drops.
-
-Over time, the Nike Shoe Bot’s creators have managed to expand the list of supported websites, turning it into an all in one bot. Ironically, nowadays Nike is the only website NSB doesn’t support. However, it does seem to work very well with Shopify.
-
-Nike Shoe Bot includes all the major features that make automated shoe copping possible:
-
-Just like any other modern sneaker bot, NSB allows creating and running multiple simultaneous tasks. This is crucial if you want to cop several sneaker pairs at once. Even if it’s one pair you’re after, more tasks will give you a better chance to succeed. A nice touch is that you can select and edit tasks in bulk. You can also assign different proxy lists and billing profiles for your chosen websites.  There are four modes to choose from:
-
-
-				Tip: Unless you’re experienced, don’t try to set the mode by yourself. Your cook group should give you the instructions. Not in a cook group? Find one!
-
-			
-
-Nike Shoe Bot lets you monitor sneaker websites before releases. This works by assigning a proxy list, selecting your keywords or early links, and letting the bot continuously crawl the site with a small delay. If the monitor detects that a release has started, it can automatically trigger your tasks. So in theory, you can cop without doing anything yourself. Sadly, that rarely works in practice.
-
-The latest version of Nike Shoe Bot also has integrated Discord support, so you can hook up the monitor of your cook group.
-
-
-				Tip: If you have spare proxies, try to leave the monitor on even after the drop. Retailers sometimes restock, and this will give you another chance to get the grail.
-
-			
-
-With the NSB bot, you can create multiple billing profiles. They consist of buyer’s information, shipping information, and credit card details. You can select a checkout limit for each profile to avoid spending too much and revealing your accounts as bots. The limit can be set to be once per site or once per a site’s item.
-
-
-				Tip: Shoe sites don’t check your billing information that diligently. You can jig it by writing st. instead of street or slightly changing other details for more accounts.
-
-			
-
-Captchas are unavoidable when sneaker copping. NSB has built a manual Captcha solver to make your job less painful.
-
-The solver allows you to watch Youtube videos or use an established Gmail account to generate Captcha tokens before the drop. Having these tokens ensures that you’ll be getting one-click captchas instead of pictures with stoplights, busses, or similar nonsense. This is a huge time saver.
-
-
-				Tip: Don’t overdo it with the tasks. Otherwise, you might not be able to solve all the Captchas and your copping will fail.
-
-			
-
-The NSB bot supports multiple proxy lists that you can name. It’s simply a text input field, where you enter IPs.
-
-If you’re not sure where to get the right proxies for sneaker copping, have a look at our list of best sneaker proxies. Choosing the right proxies can make or break your success.
-
-
-				Tip: Try not to use the same proxies for multiple tasks. It only increases your chances of getting blocked.
-
-			
-
-If you buy Nike Shoe Bot and want to start cooking sneakers with reliable proxies, we recommend using residential IP addresses from trusted proxy providers. All of the providers we review on Proxyway have robust networks that can handle hyped sneaker releases.
-
-As a rule of thumb, only choose residential proxies that have geographic targeting, so you can use IP addresses close to the server of your target site. Rotating proxies work very well for monitoring links with Nike Shoe Bot.
-
-Nike Shoe Bot is pretty straightforward to use: set up your billing accounts, load up your proxies, fire up monitoring (not obligatory), and create tasks for the release you’re after. When the drop is underway, complete the Captchas that pop up, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get your dream kicks! It also has one-click Captcha support and you can set tasks to force captchas as you prepare for a hyped release.
-
-The setup and copping process is made simple by Nike Shoe Bot’s user interface. The dark colours are easy on the eyes, and everything is laid out in a way that makes sense. User experience is really one of NSB’s strong points.
-
-Nike Shoe Bot doesn’t come cheap – a year’s subscription will cost you $499. For comparison, AIOBot asks $325 for a lifetime license; Cybersole goes for £300 and has a £100 renewal fee every six months. But it still beats some hyped bots that cost up to $4,500 on the bot resale market.
-
-For the price, you’ll get a download link to the bot paired with an extensive user manual. You’ll also have access to the NSB Discord community. There you can receive help and notifications about new sneaker drops a few hours before the release.
-
-
-				Tip: If you buy a sneaker bot from a reseller, make sure to get the Discord account. Some work only through and are tied to your Discord account.
-
-			
-
-To wrap this up, Nike Shoe Bot is a powerful sneaker bot that has all the features you might need to compete – and win. If anything does hold you back, it will most likely be the pricing. Should you pay half a grand every year? If you’re serious about sneaker copping, I’d strongly consider it.
-
-Yes, and there’s plenty of social proof on Twitter. Whether it will work for you is another question, and it depends on many more factors than the bot alone. Which shoe site are you trying to cop? Which proxies are you using? Do you have a VPS? Have you set up everything up correctly? Professional sneaker copping can be like a second job, so don’t be sad if your first few tries fail.
-
-No. Despite what its name might suggest, Nike Shoe Bot doesn’t work on Nike websites or the SNKRS app.
-
-A year’s subscription will cost you $499.

-Probably the best review out there. Are you going to do the same with other providers?
-
-We should review more sneaker bots eventually. 🙂
-
-NSB is around 500$, right? Any bot that costs less and works just as good? Asking for a friend 😀
-
-Chef, it really depends on which site you’re trying to buy sneakers from. 🙂
-
-Is this a good user friendly bot for a first timer without a lot of tech experience?
-
-It’s pretty expensive, so I’d say yes if you can afford it. Setting up the bot isn’t very hard, as long as you follow the instructions. But be aware that the copping process itself requires experience, and you might need to give it a few tries before you…
-
-is nike shoe bot legit? I keep hearing about people discussing other bots mostly on Tiwitter. Seems to me that NSB doesn’t get that much attention.
-
-It’s legit. NikeShoeBot consistently performs well with the sites it supports, especially Shopify (at least it used to). It’s an old bot that’s always available, so maybe this is the reason it receives less hype.
-
-Does nsb support snkrs? What about other apps?
-
-No. Despite its name, NBS doesn’t support Nike. Which is pretty ironic.
-
-Yoo nsb is the goat 🔥 i’m about to use it for the 4D fusio drop this month, gonna be my first. Dunno how to set it up right. I heard smartproxy is one of the best proxies for nsb, that true?
-
-Smartproxy is a good choice, so are several other providers. You can read our list on the best sneaker proxies for more options.
-
-Nanek, owner is always looking to improve the bot too. Every good botter has used/still uses NSB.

-The sheer scale and performance of Oxylabs’ proxy networks has few equals. Coupled with advanced web scraping tools and professional customer service, it can meet the data collection needs of any business.
-
-Use the code proxyway35 to get a 35% discount.
-
-Oxylabs is a major proxy provider that competes with services like Bright Data and NetNut for business clients. It’s currently the best-rated company on this website, and one that received our Best Proxy Performance award in 2023. These two details indicate that we consider the provider to be a very strong pick – maybe even for smaller projects that require quality infrastructure.
-
-In this review, we’ll go through Oxylabs’ main products to see how they fare against the alternatives. In addition to a general overview, you’ll find detailed performance benchmarks based on several weeks of testing. Let’s go!

-Oxylabs Cuts Residential Proxy Prices, Adds Coordinate Targeting
-
-OxyCon 2023: A Recap
-
-Datacenter (dedicated, rotating)ISP (dedicated, rotating)ResidentialMobileProxy API (Web Unblocker)
-
-Oxylabs is a Lithuanian proxy provider running since 2015. It’s one of the biggest companies in the field, offering all kinds of proxy services and several data collection APIs that can help you scrape just about any target. 
-
-Oxylabs primarily targets business clients. This reflects everywhere: from a prim and tidy website, to a list of certifications on the homepage and a dedicated account manager. Heck, its products even have insurance! – that’s a first for a proxy company. However, that also means you’ll be paying above-average prices. 
-
-This orientation toward enterprises means that Oxylabs would like to lock you into a long-term contract and foster the relationship through account managers. But lately, the provider has been opening up its platform, putting increasing emphasis on self-service and cheaper entry plans.
-
-As a company, Oxylabs invests much effort into business ethics. The provider has made a framework for ethical proxy acquisition and that it’s a member of the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (you can read our interviews on proxy ethicality and KYC guidelines). In addition, Oxylabs partners with governmental and non-profit organizations through projects like 4beta.
-
-Oxylabs controls the largest network of datacenter proxies in the world – over 2 million IPs from nearly 8,000 subnets. You can buy two kinds of products:
-
-Oxylabs’ dedicated datacenter proxies look impressive. They have nearly no limitations, support SOCKS5, and come from over 150 locations, with an ability to specify states and cities. Their only drawback is no rotation, but that too can be overcome with the provider’s Proxy Rotator add-on.
-
-With a stock of 2 million IPs, you can scale as much as you need. What’s more, this ensures high IP diversity, which is always welcome for avoiding subnet and ASN-related bans.
-
-The rotating proxies revolve around (no pun intended) the US: there are 10,000 IPs there. Western European countries like the UK and France include 2,000 each, while most Asian locations have 1,000. The service is intended for web scraping, so it can switch IP addresses with each connection request or create limited duration sessions. Compared to the dedicated proxies, there’s no SOCKS5 or city-level targeting.
-
-Both dedicated and rotating proxies use a subscription-based pricing model. It renews automatically after the billing period.
-
-Oxylabs’ dedicated service bases its rates on the number of IPs you get. Proxies in the US cost the least, while choosing other countries costs up to 66% more. In addition, you may need to pay a different rate for some targets. There’s no self-service for this product, so its pricing is somewhat opaque.
-
-Still, looking at the advertised rates, Oxylabs is actually affordable for a premium provider – if you need at least 100 IPs in the US. Otherwise, its prices are above average until you scale up. Oxylabs allows replacing 20% of the proxies per quarter without paying.
-
-The rotating proxies charge only for traffic use. Starting at $.65/GB and reaching $.44/GB at scale, they cost around the industry average. This service is much easier to pick up, as you can go and buy a plan without dealing with salespeople.
-
-We last tested Oxylabs’ rotating proxy pool and 100 dedicated US proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Infrastructure performance (rotating proxies)
-
-We ran 50,000 connection requests using Oxylabs’ US-filtered rotating proxies. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-#2: Download speed
-
-We tested 10 rotating and 10 dedicated IPs using DigitalOcean’s 100 MB NYC benchmark.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Both products displayed similar results: high success rates and respectable latency. The dedicated proxies had a slight edge, but the difference was negligible at this scale.
-
-Oxylabs controls around 100 million monthly residential proxies – the largest number on the market. They’re sourced via Honeygain (a bandwidth-sharing app) and partnerships with other app developers.
-
-Format: Proxy pool with 100M IPsLocations: All countriesFiltering: Country, state, city, ZIP codeRotation: Every request, 1-30 mins
-
-The service is fully-featured. You can choose from any country in the world and then further specify a state, city, and even ZIP code. Very few providers offer the latter option. Targeting by ASN is also available but only to select customers.
-
-Like most residential proxies, these use the format of endpoint:port. You can rotate IPs with every connection request or establish a sticky session for up to 30 minutes. Oxylabs’ customers in China get two separate endpoints for better connectivity.
-
-As of mid-2023, the residential proxies support the SOCKS5 protocol. However, it’s limited to TCP and website traffic for now. One more important point: Oxylabs blocks access to Google with this product.
-
-Oxylabs charges for traffic only. You can pay as you go at a fixed rate of $10/GB – this method lets you buy up to 50 GB of traffic per month. Otherwise, the cheapest plan starts at $99 ($9/GB). If you reach the cap of any plan, there’s an option to top up without getting a new plan.
-
-Compared to the market prices, Oxylabs charges a premium. But the provider’s rates aren’t that bad in this category: it costs less than Bright Data, especially if you need precise location targeting, and significantly less compared to NetNut.
-
-We last tested Oxylabs’ residential proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 1M requests over 21 days using the unfiltered pool, 500,000 requests over 14 days using the country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-Oxylabs can evidently back up its marketing claims. 3 out of 4 requests gave us a unique IP address in the unfiltered gateway, and we found over 250k American IPs. Even in Australia, where proxies are to come by, Oxylabs was able to produce over 30,000 IP addresses.
-
-And while this isn’t the best result looking only at the unfiltered gateway, Oxylabs led the pack in individual country pools, together with Smartproxy.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-These residential proxies were incredibly performant. Oxylabs’ infrastructure let us down very few times, and its latency was simply amazing for residential addresses. The provider was faster than all competitors in our tests, sometimes by as many as seven times!
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-The residential proxies were able to access all tested websites smoothly. Unfortunately, they don’t work with Google – but that’s a managerial rather than technical limitation.
-
-Format: Proxy pool with 20M IPsLocations: All countriesFiltering: Country, state, city, co-ordinates, ASNRotation: Every request, 1-30 mins
-
-Threads: UnlimitedTraffic: Plan basedSOCKS5: ✅Authentication: Credentials, IP whitelist
-
-The mobile proxy network supports the majority of features customers could look for. You can select any country and further filter proxies by state or ASN (carrier), and even co-ordinates. 
-
-Being peer-to-peer proxies, they need to rotate. You can select to do that every connection request or create sessions. There’s no limit for parallel connections, so you can use as many IPs at once as you like.
-
-As of recently, Oxylabs enabled the SOCKS5 protocol. However, it only supports web traffic over TCP. Also, it’s important to know that the provider blocks Google by default.
-
-You can get Oxylabs’ mobile proxies by subscribing to a plan, which start from $200 ($20/GB). Or, you can buy up to 50 GB of traffic without a subscription at a fixed rate of $22/GB. In any case, any unused traffic expires after a month.
-
-If your needs are large, it naturally makes sense to get a plan. The largest option on display ($4,200) brings the price down to $14/GB. Compared to residential proxies, that’s a lot. However, Oxylabs looks good in relation to other premium services.
-
-We last tested Oxylabs’ mobile proxies in March 2023.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 280,000 requests over 14 days using the unfiltered pool and country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-The target benchmarks mimicked Oxylabs’ infrastructure results, which is to say they were good. Amazon was the only website to cause the provider some issues – mostly due to timeouts.
-
-You can start using Oxylabs in three ways. First, there’s the usual route: fill in a registration form, confirm your email, and you’re done. The second option is to use your Google account to sign up.
-
-The third method is aimed at businesses: instead of simply creating an account, you can choose to contact sales. This will require entering your full name, business email, phone number, and industry. Afterwards, a salesman will get in touch and discuss the options with you. 
-
-In any case, you’ll have to go through a KYC procedure before you can start using the services. It’s a standard practice with premium proxy providers.
-
-When you log in, you’ll find yourself in the Oxylabs dashboard. It has a main window with information about product use and links to resources, separate sections for each product, and a section for subscription management.
-
-The sections expand into smaller sub-sections with more options. For instance, Residential Proxies lets you track proxy usage, manage authorization settings, access the public API and relevant documentation. My Account shows your active products and invoices. 
-
-If you need help, there’s a button to contact an account manager. The button leads to an email, so it’s not very useful in emergencies. For that, there’s another button on the right that connects you to a support agent over live chat.
-
-You can use the dashboard in English or switch to Chinese.
-
-Oxylabs supports self-service for some but not all of its products. You can buy the other products by contacting sales.
-
-There is no wallet functionality, so you’ll have to make a transaction every time a plan renews. This isn’t ideal but also not a huge problem, as you’ll likely be making payments monthly.
-
-The dashboard shows how much time remains until the subscription renews. It also contains a list of downloadable invoices.
-
-The proxy setup procedure depends on the proxy type. For the datacenter IPs, it’s very simple: authenticate your proxies in the dashboard (either with credentials or your IP) and download the proxy list. 
-
-The rotating proxies use backconnect gateway servers. They come in the form of hostname:port. You can either adjust the port number to change location and rotation options or add parameters to the username. The second option is more powerful, as it allows you to specify a state and city.  
-
-1. Making a sticky session in the US by changing ports: us-pr.oxylabs.io:10001 - 19999:USERNAME:PASSWORD
-
-2. Making a sticky session in the US by altering the username:pr.oxylabs.io:7777:customer-USERNAME-cc-US-sessid-1:PASSWORD
-
-Oxylabs has a handy widget to aid with proxy setup. It lets you select the main parameters (location, rotation, etc.) one by one and then generates any number of endpoints you specify.
-
-Some products, like the rotating datacenter proxies, don’t have a widget. Instead, you’ll have to head to Oxylabs’ documentation page and follow the instructions there. Thankfully, it’s rich with information and provides useful examples. 
-
-You’ll find usage graphs in the dashboard. Their functionality differs by product type.
-
-The rotating proxy networks focus on traffic use, though they also show the number of requests you’ve requests made. You can filter them by sub-user.
-
-The APIs show response time, daily and total requests.
-
-Surprisingly, the static proxy networks have the most detailed usage statistics. They track not only traffic use and the number of requests made but also HTML codes. You can select to filter data by target or subnet.
-
-All usage graphs allow selecting custom data ranges. This is convenient considering that some providers limit them to a few pre-sets.
-
-If you want to access the IPs programmatically, Oxylabs has several public APIs. The residential API focuses on managing access and tracking use. The datacenter API allows retrieving proxy lists, whitelisting IP addresses, and monitoring offline proxies. 
-
-For non-technical questions, Oxylabs provides an FAQ called Learning Hub. It answers the most frequently encountered queries and is aimed at prospective or new users. Newbies can also read multiple quick-start guides which provide the main information about a particular product in one place.
-
-The technical documentation includes comprehensive usage instructions for each of Oxylabs’ products. The instructions have examples in multiple programming languages, and you can find integration guides with third party software.
-
-Oxylabs gives each client a dedicated account manager who answers all of your questions via email or chat. Outside of working hours, or if you need technical help, you can request instant help from the customer support team. The support speaks in English, Russian, Chinese, and Lithuanian.
-
-In any case, communication is smooth and professional. Even when we asked technical questions, we got fast and well-explained answers.
-
-We also tested how fast the customer support is and asked a question via live chat. The reply came in about 2 minutes, which is hard to beat.
-
-Like I said: expectations. If you fall into Oxylabs’ target audience, you can be sure you won’t be disappointed.
-
-It’s not the kind of service where you put something into a cart, pay for it, walk through the door with some flimsy instruction manual, and that’s that.
-
-We’re talking business here: subtle, polished, and no-nonsense. You’ll be making relationships with real people who will remember your name, needs, and proactively try to keep you content. You’ll receive good service, and even more importantly – one that’s reliable. The proxies really are top-notch, and so is the scraping tool.
-
-In a nutshell, you’ll be in good hands.
-
-In return, you will be paying more. And some products require going through the whole sales ritual – which is okay for enterprises, but smaller businesses may find it too much.  The pricing becomes much more attractive with advanced plans; however, at that point we’re dealing with 1TB of data or 5,000 IPs.
-
-It all boils down to two questions: do you need the best proxy service available and will you make full use of it? If yes, then you might have just found yourself a proxy provider.
-
-Smartproxy is the first place to go if Oxylabs is out of your budget range. It offers similar performance, great user experience, and proxy-based tools. However, there are fewer features.
-
-Read the review
-
-Bright Data is another strong option with more features and powerful proxy management tools. It also sells proxy-based web scraping APIs and even complete data sets.
-
-Read the review
-
-SOAX is another alternative for SMBs eyeing a reliable service. It has a smaller but stable pool of residential & mobile IPs with very flexible filtering options out of the box.

-you never mention WHERE THE COMPANY IS BASED

-Hosa, thanks for the feedback. Oxylabs is based in Lithuania. I’ll update the introduction to include this.
-
-Guys, I saw u recommend Oxylabs for sneakers. I mean their probably a great provider, but I never saw them promoting their proxies for sneakers. Whats up with that?
-
-Oxylabs has great proxies for sneakers – at least looking at the features and performance. The provider doesn’t promote this use case because it targets larger business customers – and $300 is a lot of money for regular sneakerheads. Still, I’m sure …
-
-Damn, wish they would offer a cheaper plan 🙁 But despite that, they look like a perfect provider!
-
-In your opinion, how does Oxylabs fare against Luminati or Geosurf in the terms of being user-friendly? I mean the whole interface, easiness to get around or to find get used to all the features they offer?
-
-Sid, I think all three are relatively user friendly. Luminati can be intimidating at first, but they’ve made plenty of tutorials to help you get around.
-
-Oxylabs have a resellers/sneakerhead package of residential proxies of which are more expensive (for the same quantity) than their normal residential proxies. Will Oxylabs normal residential proxies be exactly the same as the resellers package or would t…
-
-We haven’t mapped the IPs against one another, so we can’t say. But the reseller proxies might have other value-added features like speed checking or protection against overload.

-Would have loved to see how the different proxy networks perform on ipqualityscore.com ( very strict)

-Over the last few years, the proxy market has greatly expanded. Now, proxies aren’t only used for shady practices such as black hat SEO. Instead, they benefit many areas of expertise. For instance, individuals use proxy servers to access geo-restricted content, overcome website blocks, improve privacy, buy limited edition items or simply to change their IP address. Meanwhile, businesses take advantage of web scraping, data aggregation, market research, SEO monitoring, and many other use cases.
-
-However, it’s quite hard to choose a trustworthy proxy service with so many companies on the market. Anything could lie beneath unrealistic marketing slogans, from unethically sourced IP addresses to false promises about how many IP addresses provider controls.
-
-So, how do you know what you’re getting? Most people read the reviews to get an honest opinion of each providers’ products. However, this process is resource-intensive. To save you both time and money, we used our expertise in the market to test the most prominent proxy server providers. We test all types of proxies they offer. Here’s what we’ve found out.
-
-The Best Proxy Server Providers of 2024 – Quick Summary:
-
-Since there are no industry standards set on how you should test proxies, we used our technical knowledge and experience to create our own. The result is two main tests: a performance test and a manual analysis. The performance test looked into each provider’s proxy pool size, quality, success rate, and other aspects.
-
-Meanwhile, the manual analysis dwelled into features, user experience, price, and customer service. We compiled all of the data to the only and most extensive Proxy Market Research.
-
-We won’t be looking at best free proxy servers. Why? Let’s face it: free proxy servers are terrible for anything beyond the most basic tasks. Are you interesting in hiding your IP address and browsing the web anonymously? Don’t use free proxy server that can track your every move. Unprotected web proxy server can steal your data or inject ads into websites you visit. On top of that, they’ll be slow and often already blocked or abused.
-
-None of the proxy providers in our list are free. Heck, aside from Smartproxy, PacketStream and IPRoyal, the best anonymous proxy services aren’t even cheap! That’s because good service costs money, and we’re looking at the best the proxy server market has to offer.
-
-The best value provider.
-
-
-
-Smartproxy is definitely a smart choice. It has shared and private datacenter, residential, and mobile proxies. Let’s break down everything this provider has to offer.
-
-First of all, the proxies come in huge proxy pools, covering many countries worldwide. All the products provide access to the full IP pool (except IP-based datacenter proxies).
-
-We were pleasantly surprised by Smartproxy’s near-perfect connection success rate and fast response time with most products. For example, its residential proxies reached a response time of 0.57 s with a success rate of 99.43%. The provider managed to beat the market’s veterans like Bright Data.
-
-Besides its premium performance, the provider stands out with user experience. It has extensive documentation, convenient proxy management tools like a browser extension, and award-winning customer service available 24/7. You also get free apps like an antidetect browser or a proxy address generator if you subscribe to any of the provider’s products.
-
-The best part about the service is affordable pricing. Smartproxy has very competitive prices; it stands somewhere in the middle between cheap and premium providers. Let’s take the provider’s residential proxies; their starting price is $8.50/GB, while other providers charge $15/GB. 
-
-However, Smartproxy’s dedicated addresses have limited features and location coverage. 
-

-Prices start from:
-
-Read the Smartproxy review for more information and performance tests.
-
-The best premium provider.
-
-
-
-Oxylabs is a premium provider focusing on mid-range and enterprise clients. It has a residential, ISP (rotating and static), datacenter (shared, private, rotating), and mobile proxies. 
-
-The company owns the largest proxy networks worldwide and covers any country you can think of. 
-
-But Oxylabs doesn’t only focus on quantity; performance is its most prominent feature. To illustrate this, most of the provider’s  proxy types ended in the top three positions on our lists. Its residential proxies demonstrated the best overall success rate (99.61%), enviable stability, and fast response time (0.57 s).
-
-And let’s not forget the benefits of having a dedicated account manager to help you with whatever query you have, flexible proxy management tools, and quality documentation. It only shows how the company values its customers.
-
-However, you will need a large budget to reap the most benefits of the services Oxylabs offers. So, if you’re a proxy newbie or looking to use proxies for personal purposes, the provider’s pricing may not be ideal.
-
-Features:

-Prices start from:
-
-Read the Oxylabs review for more information and performance tests.
-
-The best proxy ecosystem.
-
-
-
-Bright Data is one of the largest premium proxy suppliers today. You can get residential, datacenter (shared, rotating, dedicated), ISP, and mobile proxies. 
-
-The provider controls the second-largest proxy network in the world that covers all countries. Its proxy servers are full of features like very versatile targeting and rotation.
-
-When it comes to performance, Bright Data has it all figured out. Expect an almost perfect success rate, excellent response time and stability. 
-
-Bright Data puts its powerful infrastructure to good use, offering a variety of tools: a very extensive API, browser extension, and an open-source proxy manager. The latter allows you to manipulate the IPs to a great extent.
-
-However, if you’re just a beginner, the service may be too powerful and intimidating for you, as it demands technical knowledge. We often point out the high price when we talk about premium providers, and Bright Data is not an exception – the service is expensive.
-
-Features:
-
-Prices start from:
-
-Stable proxies with granular filtering options.
-
-SOAX is a relatively new provider, established in 2019. But it already has much to offer: residential, mobile, and ISP proxies. 
-
-The company owns a medium-sized proxy pool with over 100 countries for residential and mobile proxies. For now, you can get SOAX’s ISP proxies only in the US. 
-
-SOAX’s proxies perform well and demonstrate significant improvements every year. The provider’s residential  network is now thrice faster compared to 2021 and fast enough to compete with market leaders.
-
-But the most distinguishing thing about SOAX is how flexible its proxies are. You can choose from a wide range of rotation settings and target the IPs up to the city and ASN level without paying extra. To give you some context, Bright Data charges double for carrier targeting. Additionally, the provider has one of the better customer services we’ve seen. 
-
-SOAX primarily targets business clients, so don’t expect low prices. Its residential proxies scale pretty well, but we couldn’t say the same about mobile and ISP proxies – they’re pricier than Oxylabs and Bright Data services. Also, there are some technical drawbacks like obligatory IP whitelisting, a limited number of ports, and no pay as you go.
-
-Features:
-
-Prices start from:
-
-Intuitive service with customizable subscription.
-
-
-
-Webshare is a newcomer in the industry, and it has a robust infrastructure of datacenter and ISP proxies. They come in multiple configurations and cover over 30 countries. Recently, Webshare improved its line-up with residential proxies. 
-
-This year, we tested Webshare for the first time and weren’t disappointed. Its shared and ISP proxies were fast and scaled well. 
-
-Webshare stands out with complete self-service and a customizable subscription model. You’re free to choose how many IPs you’d like to get in your preferred locations and then customize various aspects of the service: traffic, concurrency, and network priority. It also offers very flexible refresh options for its proxy networks, ranging from individual replacements to a full refresh of your proxy list as often as every five minutes. The service is easy to use, so you shouldn’t encounter any difficulties even if you’re a beginner.
-
-Webshare can definitely be considered an affordable provider. The cost for basic configuration is below the market’s average.
-
-Our main concern about the service is that Webshare has limited targeting options, so it isn’t ideal for location-sensitive use cases.

-Prices start from:*depends on add-ons.

-Read the Webshare review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Affordable residential proxies with versatile targeting options.
-
-
-
-Infatica sells two proxy types: residential and shared datacenter. 
-
-The provider owns a 10 million residential IP network with locations worldwide and 5 thousand shared datacenter proxies in the US. The residential service has versatile targeting options – you can target locations by country, city, or ASN. There’s no limit on the number of threads you can run, and they inevitably rotate – with every request or between 5 and 60 minutes. 
-
-Although we didn’t test Infatica’s datacenter proxies, its residential IPs were performant. We did experience a slightly higher error rate than other services on the list, but the proxies were fast.
-
-The provider mainly focuses on businesses, offering cheaper residential rates for enterprise plans compared to other premium options. The price for shared addresses may seem steep at first, but once you scale, it drops significantly.
-
-Even though the top competitors already offer pay as you go, Infatica still lacks this model, so your only option is to stick with a subscription. In terms of user experience, things could be improved. For example, the main page fails to show traffic use, and you have to navigate multiple layers deep to find it.

-Prices start from:

-Robust datacenter proxies with non-expiring traffic.

-Rayobyte’s is well known for its private datacenter proxies, but it also sells shared datacenter, residential, and ISP (static, rotating). It’s a strong choice for customers of all sizes.
-
-The provider’s network of private datacenter proxies is impressive – 300,000 IPs throughout nine ASNs, hosted in self-owned data centers. Its peer-to-peer residential addresses cover over 150 countries. And the shared proxies come in three different formats: 1) a list of IPs shared in 11 countries, 2) ports with rotating IPs assigned to each port, and 3) pool-based proxies in the US.
-
-Rayobyte’s strongest suit is its datacenter and ISP proxies. Both types reached an almost perfect success rate in our tests and were fast enough to compete with other premium providers. Residential proxies, on the other hand, were a bit slow.
-
-Rayobyte’s dashboard includes everything needed to work with proxies, and there’s full self-service for datacenter and ISP plans. The latter are relatively inexpensive compared to the alternatives.
-
-You can either pay as you go or subscribe to a residential plan of your choice. While the cost of fewer GBs may seem high, the provider’s pricing becomes more favorable once you scale. For example, Rayobyte’s residential proxies will cost you half the unit price – from $15/GB to $7/GB – once you buy over 50 GBs. And the best part is that the traffic never expires. You can buy 1TB of data for as low as $3/GB and use it whenever you need.
-
-Rayobyte’s main downsides come from the lack of features for residential and pool-based shared addresses. The latter are still in beta.
-
-Features:
-
-Prices start from:
-
-Cheap residential proxies with flexible filtering.
-
-IPRoyal is one of the cheaper residential proxy providers, but it also offers affordable private datacenter, ISP, and mobile addresses. The provider has a very small proxy pool but good location coverage.
-
-The residential product has flexible filtering and rotation options, but the datacenter and ISP proxies have none of these features. The latter two come with unlimited threads, domains, and a free monthly refresh.
-
-IPRoyal has pretty good customer service, extensive documentation, and a browser extension for easier proxy management.
-
-The low price and ability to resell the proxies impact IPRoyal’s performance. Residential proxies had a success rate below 90% and were significantly slower, up to seven times slower compared to Smartproxy. But they should be enough for less demanding tasks.
-
-Features:
-
-Prices start from:
-
-Residential proxies for a wide range of customers.
-
-
-
-NetNut has an eye for businesses with big needs. It offers shared datacenter, residential, ISP, and mobile proxies.
-
-The provider’s proxies come from very large IP pools. The residential proxies cover 150 locations, ISP – 30, and shared IPs come from only the US.
-
-Over the years, we’ve seen a gradual improvement of NetNut’s infrastructure – today, most of its proxies reach a success rate of over 90% (except the datacenter IPs with only 49.30%). But there are some concerns about the speed. Its residential proxies were twice slower than the year before, with an average response time of 2.13 s.
-
-NetNut’s cheapest plans don’t have many features, but at an extra price, you can get dedicated support, IP whitelisting, and request-based pricing. So, large enterprises will find the service fitting. Additionally, you’ll get very detailed usage statistics on the dashboard.
-
-NetNut can definitely be called a premium provider – it has one of the highest prices per GB. And even though the cost is more favorable once you go over 100GB with residential plans, it still can’t compare to alternatives like Smartproxy. And there’s no pay as you go.  
-
-Features:
-
-Prices start from:
-
-Very affordable residential proxies.
-
-
-
-PacketStream has been on the market for several years following its very promising start with the residential proxy service. But over the years, the service remains pretty basic, though very affordable.
-
-The provider has a small pool of 7 million residential IPs. The only thing worth noting is that we found much fewer unique IPs than could be expected from the 7 million IP network. This means you can quickly start getting duplicate proxies. For example, PacketStream brought roughly around 6 thousand proxies in the US. 
-
-On the other hand, PacketStream has quite good infrastructure performance – its residential proxies managed to beat some competition like NetNut or IPRoyal. You’ll get unlimited threads, and the proxies will rotate with every request.
-
-What distinguishes PacketStream is its unbelievably low price on paper. A gigabyte costs as little as $1 with a pay-as-you-go model, making the provider a very strong budget option. But there’s a catch – PacketStream overcounts traffic use by eight to ten times. So, in the end, you’ll pay a similar price to premium providers.
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing:
-
-Starts from $1 for 1 GB. 
-
-Read the PacketStream review for more information and performance tests.
-
-There are many types of proxies and you should pick according to your needs. However, for most purposes, such as sneaker copping or web scraping, we recommend using residential proxies. They are fast, stable and will help you avoid blacklists by keeping you anonymous.
-
-After our extensive testing, we can recommend Oxylabs as the best premium proxy service. The company owns the largest proxy pool to date, demonstrates impressive quality and performance of its IPs, and offers many perks, such as a variety of tools and features and a dedicated account manager
-
-If speed is your top concern we recommend using data center proxies. However, this type of proxy can be easily detected by most secure websites and can get you blacklisted. To avoid this, we suggest using residential proxies.

-Hey! What is the cheapest proxy provider that offers decent quality? I want to try scraping couple of websites, and since I’m not a tech guy, I don’t want to spend a fortune on a thing that might not even work out (the scraping part) .
-
-It depends on the website and how much data you’re going to scrape. If the website doesn’t have sophisticated bot protection, and you need a moderate amount of data, you can try Smartproxy’s datacenter proxies. Alternatively, you can try Storm Proxies.
-
-thanks for the article! smartproxy might offer the best cheap proxies in terms of quality, speed and IP pool size but they are not the cheapest… i still don’t get how packetstream is able to offer $1/GB

-Residential proxies can breathe new life into your bot or web scraping software. That’s because they come from real devices, letting you blend into the crowd much better than datacenter IPs. With a residential proxy server, Mr Robot 123 becomes John from Cincinnati, Maria from Lyon, or Rajesh from Delhi.
-
-If you’re looking to buy residential proxies, you’ve come to the right place. This page will introduce you to a variety of great providers. Don’t worry, we’ve extensively tested each and outlined their main characteristics to make your choice easier. Without further ado, here are the best residential proxies for sale in 2024.
-
-A list of the best overall residential proxy providers.
-
-Providers that cost below $100 and have more favorable prices per GB.
-
-Providers that cost above $100 and focus on features & service.
-
-
-				To learn more, you can read our guide on residential proxies.			
-
-To choose the best residential proxy providers, we made them go through extensive tests. All the companies on the list participated in our annual Proxy Market Research. There, we made over 2 million connection requests for each provider over a period of three weeks. We then evaluated the companies by their pool size, performance, features, and price.
-
-Best value for the price.
-
-Smartproxy offers great value for anyone that needs backconnect residential proxies. It controls a 40 million proxy pool and has wide location coverage – you can target any city or state from 195 countries worldwide. The provider strikes a rare balance of top-notch performance, affordable pricing, and enough features for most tasks. The user experience is also impeccable. There are many guides, proxy control tools, and award-winning customer support. You can start using Smartproxy with minimal interaction, as it emphasizes self-service.
-
-Smartproxy’s only real drawback is limited targeting options (no carrier or ASN targeting).

-Oxylabs controls one of the biggest proxy pools with 100 million monthly IPs. It covers all countries and most cities in the world, and you can even target them by ASN or ZIP code. The proxies have class-leading performance, are stable and highly scalable. You’ll be getting flexible rotation options, easy-to-use dashboard for proxy management, a dedicated account manager and tips to improve your scraping success.

-Bright Data is the largest proxy provider in the market, with a huge pool of rotating residential IPs around the world. The proxies have many features and even allow targeting by ASN and ZIP code. We’ve found their performance to be great when the provider didn’t impose artificial limits. Bright Data includes powerful proxy control tools, especially its open source proxy manager. You can subscribe to a pricing plan or pay as you go.
-
-Like Oxylabs, Bright Data is mostly concerned with business customers. We wouldn’t recommend it for beginners – the service can be complex to use, and the pricing structure is somewhat confusing. There’s also a strict KYC process which rules out some grey hat use cases.

-
-SOAX controls a network of around 5 million residential proxies. It stands somewhere in the middle between cheap and premium providers, similarly to Smartproxy. SOAX’s two distinguishing features are rotation and location targeting. Both are very flexible: you can choose to rotate between IPs with every connection request, specify a custom duration, or keep the same IP  until it becomes unavailable. Targeting-wise, SOAX lets you specify not only country, but also region, city, and ASN without paying extra. 
-
-Some technical choices raise questions: HTTP(S) traffic over SOCKS5, obligatory IP whitelisting, and limited ports for plans. All in all, choose this provider for the flexibility, if you need it.

City and ASN targeting are available on request. There’s no limit on the number of threads you can run, and you’ll get flexible rotation options – with every request, or between 5 and 60 minutes.

-Rayobyte is well known for its datacenter proxies, but the provider also sells performant residential addresses. The service covers over 150 countries, which you can filter up to the city level. The provider uses a pricing system where you buy the amount of traffic you need, and it stays there until you use it. Its plans scale very well once you buy 50 GBs and more. 
-
-However, Rayobyte doesn’t support the SOCKS5 protocol, and proxies are quite slow. Also, it has inflexible rotation settings. The IPs rotate with every connection request and you can keep them for as long as available; there’s no way to select custom intervals.

-With IPRoyal’s service you’ll pay less compared to other providers, and the proxies never expire. The pricing is several times more expensive at fewer GBs, but it scales well, reaching $3.15/GB at one terabyte of data. The service comes with flexible filtering and rotation options, good customer service, and access to the SOCKS5 protocol. The proxies aren’t the best performers, but they’ll work with less demanding tasks.
-
-IPRoyal’s main flaw is the size of its proxy pool. While not exactly tiny, it’s still significantly smaller compared to other providers on this list. What’s more, the low price and ability to resell the proxies further impacts IP reputation. So, it’s definitely not the best option for large-scale use or when you need quality addresses.

-NetNut controls a respectable pool of rotating residential proxies from around the globe. They’re not heavy on features but cover all the essentials well. NetNut works best for medium and large businesses: paying more unlocks features like dedicated support, IP whitelisting, and request-based pricing. You’ll also find very detailed statistics that let you dive deep into your proxy usage patterns. 
-
-It’s worth highlighting that NetNut gives ISP proxies instead of residential when you target America. That said, NetNut isn’t the easiest provider to use, and despite working well, its proxy infrastructure still encounters more errors than the top services.

-
-Webshare is a newcomer in the industry, and its residential proxies are the latest addition to the service. It comes with two proxy pool options: up to 1 or 10 million monthly IPs that you can filter by 195 individual locations. The provider has two killer features – absolute self-service and customizability. You can separately choose the bandwidth limit, or add network priority for a more stable network (the feature prioritizes your over other requests). In terms of rotation frequency, your proxies will be replaced every 5 hours, or you can refresh them between 4 minutes and a month at an additional charge. But paying for different rotation frequency isn’t an industry standard.
-
-Webshare’s pricing falls under the premium segment, so don’t expect cheap addresses. Also, the provider offers limited targeting options, so the service isn’t ideal for location sensitive use cases.

-
-PacketStream has affordable residential proxies. It buys bandwidth directly from people and then resells it to customers. This lets PacketStream offer IPs for as little as $1/GB with pay-as-you-go pricing. The performance has been gradually improving every year.
-
-The service has somewhat fallen behind. It still lacks industry-standard features like city-level targeting or SOCKS5 support. Furthermore, we found the provider’s proxy pool to be small (under 6,000 US IPs), which raises a red flag. And for some reason, the provider overcounted our traffic use by eight to ten times. So while it remains a cheap option for residential IPs, we can’t recommend PacketStream for any serious task.

-Pricing levels of major residential proxy providers (price/GB)
-
-When does it make sense to use residential proxies instead of, say, datacenter IPs? There are three good reasons:  
-
-1. Your target has strong protection mechanisms. Sneaker websites, travel fare aggregators, and other sites that encounter bot traffic use IP reputation as the first line of defence. Residential IPs have a good reputation because they’re registered under consumer internet service providers.
-
-2. You need broad location coverage. Residential IPs come from millions of people around the world. So, they support many locations – much more than a data center could. This makes them a good choice for SEO crawling, ad verification, software localization, and similar tasks.
-
-3. You want to browse truly anonymously. VPNs and datacenter addresses hide you but not the fact you’re using them. Residential proxies make it look like you’re browsing as a real person.
-
-
-				You can read our comparison of datacenter and residential proxies. to learn more.			
-
-Yes. More and more providers are starting to offer residential proxies that come directly from internet service providers and not end users. They’re called ISP proxies.
-
-Yes. Storm Proxies and Shifter are two providers we know of. Residential proxies with unlimited bandwidth usually suffer in performance, but they are useful if you have high traffic requirements.
-
-Some providers allow that, especially if you’re signing up as a company. However, most offer a money-back guarantee instead.

-How long does usually residential proxy last, before the IP changes?
-
-It depends on the proxy provider and the end user. Usually, it’s up to 10 or 30 minutes.
-
-Would you recommend to buy a residential proxy for surveys? They’re more expensive than datacenter proxies, but some reviews say that they are better.
-
-Offerman, residential proxies should be a better choice. They hide the fact that you’re using a proxy much better than datacenter IPs. And I’d guess some survey sites are pretty touchy about this subject.
-
-Let’s say I buy a bunch of proxies from a less known provider. How to tell if proxy is residential based? What can be the main way to spot them from data center based proxies?
-
-You can use any IP checker – look for the “ISP” field. If you can’t recognize the company, Google it and see if it’s a commercial provider or one that sells cloud services. Or you can use an IP database like IP2Location. We write more about testing pro…

-You should try review https://speedproxies.net/ as I tried them for the last few weeks and worked quite good, with the downside being that they don’t support socks5.

-Hi Rhys, thanks for the suggestion. We’ll have a look at them.
-
-That’s a very great and detailed overview! From my personal experience, I see Smartproxy as the best solution when choosing residential proxies, especially for SEO tasks since they have those specific Search Engine proxies (https://smartproxy.com/proxies…
-
-For me Smartproxy have the fastest residential proxies I’ve tried. Pretty impressive work with bots. I’m not a pro in copping sneakers and I’ve only tried the whole procedure for personal usage, but I was satisfied.
-
-Good choose, fast delivery time, average prices. All this words about this service. I am a customer of this service 1.5 years, like it
-
-didn’t expect smartproxy to have the fastest residential proxies since their prices are pretty low. is the speed impacted more by the IP / country or the proxy provider?
-
-It’s impacted by many factors: the IP source’s connection speed and location, as well as the location of the provider’s load balancing server and the target website.
-
-can you use residential proxies anywhere? and i mean anywhere, like China or even North Korea? no intentions to do any business there, i’m just curious to see how ultra restricted internet feels like
-
-China yes (though not all providers can offer that), not sure about North Korea. Others places – sure.
-
-do you know more providers for Residential proxies with unlimited bandwidth???
-
-Hi artaville. There’s also Shifter, RSocks, or Geonode. All three offer unlimited-bandwidth plans. Shifter is pretty expensive but has better quality than RSocks. We haven’t tried Geonode yet.
-
-I do warn you from using ip royal proxies, as it leaks, and the provide ips from data centres claiming it is residential.

-If your web scraping project is struggling with blocks – or you’re tired of managing proxy lists – rotating proxies are just what you need. They automatically fetch new IPs from a large pool of addresses. No blocks, no hassle.
-
-This page will help you choose the best rotating proxy network for your needs. It features a variety of providers for diverse budgets and tasks. We’ve tested each and outlined their main characteristics to make your choice easier. So, you’ll be sure to find something, no matter how large or hard your project is.
-
-The Best Rotating Proxy Providers of 2024 – Quick Summary:
-
-
-				To learn more, you can read our  guide on rotating proxies.
-
-
-We gave particular attention to the following criteria to make sure the provider’s service is fit for scraping the web:
-
-The best balance between features and price.
-
-
-
-Smartproxy is a rare provider that combines worldwide locations (which you can target), reliable proxies, and affordable pricing plans. You can choose from rotating residential, mobile or shared datacenter IPs. Either option gives you access to the full proxy pool with any plan. Smartproxy lets you run unlimited connections, has an API and extensive help docs for major integrations. We’ve awarded it as the best value provider for three years in a row.
-
-Smartproxy’s residential IPs rotate with every connection request, or you can hold sticky sessions up to 30 minutes. During our tests, the proxies showed an almost perfect success rate (99.43%), and they were the fastest (0.57 s). 
-
-On the downside, the traffic-based pricing plans always remind you to mind your expenses.
-
-Pricing:
-
-Residential proxy plans start from $7 for 1 GB. 3-day free trial available.

-The best premium rotating proxy provider.

-
-
-Oxylabs is primarily a residential proxy provider, though it also has rotating datacenter, ISP, and mobile proxy services. Oxylabs caters to businesses, meaning that it assigns dedicated account managers to clients, has extensive know-how about web scraping, and takes care of its IP network (which, as we’ve confirmed, works very well). The provider showed impeccable performance (success rate: 99.61%) and the fastest response time of 0.57 s compared to other providers we’ve tested. 
-
-It also means that Oxylabs might be a little pricey for individuals or those who have small needs.
-
-Pricing:
-
-Residential proxies start from $15 for 1 GB. Business can take a 7-day free trial, others get a 3-day refund.

-Every kind of rotating proxies with many features.
-
-
-
-Bright Data is a market leader with many features and tools. Beside regular residential proxies, you can get ISP proxies, rotating datacenter IPs, and even mobile addresses. The proxies are very performant and highly scalable. Bright Data offers powerful control tools like its open source Proxy Manager. Overall, it’s a fine choice for businesses that want all the bells and whistles they can get. You can pay as you go or fine-tune a pricing plan for your needs – some like it, others find it confusing.
-
-Bright Data has strict proxy usage and KYC policies, so you might need to defend your use case. It’s not the easiest provider to use, and extra features cost a premium.
-
-Pricing:

-Residential proxies start from $8.40 for 1 GB. Businesses get a 7-day trial, others a 3-day refund.

-Very flexible rotating residential & mobile IPs.
-
-
-
-SOAX offers premium residential and mobile proxies. They cover most of the world and form a respectable pool of IPs. What we liked about this provider the most is that you can specify locations up to a city & ASN level; and that you have many rotation settings to choose from: with every connection request, or from  1, 5, 10, and 60 mins (with custom options).
-
-The performance of SOAX proxies is very good, and they cost a bit less than premium providers like Oxylabs or Bright Data. What we didn’t like is that the pricing plans give you limited ports; that you have to whitelist IPs to use them; and that the user experience is still incomplete. 
-
-Pricing:
-
-Residential plans start from $99 for 8GB ($12.38/GB) and 300 ports. 3-day trial available for $1.99.
-
-Reasonably priced residential proxies for business.
-
-Infatica sells rotating residential proxies, which are pretty affordable for its target clients – businesses. The IPs have good location coverage (around 100 locations), and the proxy servers are pretty robust as far as we’ve tried it. Infatica also tries hard to ensure ethical IP sourcing and use. You can get features like city and ASN targeting (available upon request), and rotation between 5 and 60 minutes. 
-
-As a relatively new provider, Infatica has made some eyebrow-raising decisions. The IPs use SOCKS5 but only work with website traffic. But overall, you can get premium proxies for less.
-
-Pricing:
-
-Starts from $96 for 8GB ($12/GB). 7-day free trial available.
-
-Use the code proxyway2024 to get 20% off your first purchase.
-
-Cheap credit-based plans and highly customizable rotation.
-
-
-
-IPRoyal’s residential IP pool has three main strengths: flexible rotation, cheap prices, and credit-based pricing. You can specify (actually enter) any rotation time in the widget up to 24 hours. There are no monthly plans; instead, you buy as much traffic as you need, for $7/GB. The more you buy, the cheaper it gets.
-
-On the downside, IPRoyal’s proxy pool is still small. This translates to fewer IPs in European and other major locations. The performance is okay, but it can’t compare to the premium providers yet. We’d use IPRoyal for small projects or as a secondary provider, keeping an eye for improvements.
-
-Rotating proxies for high-volume scraping.
-
-
-
-NetNut offers datacenter & residential proxies for search intelligence, price comparison, and general web scraping. The provider recently introduced peer-to-peer residential IPs and a wider variety of pricing plans. Still, it primarily targets clients that really need to scrape at scale. To illustrate: the pricing plans have a request-based option, which starts from $7,500.
-
-NetNut isn’t an easy squirrel to tame, owing to an absence of documentation and a lacking dashboard (good for stats, no good for everything else). Another downside is that the smaller plans lack features, such as a dedicated account manager or IP whitelisting.
-
-Pricing:
-
-Residential proxies start from $20 for 1 GB, with an option for a 7-day free trial.
-
-Very customizable subscriptions and complete self-service.
-
-
-
-Pricing:
-
-Residential proxies start from $15 for 1 GB. No free trial for residential IPs
-
-Read the Webshare review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Cheap proxies but no custom rotation.
-
-
-
-PacketStream buys bandwidth directly from people and resells to its customers. This allows the provider to keep low prices. The residential proxies are very basic – you get rotation with every request and sticky sessions for as long as available, over 150 countries that you can target, and customer support via email.
-
-Our tests showed that the actual size of PacketStream’s pool is very small compared to the alternatives, so you’ll most likely get duplicate IPs. Also, there’s no SOCKS5 support, custom rotation, or more targeting options. And even though on paper the provider sells 1GB for as little as $1, its system overcounts traffic use by 8-10 times. 
-
-Pricing: 
-
-Starts from $1 for 1 GB. No free trial.
-
-Many rotating proxy providers charge by traffic. That said, it is possible to find plans with different pricing models. For example, Storm Proxies lets you use as much bandwidth as you need, limiting the number of parallel connections instead. Rotating proxy servers with unlimited traffic generally perform worse because they’re more open for abuse.
-
-We strongly advise against using them. Besides being slow and unreliable, free rotating proxies (if you can find them in the first place) may do all kinds of nasty things to your computer: from injecting ads to stealing your personal information.

-When should you try to use rotating proxies instead of lists? Great content, by the way!
-
-Eman, rotating proxies are great when you need to make a lot of connection requests. So, for example, in web scraping. They simplify things a lot. Also, if you buy residential or mobile IPs, they’ll likely be rotating, whether you want it or not. That’s …

-
-Is it better to use sticky or rotating proxies, if the website is not really protected? I don’t get captchas or blocks.
-
-For web scraping, rotating proxies are better because even weakly protected websites will start rate limiting you if you make too many requests from the same IP.
-
-Maybe you can suggest decent budget-friendly rotating proxies for cracking?
-
-Hi Dominic. Sorry, cracking isn’t really a use case we condone.
-
-Hi, Adam. Thank you for a very informative article. I have one questionnaire. You may know which of the proxy providers you has ipv6 rotating proxy in its pool?
-
-Hi there. Do you mean IPv6 proxies in their pool or separate pools for IPv6? If it’s the former, then all providers have some IPv6 proxies, usually a small ratio compared to IPv4.

-Whether you need more power for search engine optimization software, or you’re building a tool of your own, SEO proxies can help. They’ll let you scrape search engines, audit websites, and get keyword data without interruptions. But Google can be relentless, and it’s not easy to find a reliable SEO proxy service. That’s why we made this list of providers we’ve tried and trusted over the years. Take a look.
-
-The Best SEO Proxies of 2024 – Quick Summary:
-
-
-				Learn more: What Are SEO Proxies? 
-
-There are multiple proxy types you can try. In general, the choice depends on your web scraping experience, budget, target, and traffic needs.
-
-If you’re running site audits or accessing Bing-level search engines, datacenter proxies can be the most cost-efficient option. Dedicated addresses with unlimited traffic cost around $2 apiece. However, you’ll have to deal with a finite list of non-rotating addresses, which complicates proxy management.
-
-For protected websites and search engines like Google, or local SEO, residential proxies will be a better choice. They’re much harder to detect, with more location support. In addition, they’re simpler to manage: you get access to the whole proxy pool (usually hundreds of thousands of IPs), automatic rotation, and unlimited parallel connection requests. But, you’ll be paying for traffic, which can get costly.
-
-If you don’t mind managing proxies by yourself and want something more effective than datacenter IPs, you can try ISP proxies. They inherit the qualities of datacenter proxies but are significantly harder to detect. For this privilege, you’ll be paying several times more per IP address. Getting ISP proxies with traffic-based plans makes less sense, unless you need long sessions with complete control over the IP address.
-
-
-				More about the differences between datacenter and residential proxies.			
-
-Consider the following aspects:
-
-Strong performance & best priced SEO proxies.
-
-Smartproxy is a great choice for a small to medium business looking for rotating SEO proxies. The residential IP pool is fully-featured, performant, and the proxies are one of the fastest in the market. You can target any country, state, or city and hold sticky sessions for 1, 10, and 30-minute thresholds. 
-
-Alongside the proxies, Smartproxy provides a great service: it’s simple to pick up, affordable and has some of the best customer support we’ve seen. You can do most things yourself, and there’s a dashboard to monitor traffic use.
-
-What might make you reconsider is that the rotating plans are traffic based and that Smartproxy limits how much traffic you can send to Google (something like 150 GB/month for the residential IPs). If you want more, you’ll have to get the SERP API that can integrate like a proxy server.
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing: 
-
-Starts from $7 for 1 GB. 3-day free trial available.
-
-Read the Smartproxy review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Flexible targeting and rotation options.
-
-SOAX is another strong option for small businesses. Its pool of rotating residential proxies is large enough to remain clean and cover most locations worldwide. The infrastructure is well-maintained, and the proxies are quite fast. This provider is also one of the few to offer highly customizable targeting and rotation options out of the box. You can specify cities and ASNs, and choose rotation from 90 s to 600 s. 
-
-SOAX’s user experience is pretty well thought out, and it has responsive customer support that works all hours of the day. The usage statistics are pretty basic, but they do the job.
-
-As for the downsides, you won’t be able to use the service without committing to a monthly plan. This makes the starting price steep compared to other providers on this list. And, once again, you’ll need to mind your traffic use.

-Residential proxies for large SEO businesses.
-
-Infatica is better suited for larger SEO use cases. It has a relatively large proxy pool and covers most countries that you can filter up to the ASN level. There’s an option to select several countries at once. According to our tests, Infatica’s proxies are among the quickest in the US  and Europe (in other locations, not that much), and it handled Google well. 
-
-The provider has a steep entry price, but it drops significantly at 1 TB, outscaling some of the cheaper options in the market. Infatica’s dashboard has all the necessities to manage your proxies.
-
-One problem we experienced was that some of Infatica’s IPs were non-residential. So, this might cause issues with Google, such as more CAPTCHA challenges.

-Competent service best for long-term use.
-
-Rayobyte is a mid-range provider with a competent set of features. It has 150 locations, and you can target individual cities. The proxies did relatively well when targeting Google.
-
-Rayobyte is one of a few providers offering non-expiring traffic, and its pricing scales well after 50 GBs. The service is pretty easy to use, and has an arsenal of guides in both text and video formats. 
-
-The main flaw comes down to inflexible IP rotation (you can keep the IP until it goes offline) and slow proxies. In addition, Raybyte has a small proxy pool outside major locations

-Starts from $15 for 1 GB. 2-day free trial with 50 MB.
-
-Read the Rayobyte review for more information and performance tests.

-SEO proxies for high-volume web scraping.
-
-NetNut controls one of the bigger proxy pools and mainly targets large businesses. It covers most countries in the world and you can further specify a city. The entry plans are pretty basic, but once you scale, you can get more features, better rates, and better use of the very detailed traffic statistics.
-
-For now, NetNut isn’t the easiest provider to use. The performance of its residential proxies is okay and has no trouble handling load, but we experienced more connection errors than with other providers. And the average response time could be improved as well.

-Pricing:
-
-Starts from $100 for 5 GBs ($20/GB) . 7-day free trial for companies.
-
-Read the NetNut review for more information and performance tests.
-
-One more option that builds upon proxies but can’t really be considered a proxy server is a SERP API. It lets you enter a few lines of code, after which the API scrapes the target, cleans the data, and returns it to you. This way, you don’t need to worry about managing proxies or dealing with CAPTCHAs. In addition, you get results 100% of the time and only pay for successful requests. This helps to keep costs predictable.
-
-The downsides are that SERP APIs only work for scraping search engines; you can’t just plug one into SEO software like Screaming Frog or Scrapebox; and they might cost more in direct expenses, depending on your setup. So, it really boils down to what you’re targeting and whether you find it cheaper to maintain the infrastructure by yourself.

-
-Try Smartproxy Residential Proxies for free.
-
-Smartproxy often appears among the top choices in our proxy lists. Historically, it was a stripped down version of the premium providers like Oxylabs and Bright Data – similarly performant but missing a feature here and there.
-
-In 2024, Smartproxy is able to stand head-to-head with them, while still managing to compete with cheaper services like IPRoyal. This is no small feat, and one of the main reasons why the company received our Best Value Provider award, three years in a row.
-
-In this review, I’ll try to show what makes Smartproxy one of the best proxy services today – and whether you should choose it over the competition. Let’s go!

-
-Smartproxy was founded in 2018 by “a group of four international entrepreneurs”. It started out in reaction to premium proxy providers like Luminati (now Bright Data) and GeoSurf, which were only accessible to business customers and had cumbersome onboarding procedures. 
-
-The company first resold addresses from others. Nowadays, it has a diverse pool that combines proxies from various sources. According to Smartproxy, they’re carefully vetted, but the provider doesn’t go into much detail about the topic. 
-
-Smartproxy built its business on residential and rotating datacenter proxies. At the time, they managed to fill a gap between premium providers and cheap yet mediocre services like Storm Proxies. The IPs performed well while costing less than the high-end counterparts. It also helped that Smartproxy heavily invested into customer experience: quality documentation, responsive support, and user-friendly interface. 
-
-This, along with some targeted marketing efforts, allowed Smartproxy to quickly sweep up many of the sneakerheads, Instagram managers, and small-time scrapers that were looking for affordable residential addresses. While its website is still heavily oriented towards these audiences, the company has been gradually expanding its reach. 
-
-Today, Smartproxy can be considered one of the largest proxy providers, probably the third after Bright Data and Oxylabs. Rotating proxies remain the backbone of its service, but there are now more products to choose from, including several web scrapers.
-
-Datacenter proxies are Smartproxy’s entry option. They’re made for cost-efficient web scraping when your target doesn’t care about IP reputation or precise location targeting. 
-
-Smartproxy offers three datacenter products: 
-
-The three proxy networks are pretty distinct in terms of features.
-
-Smartproxy’s dedicated proxies – like most dedicated datacenter proxies – give you pretty much unlimited access to the IPs. They’re also the only proxy type to support full SOCKS5 – including the UDP protocol. However, there are two big caveats: the proxies don’t rotate and the only available location is the US, with no option to specify particular cities.
-
-The 100,000-strong rotating proxy network gives you a lot of disposable IPs that you can simplify rotate away. Its choice of locations includes multiple major European countries like Germany and the UK. If necessary, you can keep the same IP for 30 minutes.
-
-Smartproxy’s shared proxies bring even more locations, namely Australia and Israel. They come in a list by default, but you also get an endpoint that automatically rotates the proxies for you. It’s possible to choose where exactly you want the IPs to be located when buying a plan. (For instance, 56 proxies in the US, 32 in Australia, and the remaining 12 in Germany.)
-
-All three options use a subscription-based pricing model that automatically renews every month. The rotating proxies charge for traffic use, dedicated proxies – IPs, while the shared proxies combine both formats.
-
-Smartproxy offers a broad range of pricing plans. Their entry threshold is small, but the plans scale to thousands of IPs and terabytes of traffic. Naturally, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets.
-
-If your rotating plan outgrows its traffic allowance, Smartproxy provides an option to top up without moving on to the next tier. There’s one gotcha: the price for a gigabyte always remains at its most expensive rate of $0.7. All shared plans start with 50 GBs of traffic, but it’s very cheap to get more: a gigabyte literally costs fractions of a cent.
-
-In a broader context, Smartproxy’s prices look good. It charges less than most premium competitors until enterprise levels of scale, no matter which option you consider.
-
-#1: Infrastructure performance (rotating proxies)
-
-We ran 50,000 connection requests using Smartproxy’s US-filtered rotating proxies. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-#2: Download speed
-
-We tested 10 rotating and 10 dedicated IPs using DigitalOcean’s 100 MB NYC benchmark.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-Rotating residential proxies are Smartproxy’s flagship service made for accessing strict websites. It comprises a pool of 55 million monthly IPs borrowed from real people’s devices. To give you some context, this is among the larger proxy networks on the market, at least looking at advertised numbers.
-
-SOCKS5:✅
-
-The service supports granular filtering options: you can get IPs from any country, state, or city. The rotation options include not only every connection request but also 1, 10, and 30 minute thresholds. It’s convenient compared to services like PacketStream, where your only option for sticky sessions is to keep the same IP as long as it remains available.
-
-As is often the case with residential proxies, the service is limited only by your traffic allowance. As long as you have some, you can make as many connection requests as you like. With the addition of SOCKS5 in May 2023, the product became complete, missing only the fringe-most of features like ASN or ZIP-code targeting. Note that the SOCKS5 support is mostly nominal for now: you can’t use the UDP protocol or non-web ports.
-
-Smartproxy’s residential proxies used to have the highest starting price out of the provider’s three proxy networks, but now you can pay as you go. It’s not cheap compared to competitors like PacketStream but beats most premium and mid-range alternatives. So, these residential IPs can be a viable choice for small projects that need quality addresses. 
-
-To avoid getting stuck between pricing tiers, Smartproxy allows topping up each plan at the same rate per gigabyte. This is limited to 80% of the plan’s worth, at which point it makes sense to simply buy a bigger plan. 
-
-The proxies can be a solid option for large projects, as well. Smartproxy scales very competitively into hundreds of gigabytes, and some premium options fail to catch up even at a terabyte of data.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 1M requests over 21 days using the unfiltered pool, 500,000 requests over 14 days using the country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-You can get Smartproxy’s mobile proxies by subscribing to a plan, which starts from $38 ($19/GB). A plan lasts for a month and updates automatically. Or, you can pay as you go at a fixed rate of $20/GB.
-
-Like most similar products, this one charges for traffic, otherwise giving you full access to the proxy network.
-
-Compared to the broader market, Smartproxy’s rates are below the average, and it manages to outprice most premium providers we’ve reviewed (such as Oxylabs and Bright Data). All in all, if you’re looking for a quality service, these proxies present a pretty good deal.
-
-#1: Pool size & composition
-
-We ran 280,000 requests over 14 days using the unfiltered pool and country pools, and 140,000 connection requests over 7 days using the Australian pool. We enriched IP data with the IP2Location database.
-
-#2: Infrastructure performance
-
-This benchmark shared the same parameters as the pool test. Our computer was located in Germany. We targeted a global CDN – it pinged a server nearest to the proxy IP and had a response size of several kilobytes.
-
-#3: Performance with popular targets
-
-We made ~2,600 connection requests to each target using US-filtered proxies and a non-headless Python scraper. Our computer was located in Germany. Note that your results may differ based on your web scraping setup.
-
-The mobile proxies had few issues with challenging websites like Google and the photo-focused social media network. Their success rate was lowest with Walmart – mostly due to issues unrelated to IP quality. All in all, these are good proxies.
-
-Proxy networks aside, Smartproxy offers four web scraping APIs. You can pass them an URL, and the APIs will return its contents without fail. You won’t have to worry about managing proxy networks or overcoming website protection mechanisms. 
-
-Web Scraping API is Smartproxy’s general-purpose scraper – it can extract any page without structuring the output. The other three have parsers for specific website groups, namely search engines, e-commerce stores, and social media networks.
-
-Targets: UniversalStructured data: Google, Amazon, Instagram, TikTok, RedditLocations: All countries (with coordinate-level targeting for Google)JavaScript rendering: ✅
-
-Smartproxy’s scrapers are rich with features.  You can select any country, specify a device type, add custom headers, and pass on cookies with a session ID for multi-step scraping.
-
-The general-purpose API accepts any URL you send it. Smartproxy’s specialized APIs use a parametrized request structure, meaning you can simply enter a search query, ASIN, or hashtag without forming URLs yourself. They also have target-specific parameters like domain language or co-ordinates for localized Google results.
-
-In addition, Smartproxy has built specialized scrapers for various properties of major targets. For example, there’s an endpoint optimized for Google ads, Amazon product pages, or TikTok hashtags.
-
-All three tools integrate as an API or proxy server. The first method works over an open connection, or you can fetch results via webhook with an option to send batch requests.
-
-If there’s anything missing, it’s page interactions and maybe more output formats like .CSV.
-
-We last tested Smartproxy’s APIs in January 2023, for our research on web scraping APIs.
-
-Test #1: Google
-
-We made 10,800 requests to Google SERP pages over a week, one request per minute. This served both to test the API’s stability, as well as its ability to open Google.
-
-Smartproxy’s SERP scraper performed flawlessly with Google: it returned nearly all of our requests, and enabling data parsing had no effect on the response time.
-
-Test #2: Amazon
-
-We made 1,000 requests to Amazon product pages with data parsing enabled.
-
-Amazon posed no challenge as well. The scraper was even faster compared to Google, despite Amazon having much bigger page sizes.
-
-Test #3: Photo-focused social media network
-
-We made 500 requests to the website’s GraphQL endpoint and 500 more requests fully rendering pages with the headless parameter.
-
-The results with social media were also perfect. One weak spot was response time with JavaScript rendering enabled – it slowed down the scraper significantly.
-
-To register with Smartproxy, you’ll need to enter an email and password, select a use case from a provided list, and then verify your email address. Alternatively, you can sign up with your Google account.
-
-Smartproxy does have a KYC procedure, but you only need to interact with someone if you trigger the provider’s safeguards. It’s possible to access the dashboard without verifying an email address, but you won’t be able to buy anything until you do.
-
-Smartproxy’s dashboard includes all the necessary functionality to manage proxies yourself. You can:
-
-Most of the controls are separated by service. There are sections for datacenter, residential proxies, and web scraping tools which lead to individual products. For example, to reach mobile proxies, I’d need to click on the Residential proxies drop-down and select them from the available options.
-
-You can get a quick overview of your services on the dashboard’s main screen: see your current plan, top targets, and traffic use. However, it’s once again dedicated to one product at a time, requiring you to open different tabs for other services.
-
-There are introductory tutorials and guidance all around to help you get acquainted. However, they don’t feel overbearing.
-
-Smartproxy supports full self-service for each product. You can buy a plan in two ways. The first is by making a direct purchase with your credit card, PayPal, or another payment method. Alternatively, you can add money to the Smartproxy wallet first and then use it for purchases. This lets you pay as you go.
-
-Before purchasing a plan, you can use Smartproxy’s Smart Plan Recommendation tool. It requires completing three steps: entering a target, selecting headless or non-headless scraping, and usage frequency. The dashboard then recommends a suitable plan. This tool is available for the residential proxies and scraping APIs.
-
-Smartproxy has a separate Billing section where you can see payment history, download invoices, overview and modify all active plans. It’s also the place to top up your wallet balance.
-
-The proxy setup is pretty straightforward:
-
-Smartproxy also automatically generates code samples in cURL and multiple programming languages. You can copy-paste this into your web scraping script.
-
-Overall, the setup procedure is well thought out. My only gripe is that you can’t set a custom password for a proxy user. The system generates them automatically.
-
-In addition, Smartproxy offers a fleshed-out API for controlling its proxies programmatically. The API is available for every user, not only resellers. Its functions include creating and managing sub-users, setting traffic limits, viewing usage reports and subscription status, and filtering available endpoints. 
-
-If you need proxies on your web browser, Smartproxy provides browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. In the settings, you can choose a country, whether you want the proxies to be sticky or rotate, and authorize them either with a whitelisted IP or user:pass credentials.
-
-Smartproxy’s dashboard includes visual graphs where you can see how much traffic or requests you’ve expended. You can filter the graphs by sub-user or date, and they also display statistics for each target. The timeframes are 24 hours, week, month, or custom.
-
-Alternatively, you can fetch traffic expenditure statistics using an API call.
-
-Smartproxy has got the documentation part down. You’ll find a plethora of instructions covering various aspects of the service:
-
-There’s also a separate hub for technical documentation with tips & tricks, code samples, and troubleshooting. Some of the content has become outdated, but the documentation is handled well in general.
-
-For users of its scraping APIs, Smartproxy has an interactive playground to try out the service.
-
-Smartproxy’s customer service is available round the clock via email or live chat. The main language is English, though the support can also speak Chinese – and, of course, other languages via Google Translate.
-
-Whenever we’ve had to interact with the support agents, we received quick (think nearly instant) and competent responses. In 2020, we even gave Smartproxy an award to acknowledge its customer service. It remains excellent to this day and can be considered one of the provider’s strongest points.
-
-Having read this far, I hope you can see where I was coming from in the introduction.
-
-Smartproxy really has struck something great. The company has responsive customer support, performant proxies, and everything set up for convenient self-service.
-
-To be fair, compared to something like Bright Data or Oxylabs, it’s nothing special. But this is without considering Smartproxy’s final ace – it somehow manages to achieve all this while keeping prices very competitive.
-
-Of course, not everything is perfect. Some corners had to be cut, and you may find services like Smartproxy’s dedicated proxies – or in some cases, its web scraping APIs – limited.
-
-But that’s the whole point of Smartproxy: the company focuses on the functionality that is good enough for the majority of users at the expense of some nice-to-have or niche features. And it is damn good at that.
-
-Based on my experience with Smartproxy, I can recommend it to anyone looking for a great proxy provider.
-
-Oxylabs is like a premium version of Smartproxy. It controls a significantly larger IP pool, and you can get specialized APIs that simplify web scraping.
-
-Read the review
-
-Bright Data is another strong option with more features and powerful proxy management tools. It also sells proxy-based web scraping APIs and complete data sets.
-
-Read the review
-
-SOAX offers similar features and performance to Smartproxy. The proxy pool may be smaller and less diverse, but it comes at a slightly lower price point.

-Thanks for the review guys! Anyhow, I have a question about Smartproxy and their proxies for sneakers – their website says that they work with all major bots, including Yeezy, but what about their IPs? What’s the chance that I’ll constantly get an abused…
-
-Vincent, residential proxies are shared, so there’s always a risk you’ll get an IP that’s been already blocked on your target website. This goes for any provider, not only Smartproxy. In theory you can get unused static residential proxies, but they’re h…
-
-Would the micro plan be enough to let Nike Sneaker not run a large amount of tasks without having a drop in latency ?
-
-James, each residential IP is like a unique server, so the number of sneaker tasks you run with different proxies will have no effect on network latency. Unless, of course, you run so many that your PC/VPS starts lagging! As you can see on this page, w…
-
-I think about getting them for sneakers, but do you know if they work well with bots? For example AIO bot or the shit bot?
-
-Greg, Smartproxy is compatible with sneaker bots. They also have integration instructions for most major bots (https://smartproxy.com/integrations). The Shit Bot isn’t on the list, but there shouldn’t be any compatibility issues with it.
-
-Easy
-
-Hey, the discount only is 20% now. thanks
-
-Thanks for the heads up!
-
-Hello. And Bye.
-
-Please help me to check whether these IP is your company’s proxy IP. If so, I will buy your proxy.I have a lot of agency needs.73.124.158.247,45.50.52.81,72.184.6.215
-
-Sorry zhang, we don’t have the ability to check that. You can try asking Smartproxy directly.
-
-Hi Do you have UK proxy that support Iphone and can connect to website like Stripe? Thank you!
-
-Hi Ly. According to its FAQ, Smartproxy might block Stripe. It’s best if you contact them and ask directly.
-
-Hi, i keep getting deactivated whenever i try to verify my account.
-
-Hi Jeff. You should contact the provider’s customer support. They should be able to help you solve the issue.
-
-I recently had an experience with Smartproxy that I feel compelled to share. Despite my efforts to resolve an issue related to my last purchase, I was met with repeated diagnoses based on the same data without consideration for my side of the story. I want to make it clear: I have not misused the product in question since my purchase. Yet, the focus remained solely on their diagnostic tools, disregarding the possibility of flaws within their system.
-
-I have decided not to pursue this matter further with Smartproxy. It’s disheartening to invest time in seeking a resolution only to be met with a lack of willingness to listen or adapt their responses. Therefore, I’ve chosen to cease using their services and have started engaging with another company. This decision comes after realizing there are unresolved billing issues, which, in my view, Smartproxy is not prepared to acknowledge.
-
-I am sharing this review not out of spite but to inform others of my experience. It’s crucial for customers to be heard and for companies to be open to feedback, especially when it concerns potential flaws in their system. I will also be taking legal steps to ensure my rights are protected and plan to share my experience across various review platforms to provide a comprehensive account of my dissatisfaction with Smartproxy.
-
-To anyone considering Smartproxy, I advise you to proceed with caution and ensure that your expectations align with the service and support they are prepared to offer.

-The sneaker copping scene is ridden with both newbies and veterans trying to pinpoint the best sneaker bots on the market. It’s not an easy feat. Several years ago, you had the option to choose from a handful of bots and you’d know fast enough if they stink at copping limited edition sneakers.
-
-Today, you can choose from hundreds – and I really mean hundreds – of bots. I bet you can hardly name more than 10, right? Fine, maybe more than 20 if you’ve got a good memory. So, how do you pick the best sneaker bot? Let me tell you something: browsing Reddit isn’t going to cut it anymore.
-
-After long, caffeine-induced brainstorming sessions, followed by even longer hours of coding, we came up with something awesome – a sneaker bot success tracker. Using Twitter’s API, it collects the successful checkout mentions. We paired the data with our own research on the market and came up with a list of best sneaker bots that can actually score you Ws!
-
-Many bots don’t support macOS. There are multiple workarounds you can use: Bootcamp, virtual OS, or a remote server. But if you’d like to run a bot natively, feel free to visit our list of the best sneaker bots for Mac.
-
-Before we take a deep dive into the list of best release destroyers out there, I want to make sure you know what we’re talking about.
-
-A sneaker bot is software that can automatically complete checkout faster than any human ever will. When you buy and install a bot, you’ll be able to create tasks commanding it to cop from sneaker sites, add billing and shipping profiles, power it with proxies, and then haul dozens of pairs home.
-
-
-				If you want to learn more, we have a guide on  sneaker bots.			
-
-Let’s get one thing straight: there’s no such thing as one best bot.
-
-Why? The botting scene is highly unpredictable. One missed update or simply lack of luck can render a previously successful bot useless. Honestly, there’s a brand new top-performing bot with every release.
-
-What we are looking for is consistency. Sure, a bot can have some bad days. Don’t we all? But a bot that is worthy of your time will score you more or less Ws with every release. According to the most recent data of our success tracker, Wrath has been killing it for quite some time – it’s not a coincidence why it’s at the top of our list.
-
-Now, let’s continue with the strongest sneaker bot lineup you’d wish to get your hands on:
-
-
-				The only bot you’ll need. 			
-
-Experienced sneakerheads know that it’s best not to count on a single AIO bot. Instead, you should use different bots for each store, according to how well they perform on it. But we aren’t millionaires, right? Well, not yet. So, if you can only afford only one top-tier bot, I’d suggest you get Wrath. It’s possibly the only sneaker bot you’ll need. Why? Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.
-
-Wrath is a beast when it comes to destroying releases. It’s simply a great sneaker bot. Even though it had some downfalls since it was introduced in February 2018, its efficient developer managed to recover and deliver consistent performance with high success rates.
-
-Wrath beats the anti-bot security measures with frequent, fast, and spot-on updates for every module. If you own this bot, expect to score Ws from all supported sites. Aside from being one of the best Yeezy bots, it also cooks Shopify, Supreme, and US Footsites.
-
-The best thing about Wrath is that it has an intuitive and easy-to-manage UI. You’ll be able to set it up for drops within 5 minutes or less. It also features personal analytics to help you learn from your mistakes and brag about wins.
-
-
-				Best for Shopify.			
-
-If you don’t know why I like Prism, it could be because you haven’t read my review yet. Fine, you don’t have to read it now – I’ll do a quick recap instead.
-
-Prism cooks, and it does it exceptionally well. It has already made over 1 million purchases, averaging 300 sales per user, according to its stats. Yes, you should be impressed. Prism works like a charm on Shopify (in fact, it’s one of the best Shopify bots), but it also does well on other targets – Footsites and Supreme. However, not every Footsite is supported. Hopefully, they will include all of them – and other stores – in the future!
-
-What it lacks in stores, Prism makes up with incredible features and a great design. Seriously, the user interface of its dashboard is top-notch and very beginner-friendly. When it comes to features, Prism will impress you with a one-of-a-kind release calendar and clever task grouping.
-
-
-				Best for Footsites.			
-
-You might think the nickname Untamable cooking machine is just a clever marketing slogan, but it’s not. Kodai cooks with pretty much every release. All you need to do is to get your hands on it. But like with any other good bot, it won’t be easy, so be prepared for an expensive challenge.
-
-Is it worth it? If you’re serious about cooking Shopify, Supreme, Footsites, Yeezy Supply, and Adidas, then my answer is yes. Especially if you have your eye on Footsites – Kodai works best with this target. However, you might want to think twice if you’re new at the scene. Recouping your investment is going to be a tricky feat.
-
-Other than that, Kodai is known for its excellent user interface that won’t make you scratch your head when setting it up. Oh, are you expecting to get something extra when paying a considerable sum for a bot? How does a complimentary dashboard sound like? The dashboard is called Kodai Hub, and it includes a release calendar alongside suggested copping settings, retail and resale prices for specified drops. It also offers a personal analytics page for data-minded users.
-
-
-				Best for Supreme.			
-
-Are you desperate to get your hands on anything Supreme? Don’t worry, MEKpreme’s got you. It’s truly one of the best Supreme bots for cooking the famous red box logo brand. It has even four different modes to cop, and if you keep your eye on the bot’s discord channel, you’ll receive advice on when to use them.
-
-MEKpreme bot tackles anti-botting measures on the go. Seriously, it can detect what measures are being taken and bypass them by automatically adjusting its bypass method. Oh, and if you’re worried about CAPTCHAs, don’t be. MEKpreme has it all taken care of with an implemented 3rd party tool – AYCD AutoSolve – to solve them for you.
-
-While you’re at it, you might also want to look up equally as powerful MEKpreme’s sibling MEK AIO. MEKRobotics created these two bots to slay releases. While MEKpreme only tackles Supreme drops, MEK AIO is on top of the Shopify, Footsite, Yeezy supply, and Adidas game.
-
-
-				One of the most consistent.			
-
-Ahh, Balkobot. There’s a lot I’ve already said about it in my review, but one thing stands out the most – its consistency. You probably already know – even the best bots fail. Some never recover. But Balkobot seems to be going with the steady flow. The bot has consistently won releases for its user base with no major losses, and what’s not to love about it?
-
-Balkobot comes with a minimalistic yet rather tough-to-navigate user interface. It may take some time to get a hold of, especially for beginners. What’s great about it is that you get a lot of features to support your cop, such as CAPTCHA solver, analytics, and many more.
-
-Ever since it was first introduced, Balko has been a beast when it comes to destroying releases on Shopify. Today it also cooks on Adidas, Supreme, Footsites, and Off-White, making it truly an AIO bot.
-
-
-				Best for EU stores.			
-
-You’ve certainly heard of Ganesh before, right? It’s the bot that sets the gold standard in sneaker botting. Some may argue, but this bot is one of the best available sneaker bots, especially for EU stores. It has a good track record of success – over 650,000 checkouts and a really small user base.
-
-Ganesh has an easy-to-use and sophisticated interface. It helps to set up tasks quickly and smoothly. But that’s only relevant if you decide to use a graphical interface at all. If you love coding, the bot comes with a command-line interface, too.
-
-When it comes to stores, Ganesh supports a lot of them: Finish Line, Hibbett, Slamjam, Snipes, Titolo, Zalando, AW LAB, Solebox, Footsites, Mesh, and others. So plenty of options to choose from.
-
-Apart from great performance and many stores to cop from, Ganesh provides you with an excellent documentation page that will help to get started with ease. If reading it still leaves you hanging, you can get help from the support that’s readily available 24/7.
-
-
-				Best for beginners and always available.			
-
-NSB needs no introduction – it’s one of the oldest bots on the market, and I’m sure someone has recommended it to you before. With so many new names slaying releases these days, you may wonder if NSB is even worth your time. Well, let me tell you something: NikeShoeBot is still on the top of its game.
-
-Sure, it had some ups and downs, but if you’re a beginner who’s looking for an easily attainable bot that can cook, NSB is a way to go. You are probably already used to the fact that bots are tough to get unless you have thousands of dollars just lying in your pocket. Well, NSB is an exception – the bot is always in stock.
-
-NSB has a knack for copping Shopify and does so with a handful of clever tricks. However, it also does a great job with other targets it supports, such as Footsites, Demandware, and Supreme.
-
-
-				Best for SNKRS.			
-
-Copping Nike sneakers has become a headache for everyone. I don’t judge those who give up without even trying. But I know that’s because they’ve never heard of an excellent Nike bot – Project Enigma. But there’s a reason for that. Project Enigma is truly an… enigma. You can only find it on Twitter, but the account is protected from outsiders’ eyes. All its other traces lead to bot rentals, so don’t expect to find a website. It’s like the bot doesn’t want to be found.
-
-No matter how low-key Project Enigma is trying to seem, people can’t stop boasting about its success. To be fair, any kind of success in Nike’s store is worth bragging about, but Project Enigma doesn’t just cop you a pair. The bot delivers some excellent success rates we can only envy. It’s truly one of the best Nike SNKRS bots you can find on the market.
-
-Getting your hands on Project Enigma is a challenge of its own. The bot is currently unavailable to buy or even resell, but you may come across it on various bot renting sites, so what are you waiting for? It’s going to be worth it, I promise.
-
-If I could I would keep adding to this list, because there’s plenty of other bots capable of copping limited releases. Here’s a few worthy mentions:
-
-In the sneaker botting game, the dead can come back to life. I’m talking about bots here. Often enough some great bots just stop working and their users are left to count their losses. But then, a few releases later they’re back on track slaying better than ever.
-
-Before they come back to their tracks, I’d suggest to stay clear from these bots:
-
-Sneaker stores don’t like bots. Actually, they despise them. That’s why, every time they detect botting activity, they promptly block IP addresses associated with that activity. But you still need to get those limited edition kicks somehow, right? That’s where proxies come in. Essentially, a proxy is just an IP address that can be used to hide your own. Get hundreds of those and you’ll be able to perform hundreds of checkouts and they’ll all look like different buyers to the store.
-
-That’s why proxies are crucial to sneaker release copping. In fact, if you don’t use them you can throw any bot you have – even Wrath – through the window. But I know how hard it is for newbies to understand proxies and figure out where to buy them. So, here are three great options for you to choose from.
-
-Picking out the best sneaker bot in 2024 is a tough challenge. There are hundreds of them on the market, and it takes a lot of research to figure out which one actually works. That’s why we did the hard work for you. This list should help you figure out which release destroyers are worth your investment and which ones will only destroy your wallet
-
-But hold on a minute, choosing one of the best sneaker bots is just one part of the process. If you’re new to the game, there’s still a lot to learn. So, don’t forget to read our other articles.
-
-Here are the ones I’d recommend starting with:
-
-There are several things to keep in mind when picking out the best bot. First, there’s an aftermarket price. Great bots that have a proven track record of success will gain a surge in value. Then there are reviews and successful checkout mentions. Sneakerheads are keen on bragging about their wins on social media and it helps to determine which bots are working well.
-
-It’s true that not all bots perform well, but if you get your hands on a great sneaker bot then it will drastically increase your chances of copping. Some of the best sneaker bots out there manage to get thousands of checkouts during each limited edition drop. However, the most efficient bots are extremely expensive and not worth the money if you’re looking to cop just one pair.
-
-Sneaker bots can be bought from a retailer. Check their websites and social media frequently to see when restocks are happening. However, the chances of getting one are very slim. After all, there are thousands of others waiting to get their hands on them.
-
-Your other option is to check Twitter and Discord for resellers, but be careful! The resell market is ridden with scammers, that’s why you should always use a middleman. Currently, Tidal Market offers one of the best middleman services. Some of the most popular bots are available on BotBroker and if you’re looking to rent check out Whop marketplace and Easy Rentals.

-Yeezys, Air Jordan’s, Adidas – all well-known brands, and all well known for their limited edition sneakers. These are no regular sneakers you just go to a shop and buy. If you do go to a shop, you’ll stand in lines lasting for hours to get your hands on a pair, if there will be any left. So what then, you just go online and order a bunch?
-
-Nope. Not gonna work that way. Most people and companies buy shoes in bulk with proxies and sneaker bots. The competition against bots is tough, especially for those who want to start a business and cop sneakers.
-
-So what should you do? Fight fire with fire, of course! By using sneaker proxies and bots yourself, you’ll be on top of the sneaker game, as well. Here are the sneaker proxy providers that will help you win.
-
-The Best Proxies for Sneaker Bots – Quick Summary:
-
-Sneaker proxies are middlemen IP addresses optimized specifically for buying sneakers from the most popular online shoe stores. They’re used with sneaker bots to cop limited releases before they become unavailable.
-
-No matter which brand you’re targeting, if you want to buy the best sneaker proxies for your bot, look for the following:
-
-In the past, datacenter proxies were the main choice for sneakers: they’re cheap and very fast. But they also come from commercial hosting companies and can’t hide this very well. Many of the shoe sites have implemented strict security measures. They quickly spot a datacenter IP and ban it, sometimes taking down a whole subnet. Nowadays they’re more often used as CAPTCHA proxies, to collect tokens.
-
-Residential proxies use the connections of real people. Shoe stores don’t want to ban potential customers, so they’re much more reluctant to stop your bot.
-
-Of course, not everything depends on the best sneaker proxies – sneaker bots often have even more impact. (Try asking SNKRS botters about it.) But proxies still make a big difference.
-
-ISP proxies, or static residential proxies, are actually a great choice for sneakers. They’re like datacenter proxies, only registered with consumer internet service providers. So, they’re fast, hard to block, and don’t need to rotate – a win for copping. Should you move on to them and forget the other proxy types?
-
-Not exactly. ISPs have a few issues: they’re hard to get, expensive, and you can’t generate unlimited IPs like you can with residential proxies. Both types work, and their effectiveness varies by release. Considering this, it’s a good idea to mix both types. Or at least try out each and see what works for you.
-
-
-				To learn more, you can read this comparison of residential and ISP proxies.			
-
-Really, don’t. Good luck finding free sneaker proxies that haven’t been banned on shoe sites already. If you do, they’ll be too slow and unreliable for copping, anyway. Buying shoes is hard enough as it is – proxies should help with the process, not hinder it.
-
-Best residential proxies for sneaker bots.
-
-Smartproxy is a popular choice among sneakerheads. It offers very fast and performant residential proxies that cover the main store locations. You can also get its newest product – ISP proxies.
-
-Each residential plan gives you access to 40M IPs for a month, so there’s no waiting around for restocks or having your proxies expire after one release. The ISP proxies come with over 16,000 addresses in the US.
-
-Both types rotate. The residential addresses can hold sticky sessions for up to 30 minutes, while ISP – indefinitely. You can easily start using the service, and there are plenty of tutorials to help you out. 
-
-Smartproxy allows paying as you go or committing to a monthly plan with its residential service. Both options cost less than what most sneaker proxy shops can offer you. 
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing starts from:
-
-Read the Smartproxy review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Best premium proxies for buying in bulk.
-
-Oxylabs is the provider to consider if you’re copping large scale or reselling. It offers 100M premium residential IPs around the world. You can target them by city and create sticky sessions for up 30 minutes for long queues. 
-
-The ISP service has 100,000 static addresses in the US and Western Europe that come in the form of a list. You can also go for a pool of rotating proxies that can hold sticky sessions for up to 5 hours. 
-
-All proxy services are among the best performers we’ve tried: fast, stable, and with a great success rate. Additionally, you’ll get 24/7 customer support, a dedicated account manager, and many tutorials to help you out. 
-
-As a premium proxy provider, Oxylabs doesn’t have the cheapest rates. It offers pay as you go residential IPs, and subscriptions for both proxy types. The starting price is steep, but many serious sneakerheads consider Oxylabs a top choice for any release.
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing starts from:
-
-Read the Oxylabs review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Quality residential & ISP proxies for serious cooks.
-
-It’s almost impossible to exclude Bright Data when making these lists. It’s a leading provider with proxies for every (legal) use case – sneakers included. 
-
-Bright Data controls a 72 million residential proxy pool with locations worldwide and 700,000 ISP proxies in more than 50 locations. You can target any country and city or even by ASN and ZIP code (the latter applies only to the residential service). As with Oxylabs, two ISP proxy formats are available: a list of static addresses and a pool of rotating proxies.
-
-The services have many features, impeccable performance, and amazing proxy management tools. A neat bonus: credit-based pricing, a dedicated account manager, and pay as you go with both proxy options. 
-
-That said, Bright Data has several issues, which is why we didn’t place it first. First, the service is complex to use, requiring extra software to set up things like proxy rotation. Second, it’s mighty expensive. And third, the usage terms are pretty strict. But if you know what you’re doing, Bright Data will prove to be a powerful choice.

-Pricing starts from:
-
-Read the Bright Data review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Sneaker proxies with flexible rotation options.
-
-SOAX is a good choice for cooks that need long sessions during drops. 
-
-The provider has a network of around 5 million residential and 100,000 ISP proxies that you can filter up to the ASN level. The residential proxies come from over 150 locations, so you won’t struggle to find store locations. The ISP proxies will work only with US-based marketplaces. 
-
-Both types are flexible: you can rotate them with every request, keep the IP until it’s unavailable, or choose a custom duration.
-
-SOAX’s infrastructure works well – you’ll get a good success rate and a fast response time. The provider will also make sure to answer your questions in under 2 minutes and includes great documentation for an easy start. 
-
-The main downside – you’ll have to commit to a monthly plan since SOAX doesn’t support pay as you go, and all the plans come with a limited number of ports.
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing starts from:
-
-$99 for 15 GB ($6.6/GB) and 300 ports. 
-
-Read the SOAX review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Fast ISP proxies with absolute self-service.
-
-Webshare is the best choice if you want to fully control your subscription, and need fast and performant static addresses. 
-
-Webshare gives you residential proxies from a pool of 30 million addresses. You can target any sneaker store from 195 locations. 
-
-If you’re looking for static addresses, the provider has a network of 100,000 proxies in 5 locations. You can choose between shared, dedicated, and semi-dedicated ISP addresses. They come in lists, but if you need, you can rotate them with every connection request. 
-
-Whichever type you choose, you’ll be able to customize your plan to a great extent: choose traffic limits, number of threads and network priority. Additionally, with ISP proxies you can replace (or refresh) your IPs on demand. 
-
-That said, all that versatility won’t come cheap. 
-
-Features:
-
-Pricing starts from:
-
-Read the Webshare review for more information and performance tests.
-
-Performant ISP proxies with non-expiring traffic.
-
-Rayobyte is a good choice if you’re in the shoe coping business for the long run. Here’s why. 
-
-The provider offers residential proxies that cover around 150 countries. You’ll find all the main shoe store locations, and you can target any country or city. You can also get shared ISP addresses in the US and dedicated in four countries. These proxies come from major consumer ISPs and are spread throughout multiple ASNs.
-
-The best part about the residential service is that your traffic will never expire. For example, you can buy 100GB of data to pay less per GB and then use the traffic whenever you want. Rayobyte’s plans scale very well once you get 50 GBs and more. But the proxies are pretty slow.
-
-The ISP proxies, on the other hand, are one of the better in the market – they’re fast and stable. 
-
-However, Rayobyte has inflexible rotation settings. The IPs either rotate with every connection request or you can keep them as long as they are available.

-NetNut owns a 1 million ISP proxy pool and residential proxy network with around 52 million monthly IPs. Both services have adequate targeting – up to the city level. You can rotate between IPs or create sticky sessions. 
-
-The provider targets medium and large businesses, so once you opt for higher-paid plans, you’ll get dedicated support, IP whitelisting, and request-based pricing. Additionally, it offers detailed proxy usage statistics, but we have to warn you – it isn’t the easiest provider to use. 
-
-NetNut’s ISP proxies are great performers. However, with residential service we’ve experienced slow connection and more errors compared to other companies. This provider is best for experienced users or those who need sneaker proxies at scale. Otherwise, small time cooks looking for ISP proxies might be better off with Chi Proxies, which NetNut owns.

-Affordable residential proxies for larger sneaker drops.

-Infatica is another business-oriented provider if you need to buy proxies in bulk. The service comes with a network of 10 million residential IPs and over 190 locations. The proxies rotate with every request, but you can hold sticky sessions from 5 to 60 minutes.
-
-Compared to premium alternatives, Infatica offers lower prices. It especially scales well at 50 GBs and up. Similar to other top options, you’ll get great customer service and pretty good documentation.
-
-Overall, Infatica’s residential proxies performed well, and they’re fast. Still, there’s room for improvement – compared to the best-performing provider Oxylabs, Infatica’s success rate was 5% lower. The user experience could also be improved – finding how much traffic you used will take time. And there’s no pay as you go.

-Features:
-
-Pricing starts from $96 for 8 GB ($12/GB).

-IPRoyal draws small-time sneakerheads with cheaper pricing. The provider has good customer service and extensive documentation.
-
-IPRoyal controls a 8 million residential proxy pool with 150 locations worldwide and city level targeting. The proxies rotate with every request, but you can hold sticky sessions for up to 24 hours.
-
-You can also get ISP proxies from 25 countries in four continents. They don’t rotate, which can be a big plus for long drops. 
-
-Additionally, IPRoyal sells dedicated datacenter sneaker proxies with a private IP pool. But datacenter proxies are a questionable choice for sneaker coping. 
-
-However, we encountered more errors compared to other providers and a slow connection speed. But both services are fitting if you don’t need to buy sneakers in bulk.

-PacketStream is famous for its bargain residential proxies with credit-based pricing. You can get IPs for as little as $1 for a GB of traffic (as long as you buy at least 50 GB). 
-
-The provider controls a 7 million residential proxy pool and covers many locations. You can choose rotation on every connection request or to keep the same IP until the source goes offline.
-
-However, selling proxies for such a low cost has its… well, cost. We’ve found the PacketStream IP pool to be very small, despite its claim of 7 million addresses. For example, the US pool had under 6,000 available IPs, so you’re more likely to get abused addresses. There’s another gotcha: PacketStream’s system overcounts traffic used by eight to ten times. Essentially, instead of costing $1, you end up paying $8 or more.

-The term “sneaker proxies” is broad, and people look for specific releases to cop. You’ll often run into terms like Nike proxies (or SNKRS proxies), Supreme proxies, Yeezy proxies, Footsites proxies, Adidas proxies, Bape proxies, and so on.
-
-Are there any differences between them? Kind of. Here’s what we know from our experience:
-
-Nike punishes botting hard. So, the best proxies for Nike SNKRS will be residential and ideally unabused. In this case, the most important thing is a good sneaker bot.

-
-Supreme is all about speed. It was one of the last stores to work with datacenter IPs. As of 2024, it no longer does. Go for ISP proxies or the fastest residentials you can get.

-
-Yeezys/Adidas are generally well-protected and put you into a queue. So, you should get residential IPs with sticky sessions (the longer the better) or ISP proxies. IPs that rotate every request won’t work.
-
-
-				Check out the best Yeezy proxies.			
-
-Footsites like Footlocker, EastBay, Champs, and FootAction use a queue system as well. The drops take time, and speed isn’t very important. So, residential IPs with long sticky sessions or ISP proxies are a perfect choice.

-
-Some providers still advertise datacenter proxies as working for Shopify. But since it implemented new anti-botting measures, it’s no longer the case. Truth be told, other kinds of proxies are having a hard time, as well. Still, ISP proxies are preferred for speed, then residentials.
-
-These proxies are used to generate CAPTCHA tokens by watching YouTube videos with different Gmail accounts. This helps to avoid solving image CAPTCHAs during sneaker releases. CAPTCHA proxies are nearly always datacenter IPs that work with Google and YouTube.

-They do. Sneaker proxies help many sneakerheads buy limited edition shoes for retail price each week. Twitter is full of success cases, proving their effectiveness.
-
-For a few pairs, proxies aren’t obligatory. Still, they help a lot. Almost all serious sneaker resellers use proxies.
-
-Sneaker proxies aren’t illegal, even if sneaker stores hate them. We haven’t heard about anyone getting used for using proxies to bot shoes.
-
-It depends on how many pairs you want to get. The rule of thumb is one proxy per one task.
-
-There’s no definite answer. Different bots are good for different tasks, and this often changes after new releases. Botting is a cat-and-mouse game where shoe sites constantly complete with bot creators. You can read our article named the best sneaker bots, which lists some great options that have had consistent success throughout the year.

-why do you need proxies for bots ? i have a vpn which also has server pool, so in theory vpn can also work with bots. and vpns are faster than proxies.
-
-Hi Chris. VPNs use datacenter connections, so sneaker sites will very quickly block them – if they allow you in, at all. And VPNs aren’t faster than proxies. They use the same servers but have to further encrypt traffic.
