Verdict

Summary

Service is clearly orientated on professionals, a ton of settings and great proxy quality. Minimal top-up of $25 is very questionable decision. You don't buy bandwidth, instead you get credits which can be spend on different tiers of countries and both plans. If you like tweaking things and have deep pockets - you will love it. Whole service right now migrating to the new platform, previous review here was about old one, right now everything has been taken from new version. If you have account in previous platform - you can't migrate to new one, support told me to register new account. Well, at least support was fast with answers.

Pros

  • a ton of proxy settings
  • proxy quality is great

  • $25 minimum deposit

Description

proxy dashboard
Proxies have a ton of customization, targeting doesn't seem to have imaginary options, but ASN and ZIP filtering requires higher level subscription. You can set rotating rules - per request, by time, per error or bind 1 proxy until you stop sending requests to it. There is an option to get lookalike nodes and custom rules for error handling, such as rotate proxy, retry n times and simply return error.
You cannot change authorization type after creating a package. There are options to restrict proxies to country tiers (3 of them) or particular list of allowed countries. A ton of different traffic routing rules (dns, domains, ports). Basically heaven for anyone who is serious about technical side of proxies.
I had only 1 problem - provider has UDP support, but my tests on own relay server failed with timeout after handshake. However it works on other, public, server. I honestly don't fully understand situation here but it seems like these proxy don't want to work with my particular server.

Description

proxy settings
Basically the same plan with different IPs. Everything said about residential proxies applies here - same ton of options, same settings and same UDP problems (on my side, probably). Attached screenshot of settings, but this is more to get a gasp of categories, you should really try it yourself.

Most reviews are positive, however multiple people mentioned problems with residential proxies rotating even with sticky session. I personally didn't encounter that, it could easily be a bug when service was transfering to the new platform. Also people mentioned blocked access multiple times, so be aware of that.
