A proxy is a service between you (the client) and a webserver (the destination).
Depending on the type of the proxy, the destination webserver will register the IP address of the proxy instead of the clients real IP.
Our US proxies are of the highest quality, the destination webserver will not see your real IP address.
HTTP and SOCKS are software protocols.
A SOCKS proxy is a lower level protocol which allows to tunnel most Internet protocols through it.
A HTTP proxy is a higher level protocol which is optimized to tunnel HTTP traffic but is capable to tunnel many more protocols.
We offer both variants, you can choose the protocol within your account settings.
For most tasks HTTP proxies are a good choice.
People often ask for 'elite' proxies and many services advertise with this feature.
Basically it just means that a proxy is 'high anonymous', this means that the proxy has two qualities:
Users often are not aware about the fact that levels of anonymity or 'elite' only applies for HTTP proxies.
1) The proxy protocol header does not leak the client IP address to the destination webserver.
2) The proxy protocol header does not leak the fact that it is a proxy to the destination webserver.
Of course our proxies are high anonymous.
Our service does not provide legal anonymity.
We keep encrypted data caches and detailed IP usage logs for all customers.
We cooperate with legal authorities.
You are welcome to write a support ticket about your project/use case if you are unsure.
A lot of our customers are using proxies to find b2b leads and prospects or for recruiting.
Especially platforms like LinkedIn can not be scraped anymore, even with our highest quality IP addresses this isn't possible. No matter the price.
Check out Datalead, they provide b2b data at fair rates.
Our proxies work great for scraping Google, Yahoo or Bing. Sometimes the effort of a self-made solution is more than you want to invest.
Our partner scraping.services provides exactly these sort of services by API.
You can also compare prices, you'll be cheaper off with us if your use is very consistent and cheaper with them if your use is less predictable.
We are an IP service, our customers obtain a number of IP addresses which are dedicated to their account.
To use one of those IPs the customer launches a proxy process which provides service as SOCKS or HTTP proxy.
Our proxy processes can be controlled full automated through our API or through the web based Control Center.
In some cases a customer will require to access more than one IP at the same time, this is possible by upgrading the proxy plan.
Additional proxy processes cost a few additional USD per month.
Geolocation means 'geographic location', our proxies fulfill the two required qualities for geolocation:
1) The IP address is hosted within a datacenter in the specified city.
2) The IP address is correctly recognized by the leading geolocation database provider (MaxMind).
This means that traceroute as well as meta data from geolocation providers will correctly pinpoint our IPs to the right location.
When you order a Plan we require you to give us details about your project or usage.
We strictly prohibit spamming, spammy activity and any other activity that is violating EU or US laws.
We actively monitor our servers to make sure our customers stick to our acceptable use policy.
This might sound restrictive but actually our strictly enforced rules are the reason why our service is working so well for all our customers.
Our HTTP and SOCKS proxies are especially well suited for professionals who require a reliable and flexible solution for their tasks and projects.
We especially aim our service at data scraping and data mining projects and are well experienced with such tasks.
Also posting advertisements can be simplified but we have strict guidelines when it comes to such activities.
Scraping and data mining are terms which describe the automated download and parsing of online data sources.
For example Google or other search engines are powered by scrapers (crawlers) and many projects are actually powered by mining results from Google.
In principe almost any data source can be scraped social networks, search engines, databases, web registries and so on.
First of all you should get in contact with us, together we an find out how many IP addresses you need and how to continue exactly.
We provide quite advanced free Google Scraper source code which is able to scrape from Google, you may use this as a base for your project.
It's a pity, we do not offer any sort of refund during an active billing period.
However, you can cancel a subscription agreement at any time to prevent further monthly fees.
It's a pity, we do not provide any sort of free trial.
The main reason is that we do not resell an IP address for many months after it has been used.
However, you can start out with a smaller plan and upgrade it once you have ensured our service fits you.
You will find our service is reliable, fast and professional.
