What is this website
This website provides searchable database with proxy services alongside reviews and other proxy information. Data is being collected either from hands-on testing (those plans have verified badges and their providers have a rating) or just from provider claims on the main page if not yet tested. It's an answer to endless affiliate-focused websites that have 10 screens reading on how to register in each of top-10 providers and have no downsides at all. I've been burned many times when trying to use proxies in my work - some providers have unreliable and/or shared proxy pool, other have slow support, some are just lying about their services. Already on the pool overlap page you can see which services are using proxies from the same pool, while providing sometimes drastically different user experience and prices.
Author
Right now the website has only 1 author and it's me, Dmytro Bezrodny, software engineer, entrepreneur and overall decent guy.
Methodology
You can read more about methodology being used on appropriate page, but to put it shortly - I'm trying to buy every plan of a provider, send some requests from each proxy, gather results and add my own experience of using services. Few words on rating and sorting. I'm scoring proxy quality itself as well as provider/website. Even a 10/10 proxy can't be justified if you got problems with payments twice in a row. As for sorting, specifically about sorting multiple providers with same rating, - it's either random, or ties are broken by preference, or what's more profitable for the website, the rating itself is never affected. I may introduce 10-star system later, but for now most of first page are 4-star providers, for example (yes, the're all good, but not excellent). Anyway, I'd advise against acting on order alone, read reviews first.
AI Usage
I'm using an LLM in code, to proof-read reviews (duplication, types, grammar checking) and for general advice. Data is collected and reviews are written by fat human hands.
Monetization
The website is monetized (poorly) with affiliate links. And no, you don't pay more by clicking them, often even less, if a provider has a promo program (you can see it with little yellow discount badge or as a code in the review). In the future there can be featured listings, but right now it's all there is. One thing to note here - you may have noticed that most reviewed providers have affiliate links right now. This is due to the fact that after gathering initial provider information I didn't know which providers should be reviewed in the first batch, so affiliate ones looked like a pretty straightforward decision. I've also grabbed bunch of the most popular providers, just because. Providers will be added and reviewed in some order a bit later, just a heads up for users and service owners.
