Nice and trusted service.
I have been using their datacenter proxy service for 2 months now, their service is great and their support system works really well. Normally I was out of refreshes but I kindly asked them to add 1 refresh for one time, they added. Overall, it is a great experience.
I tested their residential proxies and…
I tested their residential proxies and they are very good! THe ips are truly residential so I didn't experience any blocks on my target site
Proxy Pool Service: Misrepresented Specifications
I purchased a package for 2,500 threads, but actual testing revealed that concurrent operations could only be sustained at 300 threads; at higher thread counts, the success rate dropped progressively.
Try to avoid purchasing services that lack a real-time dashboard, as vendors in this space almost invariably grossly inflate their advertised specifications.
PlainProxies
PlainProxies is a residential proxy network providing real ISP IPs for web scraping and automation. Developers access the service via a proxy gateway which handles IP rotation and sticky sessions up to 24 hours on their behalf.
Ideal Use Cases
This residential proxy network uses real device IPs for web data extraction and ad verification. It is accessed via a proxy port using HTTP or SOCKS5 protocols.
Ideal Use Cases
- E-commerce & price monitoring: real residential IPs reduce blocks on retail sites
- Ad verification: verify ads as real users in specific countries or cities
- Social media data: natural browsing patterns help bypass aggressive detection
- Travel & hotel pricing: access location-specific rates via 195+ country geos
Poor Use Cases
- Real-time, low-latency lookups: residential peer availability changes dynamically
- Multi-step flows & logged-in sessions: peers may disconnect at any time during sessions
- Large-scale crawling: per-GB costs may be high compared to datacenter proxies
- Mobile apps & mobile-only content: documentation only lists residential peer IPs via SDK
