Verdict

Summary

Service has decent residential pool, but everything else is disgusting. Country filter doesn't work with IP auth in any plan. Subscription cancel is a 7-action task. Every time you checkout, add card or do other actions in payment territory - you have to pass CAPTCHA for some reason.

Pros

  • decent residential proxies quality
  • individual IPs are available to select in residential plan

Cons

  • datacenter plan has legitimately the worst proxies I've ever seen

Description

proxy dashboard
You get both endpoint for rotating proxy and a list of proxies which is pretty cool. Had no problems with this plan in particular.

Description

proxy dashboard
Proxies have limit to bandwidth, starting from 250 Gb for the base plan. ASN was 11404 (Wave Broadband). Decent proxy, zero problems outside of risk score which probably can be dealt with using upselling option for 'clean IP'.

Description

proxy dashboard
Proxies have limit to bandwidth, starting from 250 Gb for the base plan. While you can connect to proxies as a list, I've tried rotating endpoint and it so bad I don't even know what we're doing - I've got 15 unique IP out of 100 available from 100 requests. 15 requests just won't connect with authorization error. Those 15 IP that made it had 28 median risk score. Should say that with all of this circus and its monkeys - at least you get a bunch of different ASNs, which is better than I expected. IP auth didn't work correctly either but at this point I don't really care.

Despite high rating overall - there's a ton of recent negative 1-star reviews. Most complains are about proxy quality and it feels just about right.
