Verdict
Summary
Proxies seems to be working fine, left testing with absolute zero problems, however service quality is not really there. I've tried support a month ago and got human respond and everything, but right now chat just doesn't work alongside with referral program which still registered 0 referrals after months of clicks. This... behavior tracks with latest Truspilot reviews, at least before service was banned at their platform.Pros
- great proxy quality
- free trial
Cons
- prices are high for some plans
- trustpilot page is banned
- support chat doesn't work
- referral system doesn't work

Description
With 'Speed' filter proxies are supposed to be faster and it may be true, but I've tried 100 more proxies with it and saw literally zero changes. 'Quality' filter had 98% success rate, same median risk score and risk level distribution on 100 requests. Anyway - feel free to run filters since you only potentially sacrificing IP pool size.
While undisclosed - IPv6 works just fine, while UDP test is failing. Targeting seems to be accurate and don't have non-existing cities in options. For some reason you can select either ZIP or ISP.

Description
All IPs are at low risk level, 17/100 median risk score and 1.6% blacklist is pretty good for a datacenter plan. HOWEVER, all IPs seems to be owned by only 1 ASN (200373, 3xK Tech GmbH) which could be a problem for some tasks.

Due to the price I refuse to test it for now. Maybe one day when I'm rich and successful.

Too expensive to test considering these are probably same servers as in IPv4 datacenter plan.
