Residential proxies are proxy servers that use IP addresses provided by internet service providers (ISPs) and/or are located on real (residential) devices, such as laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, and so on. They allow users to hide their real IP address and change their geolocation.

Resident proxies have many advantages and areas of application, such as:

• Ensuring user anonymity online and protecting them from tracking.
• Bypass geographic restrictions and access blocked resources and content.
• Improving web scraping and anonymous collection of publicly available data from open sources.
• Manage multiple social media accounts or bots without arousing suspicion or risking de-anonymization.
• Launching various advertising campaigns.

Unlike server proxies, residential proxies are considered more reliable and more secure against tracking. The residential proxy market has a large number of IP addresses available in thousands of locations around the globe, which makes it impossible to block them. Another advantage of residential proxies is that they can have multiple IP addresses at once, allowing you to automatically deploy hundreds of connections from a single location.

Using static proxies is quite simple and can be reduced to the following steps:

1. Choosing a Proxy Plan: Start by choosing a static proxy plan that suits your needs.
2. Getting access: After registering on the platform and paying for the selected plan, you gain access to static proxies. You are provided with IP addresses and ports to use according to your needs.
3. Configuring your software: Once you have access to static proxies, it’s time to integrate them into your applications or devices you plan to use with the proxy. In most software interfaces, you only need to specify the proxy server’s IP address and port.
4. Testing a successful connection: Check whether your traffic is passing through static proxies. To do this, run several queries and ensure that the IP address substitution is working correctly.
5. Monitoring proxy stability: After initial proxy setup, remember to monitor its operation periodically. Make sure the proxy is stable and doesn’t require any additional setup.

If you’ve followed all these steps, your first time using a static proxy will be painless, and you can safely use it to achieve your goals.

The Proxyma platform has its own referral program. To learn more about it, simply go to the “Referral Program” section after logging in or registering on the platform (you can log in using your username and password, or your Google account). The “Referral Program” section contains the most important information for you, such as:

• Referral link (send it to your friend or acquaintance to start receiving bonuses)
• Total counter of your earnings from the referral program
• Counter showing the number of referrals who used your link
• Ranking of your referrals by the profit they brought you

To start receiving bonuses from the referral program, follow these steps:

1. Register or log in to the platform.
2. Go to the “Referral Program” section.
3. Copy your personal referral link and share it with your friends, acquaintances, or colleagues (Please note: Bonuses will only be credited for new users who register using your link).
4. Wait until your referral registers and makes their first purchase.
5. Receive bonuses for every purchase made by your referrals.

If you have followed all these steps, you will not encounter any problems with receiving bonuses under the referral program.

By purchasing a plan, you gain access to over 15 million IP addresses collected legally and ethically from all over the world. It’s important to note that the availability of IP addresses at any given time is affected by factors such as time of day and proxy list settings.

This type of rotation is only available for static residential proxies. For dynamic proxies, the Proxyma platform offers the ability to select a rotation period based on the following conditions: no rotation (sticky session), per request, or time-based (every 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes). Due to the nature of residential proxy technology, this approach is a much more stable, faster, and easier way to change an IP address than manually changing it.

If your IP address changes frequently when connected to a proxy, you’ve purchased a “Dynamic Residential Proxies” plan. If your needs require a permanent (static) IP address, we recommend upgrading to a “Static Residential Proxies” plan.

Proxyma is a platform that provides residential proxies for various purposes, such as traffic arbitrage, digital marketing, data collection, and more. Residential proxies are IP addresses that actually belong to real people, namely their devices that have internet access.

The proxies provided by our service are completely anonymous. They replace your real IP address and do not reveal the fact that you are using a proxy. Proxyma operates strictly within the terms of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy and does not share your information with third parties. This ensures that your online anonymity is protected.

However, it’s worth keeping in mind that your anonymity also depends on how you use the proxy. For example, if you log in to a website using your personal account or provide your personal information, this could reveal your identity. Therefore, exercise caution when using a proxy connection for your own purposes.

When creating a list of dynamic residential proxies, two authorization options are available for users: by login and password or by a list of IP addresses specified in the corresponding field when creating the proxy list. When selecting the “IP list” authorization method, simply connect to the proxy using the previously specified list of IP addresses. However, users can also use the proxy using a login and password from devices with different IP addresses.

Important condition!

Each IP address added to the whitelist can only be specified once. To reuse this IP address when creating a proxy list, you must delete the previously created proxy list in which this IP address was added to the whitelist.

Proxies can be purchased for individual use or in a package for multiple users. Individual (dedicated) proxies are provided to only one user, which guarantees exclusive use and increased security. This is especially important for tasks that require high levels of confidentiality and connection stability.

If you are interested in purchasing proxies for individual use, you can select the appropriate package on the website and purchase proxies that will be available only to you.

What distinguishes your proxy rental service from other similar services?

The Proxyma.io service has several key differences from other similar proxy rental services:

1. High-quality proxies: Proxyma.io offers residential and ISP proxies that provide a high level of anonymity and stability. This allows users to avoid blocks and captchas on various platforms, which can be especially important for tasks related to web scraping, automation, and bypassing geographic restrictions.
2. Wide selection of countries and IP addresses: The service provides proxies from a variety of countries, allowing users to choose IP addresses that meet their requirements, whether for testing content or accessing region-locked services.
3. Support for various authentication types: Proxyma.io offers flexibility in choosing an authentication method, including both IP address authentication and login and password authentication. This simplifies the configuration and use of proxies in various scenarios.
4. Ease of use and speed of delivery: Proxies are available almost immediately after payment, allowing users to get started quickly without long delays.

Technical support and flexibility: Proxyma.io offers high-quality support and an individual approach to each user, allowing for quick resolution of any issues or problems that may arise.

Proxies on Proxyma.io offer a high level of anonymity, especially residential and ISP proxies. These proxies mask your real IP address by replacing it with an IP address provided by the service. This allows you to avoid detection and blocking by websites or services that may track your online activity.

Key points that ensure anonymity:

1. Resident and ISP proxies: These proxies appear as normal user IP addresses, making them virtually indistinguishable from regular internet users. This helps avoid suspicion and reduces the risk of being blocked.
2. HTTPS and SOCKS5 support: These protocols provide a high level of data protection and anonymity, as they encrypt traffic, preventing it from being intercepted by third parties.
3. No logs: Most high-quality proxy providers, including Proxyma.io, do not keep usage logs, which further increases the level of anonymity.

By using a proxy from Proxyma.io, you can be sure that your online activity will be securely protected and anonymous.

Yes, you can test the proxy on the website before purchasing. Simply write to support and explain why you want to use it.

There are plans with a trial period, which allows you to evaluate the quality of services without having to pay in full upfront.

You can also get resident proxies with limited traffic for a small fee, which allows you to test their performance and functionality.

After paying for the proxies, you will get access to them almost instantly. Usually, the process takes only a few minutes, as the automated system processes the order and provides you with the necessary data to connect to the proxies.

If there are any delays, they may be related to payment verification, but in most cases, proxies become available immediately after the transaction is completed.

Yes, you can use the proxy immediately after purchase. Usually, after completing the payment, you get access to proxy servers that can be used immediately. In the case of IP address authentication, you may first need to set up a whitelist of IP addresses from which you plan to use the proxy. If login and password authentication is used, you simply need to enter the credentials you received to gain access.

Proxies on the service are usually issued in the following format:

IP
— a standard format that includes an IP address and port.

• IP:Port:Username
  — if username and password authentication is used. This format includes the IP address, port, username, and password.
• IP
  — if IP address authentication is used (no need to enter a username and password).

This format is suitable for most programs and tools that work with proxy servers. If you have specific format requirements, it is recommended that you clarify them before purchasing a proxy.

Two types of authentication are available:

1. Username and password authentication: This method requires the user to enter a username and password to access the proxy. This information is specified in the HTTP Proxy-Authentication header when sending a request. This is the most commonly used method for resident proxies.
2. IP address authentication: This method allows users to authenticate based on their IP address, which is pre-added to the whitelist in the proxy service control panel. In this case, there is no need to use a username and password, as access is granted automatically when the IP address is matched.

Both methods provide security and access control, depending on the user’s needs and preferences.

A shared proxy (also known as a shared proxy server) is a proxy server whose IP address is used by multiple users simultaneously. This type of proxy is usually available at a lower price or for free, but it has certain characteristics that are important to consider.

Key features of a general proxy:

1. Sharing:
   • The same proxy IP address can be used by several users simultaneously. This reduces the cost of the service, as server resources are shared among many clients.
2. Anonymity and security:
   • Anonymity may be compromised, as multiple users may share the same IP address. This increases the risk that the IP address will be blocked due to the actions of other users.
3. Performance:
   • Connection speed and stability may suffer due to high server load, as multiple users may simultaneously use the proxy for different tasks, creating competition for resources.
4. Risk of blocking:
   • Since a shared proxy is used by multiple users, its IP address may be more easily detected and blocked by websites, especially if one of the users uses it for unwanted or suspicious activities (e.g., spamming, web scraping, etc.).
5. Accessibility:
   • General proxies are often more affordable and can be useful for tasks that do not require a high level of security and anonymity.

Advantages of a shared proxy:

• Low cost: Public proxy servers are usually cheaper or even free, as resources are shared among many users.
• Accessibility: They are easily accessible and can be useful for simple tasks such as browsing web pages or bypassing access restrictions.

Disadvantages of a shared proxy:

• Risk of blocking: If one user violates the site’s rules, the proxy IP address may be blocked, which will affect all other users.
• Low performance: Due to resource sharing, connection speeds may be slow, especially during peak hours.
• Reduced security: Since multiple users have access to the same IP address, the level of security and privacy is reduced.

Using a general proxy:

• Browsing web pages: General proxies are suitable for anonymous surfing on the Internet when high speed or security is not required.
• Testing: They can be used to test certain websites or services, especially if high reliability is not required.
• Bypassing geo-blocks: General proxies can help you access region-restricted content, although success is not guaranteed due to possible blocks.

Yes, you can. Proxyma allows you to replace your proxy in case of malfunctions or other problems. We always try to accommodate our users.

If you have any further questions, please contact our support team and we will offer you a customized solution depending on your situation.

Yes, you can buy proxy servers from different countries on the Proxyma.io website. This service provides access to proxies with IP addresses from various geographical regions, allowing you to choose IP addresses according to your needs, for example, to bypass geographical restrictions or test content in certain countries.

To select a proxy from a specific country, you need to specify this when placing your order on the website. This is usually done through the country or region selection interface available when purchasing a proxy.

If you have specific requirements for a country or region, we recommend contacting Proxyma.io support for details and available options.

Yes, you can extend your proxy rental period on the Proxyma.io website. This is usually done automatically through the auto-renewal feature, which extends your proxy usage for the next period unless you cancel your subscription. If you want to extend your proxy rental manually or change your subscription settings, you can do so through your personal account on the website.

If you have any questions or problems with renewal, we recommend contacting Proxyma.io support for help and advice.

Yes, there are. More detailed terms and conditions can be found here. The terms and conditions of the referral program are written here.

1. Go to the “Balance” tab.
2. In the replenishment section, select the “Enot” payment method.
3. Enter the amount you want to top up. Make sure the amount is entered correctly.
4. Click the “Proceed to payment” button, after which you will be redirected to the Enot payment system page.
5. On the Enot page, select your preferred payment method (bank card, e-wallet, etc.).
6. Enter the necessary payment details (e.g., card number, expiration date, and CVV code for bank cards).
7. Ensure that all data has been entered correctly.
8. Check the information you have entered and confirm the payment. You may need to complete an additional verification step (e.g., entering a code from an SMS or confirming via a banking app).

If your IP address changes frequently when connected to a proxy, this means that you have purchased a plan from the “Dynamic Residential Proxies” line. If you need a permanent (static) IP address to perform your tasks, we recommend that you switch to a plan from the “ISP Proxies” line.

This type of rotation is only available for Dynamic Proxies. For dynamic proxies, the Proxyma platform allows you to select the rotation period according to the following conditions: no rotation (sticky session), per request, or by time (every 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes). Due to the peculiarities of how resident proxy technology works, this approach is a much more stable, faster, and easier way to replace an IP address than replacing it manually.

What should I do if the IP address I set is different from the one displayed?

If the IP address you see is different from the one shown, it could mean there’s a problem with your proxy or VPN settings, or there’s a conflict with other network configurations on your device. Here are a few steps you can take to fix this:

1. Restarting the device and network equipment

Restart your computer, router, and any network devices. This may help refresh network settings and resolve temporary conflicts.

2. Clearing the DNS cache

• Sometimes old DNS entries can cause problems with displaying IP addresses. Try clearing your DNS cache:
  • On Windows: Open the command prompt and enter ipconfig /flushdns.
  • On macOS and Linux: Open Terminal and run the command sudo dscacheutil -flushcache (for macOS) or sudo systemd-resolve –flush-caches (for Linux).

3. Checking for IP leaks

Sometimes, even when connected via a proxy or VPN, your real IP address can “leak” through WebRTC, DNS, or other mechanisms. Check for IP leaks using special online tests such as ipleak.net.

4. Checking browser settings

• If you are using a proxy through your browser, ensure that its settings do not conflict with your system settings. Disable any extensions that may interfere with network performance.

5. Checking the firewall and antivirus software

• Ensure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking or altering network connections, which could result in different IP addresses.

6. Proxy support connection

If the problem persists, contact support at https://t.me/Proxyma_Support. They can check whether their server is working properly and help with the settings.

Depending on your needs, you can choose one of these proxy types. HTTPS proxies are suitable for secure web browsing, while SOCKS5 proxies are better suited for more complex tasks that require flexibility and speed.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an enhanced version of HTTP that provides secure data transmission between the client (e.g., a browser) and the server using SSL/TLS encryption.

HTTPS proxy:

• Working with web content: HTTPS proxies are used to handle HTTP and HTTPS requests, making them useful for working with websites and web applications.
• Data encryption: This type of proxy server encrypts all traffic, making it ideal for protecting confidential information when transmitted over the Internet.
• Anonymity: An HTTPS proxy hides your real IP address, helping you stay anonymous online.
• Content filtering: These proxies can block or allow access to certain websites, making them useful for corporate use.

SOCKS5 is a more versatile protocol that can work with any type of traffic, whether it be HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or even P2P.

SOCKS5 proxy:

• Multifunctionality: SOCKS5 is not limited to web traffic; it can handle any data, including games, torrents, and messaging programs.
• UDP support: Unlike previous versions, SOCKS5 supports both TCP and UDP protocols, making it more flexible.
• Higher speed: Since SOCKS5 operates at a lower level, it does not encrypt data, which can improve connection speed. However, this also means that traffic is not as secure as it is with HTTPS.
• Authentication: SOCKS5 supports various authentication methods, which increases connection security.

Yes, of course, our project architecture ensures that the next tariff plan will retain your settings and you will not need to change anything in the anti-detection browser.

Can I get a discount for a large volume if I buy 500 GB?

All rates are discussed individually with our administrator https://t.me/proxyma_io. He will assess your monthly needs and the required number of ports and offer you the best terms on the market.

Our proxies are compatible with most popular websites. More than 300,000 websites appear in the world every day. For accurate verification, you can write to our manager https://t.me/Proxyma_Support and she will help you make your choice.

How do I set up an IP change?

In our office https://cabinet.proxyma.io/en/login, this function is automated. In the account, you can set the parameter to change the IP address on request when generating each proxy sheet. If you are unsure how to use this function, please write to our manager https://t.me/Proxyma_Support.

Could your proxy not be working, and how quickly can you resolve this?

Like any technical service, the proxy service may be temporarily unavailable, and some countries, cities, and GEOs may be unavailable. We are constantly working to improve our service and try to minimize any technical issues. If something is not working for you, please write to our manager at https://t.me/Proxyma_Support.

You will receive an informative response about the status of our system and qualified technical support.

You can set the IP change timer in your personal account https://t.me/Proxyma_Support.

If the country of the displayed proxy server is incorrect, this can cause problems, especially if you are trying to use the proxy to access content that is restricted based on geography. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

Use several services to determine the location of your IP address. Some of them may show different results due to differences in geolocation databases. Popular services:

• IPinfo
• MaxMind
• IP2Location
• WhatIsMyIP

Sometimes services simply misidentify the country. You can manually check the IP address ranges to understand which country it actually belongs to.

If the problem persists after completing these steps, you may want to consider using a different service to change your IP address and country.

How can you tell IPv4 from IPv6?

Length: IPv4 addresses are shorter (usually 12 characters, including dots), while IPv6 addresses are longer (up to 39 characters, including colons).

Characters: IPv4 uses only numbers and dots, while IPv6 also includes letters (A-F) and colons.

Examples:

• IPv4: 192.168.1.1
• IPv6: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 or 2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334

No, the IP address of a residential proxy is not stored on your computer. When you purchase and use a proxy, your computer connects to a proxy server, which redirects your internet traffic through its IP address. This IP address belongs to the proxy server, not your computer.

Your computer only stores proxy connection settings that allow it to send traffic through a proxy server. The proxy server’s IP address itself is not stored on your device as part of its configuration. Instead, each time you make a request, your computer uses the specified proxy IP address to access the internet, hiding your real IP address from the websites and services you interact with.

A proxy is an intermediary between your device and the internet. When you use a proxy, your internet traffic first passes through this intermediary, which then forwards it on. As a result, websites and services see the IP address of the proxy server rather than your real IP address.

Imagine you want to send a letter, but you don’t want the recipient to know your real address. You send the letter through a friend, who forwards it on their behalf. The recipient sees your friend’s address, not yours. In this case, your friend is a proxy.

1. Anonymity and personal data protection

• Hiding your IP address: A proxy hides your real IP address by replacing it with another one. This helps protect your identity online and makes you less vulnerable to tracking.
• Protection from surveillance: By using a proxy, you reduce the chances that websites, applications, and even your internet service provider will be able to track your online activity.

2. Access to blocked or restricted content

• Bypassing geographic restrictions: Some websites and services restrict access based on your location. A proxy with an IP address from another region helps you bypass such restrictions.
• Access content blocked in your country: A proxy allows you to access websites or services that are blocked in your region.

3. Security and traffic filtering

• Filtering unwanted content: In a corporate environment, proxies can be used to filter unwanted websites and content, preventing access to them.
• Threat protection: Some proxy servers can scan traffic for malware, protecting your devices from viruses and other threats.

4. Speeding up your Internet connection

• Data caching: A proxy can store (cache) copies of web pages and other resources. When you request the same data again, the proxy can quickly retrieve it from the cache, improving download speeds.
• Traffic optimization: Proxy services can compress data or block unnecessary elements on web pages, which can also speed up loading times.

5. Managing multiple accounts

• Social media and marketing: To manage multiple accounts on social media or other online platforms, a proxy helps you avoid being blocked or violating rules related to using a single IP address for multiple accounts.

6. Parsing and data analysis

Collecting data from websites: Proxies allow automated tools to collect data from websites without being blocked or detected. This is important for marketers, researchers, and analysts.

Resident proxies are proxy servers that use IP addresses provided by Internet service providers (ISPs) and/or are located on real (resident) devices such as laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, and so on. They allow users to hide their real IP address and change their geolocation.

Resident proxies have many advantages and areas of application, such as:

• Ensuring user anonymity online and protecting them from tracking.
• Bypass geographic restrictions and access blocked resources and content.
• Improving web scraping and anonymous collection of publicly available data from open sources.
• Manage multiple social media accounts or bots without arousing suspicion or risking de-anonymization.
• Launching various advertising campaigns.

Unlike server proxies, residential proxies are considered more reliable and more secure against tracking. The residential proxy market has a large number of IP addresses available in thousands of locations around the globe, which makes it impossible to block them. Another advantage of residential proxies is that they can have multiple IP addresses at once, allowing you to automatically deploy hundreds of connections from a single location.

You can always find out if you are using a proxy by checking your IP address. If your IP address is different from before, then you have successfully set up a proxy on your iPhone. Just type “what’s my IP address” into a search engine, and you will see several websites that instantly read and display your IP address.

In Windows, you can quickly check your proxy by clicking Start, then Run, typing “cmd,” and clicking OK. At the command prompt, type “netsh winhttp show proxy,” and then press ENTER. Your proxy settings will appear shortly.

In Google Chrome, you can easily check your proxy server and firewall settings by following these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome, then click on the Menu icon.
2. Go to the Settings section.
3. Scroll down and select Show advanced settings….
4. On the Network tab, click Change proxy settings.

This will open the Windows Internet Options window. Go to the Connections LAN Settings to check the details.

1. Check whether our package or account balance has expired.

2. Check whether antivirus software, a firewall, or other personal security tools are blocking the ports used to connect to the proxy.

3. Wait for a while. If the problem occurred during task execution, the service will remain in standby mode and check the proxies every 5 minutes until they are restored to working order.

If you see from the logs that this has not been happening for a very long time, then there is probably no point in waiting—it is better to stop the task and investigate further, as the proxy may have been blocked.

4. Try reconnecting from another proxy in a similar address range.

1. Update your web browser to the latest version or reinstall it. If there is no connection to the proxy server, your browser version may be outdated. After installation, you will need to reconfigure the proxy connection.

2. Check the proxy settings in your browser. It is likely that the user previously made changes that led to a connection error.

3. Clear your cache. This is the easiest way to fix your proxy server. To do this, go to your browser history. You can do this via the menu or by pressing Ctrl + H. Select a time range; for best results, we recommend setting the period to “All time.”

4. Check for malware using antivirus software. It is not recommended to run a scan using an application that is already installed on the device. There are many free programs available online that can detect threats.

5. Disable proxy software. To verify that it is the proxy server that is blocking the transfer, check your network access without using a proxy.

6. Clear the database in the system registry.

No. Our proxies are obtained ethically and legally, and we adhere to a transparent business policy.

The bandwidth of each channel may vary. It is typically up to 100 Mbps. The final speed depends on network traffic.

ISP proxy: 1 stream per 1 proxy

The difference between IPv4 and IPv6 proxies is related to the version of the Internet Protocol they use. Both types of protocols perform a similar task—they provide unique IP addresses for devices on the network—but they differ in structure, the number of available addresses, and support.

Key differences between IPv4 and IPv6 proxies:

1. Address space:
   • IPv4: IPv4 addresses consist of 32 bits and are written as four groups of numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.0.1). This allows for the creation of approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which is no longer sufficient due to the large number of devices on the network.
   • IPv6: IPv6 addresses consist of 128 bits and are written as eight groups of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) . This allows for a huge number of unique addresses (about 340 undecillion), which effectively solves the problem of IP address shortage.
2. Support and compatibility:
   • IPv4: Widely supported by all devices and Internet services. Virtually the entire Internet is based on IPv4, so using these proxies guarantees compatibility with most websites and services.
   • IPv6: Although IPv6 is gradually being implemented, not all websites and services fully support this protocol. This may lead to incompatibility and the inability to access certain resources when using an IPv6 proxy.
3. Speed and efficiency:
   • IPv4: In some cases, IPv4 proxies may be slower due to the need to use NAT (Network Address Translation) to connect multiple devices from a single IP address, which creates additional network load.
   • IPv6: IPv6 proxies can be more efficient, as each user can have a unique IP address without the need for NAT, which reduces latency and improves network performance.
4. Price and availability:
   • IPv4: Due to the limited number of IPv4 addresses, their cost may be higher, especially for residential proxies.

IPv6: IPv6 addresses are much more accessible and cheaper due to their vast number, making them an attractive option for many users.

HTTP(S) and SOCKS (versions 4 and 5) are different types of proxy protocols used for data transfer between a client (your device) and a server (an internet resource). They have distinct functionalities and are designed for various purposes. Let’s examine their differences and use cases.

1. HTTP(S) Proxies:

Description:

• HTTP: A protocol used for transferring hypertext data (web pages) over the internet. An HTTP proxy operates at the application layer and is designed to handle web requests.
• HTTPS: This is a version of HTTP with encryption (SSL/TLS) that protects data from interception.

Key Features:

• Request Tunneling: An HTTP proxy forwards client requests to a web server and returns the received response. It can cache pages, filter content, and modify request headers.
• Web Content Handling: An HTTP proxy is suitable for working with websites and supports cookies, authentication, and other web functionalities.
• HTTPS Support: Allows for encryption, ensuring the protection of data transmitted between the client and server.

Advantages:

• Optimal for working with websites and web applications.
• Supports encryption when working with HTTPS.
• Can filter and modify web content.

Limitations:

• Supports only web traffic (HTTP/HTTPS), making it unsuitable for other types of traffic such as email or gaming.

2. SOCKS Proxies (versions 4 and 5):

Description:

• SOCKS 4: A basic version of the protocol that operates at the transport layer and supports TCP traffic transfer.
• SOCKS 5: An extended version that supports both TCP and UDP traffic, as well as authentication and working with proxies behind NAT.

Key Features:

• Flexibility: A SOCKS proxy can transfer any type of traffic (e.g., email, FTP, games), not just HTTP/HTTPS. It operates at a lower level than an HTTP proxy and can be used with any applications that support this protocol.
• Anonymity: A SOCKS proxy does not process requests at the application layer and does not modify data, which makes it more anonymous.
• Support for Various Protocols: SOCKS 5 supports both TCP and UDP, making it more versatile compared to SOCKS 4.

Advantages:

• Suitable for all types of traffic, including HTTP, FTP, P2P, gaming, etc.
• SOCKS 5 offers greater flexibility due to its support for authentication and encryption.
• Provides better anonymity as it does not interfere with data.

Limitations:

• Does not support filtering and modification of web content like an HTTP proxy.
• Typically does not cache web pages or speed up access to them.

Which one is better?

The choice of protocol depends on your needs:

• HTTP(S) proxy: Best suited if your primary task is working with websites and web applications. It allows you to filter and modify web content and supports encryption via HTTPS.
• SOCKS (especially SOCKS 5) proxy: Best suited if you need to work with various types of traffic (e.g., for gaming, P2P networks, FTP, etc.). SOCKS 5 also provides better anonymity and flexibility due to its support for various protocols and authentication.

Public or free proxies are an affordable but less reliable and secure solution compared to paid proxies. They can be useful for simple tasks that do not require high security or stability, but for more serious tasks, it is better to use paid, private proxy services that provide high speed, reliability, and data protection.

Key risks and limitations:

• Low security: Public proxies can expose you to the risk of data interception, especially if you are transmitting sensitive information such as passwords or credit card numbers.
• Low performance: Due to congestion, the connection may be slow and unstable.
• Uncertainty of operation: There is no guarantee that the proxy will operate for a long time or stably.

A package proxy (also called a proxy pool) is a service that provides users with access to a large number of proxy servers within a single package. This allows you to use different IP addresses for tasks that require multiple connections to internet resources, without the risk of being blocked for using the same IP address.

Batch proxies are an effective solution for users who need to work with a large number of IP addresses simultaneously. They allow for flexible and secure execution of tasks requiring multiple connections and requests, with minimal risk and optimal costs.

Private, individual, exclusive, elite, and dedicated proxies are terms often used to describe the same type of proxy server, which is intended for use by only one user or organization.

Advantages:

• No congestion: Since the IP address is used by only one user, there is no risk of slow performance due to a large number of connections.
• Resistance to blocking: Private proxies are generally more difficult to block because they are not as widely known as public proxies.
• Personalized settings: Private proxies can be customized according to user needs.

Disadvantages:

• Cost: Private proxies are usually more expensive than public ones, as they provide a higher level of service and reliability.
• Need for support: Depending on the provider, support may be required for configuration or troubleshooting.

Private, individual, or exclusive proxies are a reliable and secure solution for users who need to perform tasks that require high performance, stability, and anonymity. They are suitable for a variety of applications, from automation to protecting privacy on the Internet.

To find out how many proxy subnets you have after purchasing them, you need to follow a few steps. A subnet is a group of IP addresses that are in the same range and use a common prefix. Here’s how you can do it:

Use commands in the command line

If you have access to proxy IP addresses, you can use the command line to check. Here are some commands that may help:

Ping: You can check which IP addresses respond in a given subnet.
bash
Copy code

ping 

• Traceroute: This can help determine which routes data takes through proxies.
  bash
  Copy code

traceroute 

Identify the subnet by IP address

If you have proxy IP addresses, you can determine their subnets. To do this:

1. Determine the subnet mask. Typically, this is 255.255.255.0 for class C subnets, 255.255.0.0 for class B, and so on.
2. Use subnet calculators or commands such as ipcalc to determine how many addresses are in a given subnet.

Use network analysis tools

There are tools and programs that can help you analyze your network and subnets, such as:

• Nmap: A powerful network scanning tool that can help identify active devices and their subnets.
• Wireshark: A network analyzer that can display information about packets and network connections.

Example of subnet definition

If you have an IP address range, for example, 192.168.1.0/24, this means that you have 256 addresses (from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255) in this subnet. You can use these addresses for proxies.

Residential proxies are IP addresses provided by providers to regular users, which makes them reliable and protected from detection. In fact, this technology masks the end user as a user from another country.

A resident proxy server routes your internet traffic through an intermediary server. The proxy server assigns you an alternative IP address through which all your requests to the server are routed. There are static and rotating proxies.

Rotating residential proxies enable companies to collect competitor data on a large scale in order to instantly update market prices. This helps companies maintain competitive prices relative to all competitors simultaneously.

Large pool of proxy addresses – large providers have millions of IP addresses, so you can make a huge number of requests without repeating the same IP twice. This gives you two more advantages: Multiple locations – these IP addresses are usually scattered around the world.

Marketers and SEO specialists: They use residential proxies for data parsing, tracking search engine rankings, and analyzing competitors.

E-commerce companies: Use proxies to monitor prices for goods and services in order to remain competitive.

Security specialists: Use proxies to check for vulnerabilities, protect against DDoS attacks, and test web applications.

Data researchers and analysts: Use residential proxies to collect large amounts of data, conduct research, and analyze trends.

SMM and content managers: Use proxies to manage multiple social media accounts, automate posting, and collect statistics.

Programmers and developers: Use proxies to test applications and services, as well as to bypass restrictions on access to certain resources.

Analytical companies: Use proxies to collect data on consumer preferences and analyze supply and demand in various markets.

Advertising and PR agents: Use residential proxies to conduct advertising campaigns, analyze advertising effectiveness, and check regional differences in ad impressions.

Source and legality of IP addresses:

• Ensure that the proxy service offers legitimate and ethical residential IP addresses. Some providers may use IP addresses of questionable origin, which may result in blocking.

Geographical location of IP:

• It is important to understand which countries and regions the offered IP addresses are located in. If you need proxies for a specific country, make sure that the provider offers IP addresses in that region.

Connection speed and stability:

• Check the speed and stability of your connection when using a proxy. Low speed can significantly slow down task execution, and an unstable connection can lead to failures.

Number and rotation of IP addresses:

• Find out how many IP addresses are provided and how often they rotate. The automatic IP address rotation feature can be useful for certain tasks, such as data parsing or managing multiple accounts.

Anonymity and data protection:

• Check how well the proxy service protects your anonymity. A reliable service should hide your location and protect your data from leaks.

Compatibility with necessary services and applications:

• Ensure that the proxies are compatible with the tools you plan to use (e.g., browsers, parsing programs, social networks, etc.).

Technical support and reviews:

• Read reviews about the service and check how quickly the support team responds. This is especially important if you encounter technical problems or have questions.

Pricing policy:

• Compare prices from different providers and find out what services are included in the price. Some services may offer discounts for long-term subscriptions or when purchasing a large number of IP addresses.

Refund Policy:

• Ensure that the provider has a clear refund policy in case the proxy does not meet your expectations.

Resident proxies can be useful for working with Steam, especially if you need to bypass regional restrictions or increase your anonymity. However, it is important to remember the risks and use them responsibly to avoid sanctions from the platform.

Proxies should only be used for tasks that do not violate Steam’s policies, such as protecting your anonymity or accessing content in another country (if permitted).

Steam actively combats violations of its terms of use, especially attempts to circumvent regional restrictions. Using a proxy server to purchase games or change your account region may result in your account being temporarily suspended or even banned.

ISP proxy servers are also known as static residential proxies. They are real residential IP addresses that are reserved for a single user and do not change.

ISP proxy servers are purchased from Internet service providers. These are residential proxies that appear to be home proxies, but are actually located on servers routed through ISP networks. This gives you all the benefits of a super-fast connection and a private residential IP address that is not shared with anyone else.

You get access to information with a real residential IP address reserved just for you. Use ISP proxies to create and manage new accounts, bypass captchas, and scale marketing campaigns. They can also be used to ensure high speed and connection stability, bypass various restrictions, and parse data.

Users who want to bypass website blocking, IP bans, and other methods of restricting access to web resources. Proxies can also be used to speed up and cache pages — more on that below.

Professionals who need to monitor traffic or hide information about their device, such as SMM specialists or testers.

Companies that want to control their employees’ traffic and access to the internet. They use proxies to track and block entertainment websites.

Residential proxy servers use IP addresses that belong to real users and their devices (e.g., home computers, smartphones). These IP addresses are registered to physical addresses and assigned by internet service providers to regular users.

ISP IP addresses: ISP proxy servers use IP addresses that are officially allocated by ISPs, but are controlled directly by the proxy provider rather than by end users.
