Buy fast IPv4 proxies

Basic suits an affordable proxy for a basic connection, checking software, or work without sustained load. It is also the sensible entry point: a good place to verify the location, the protocol and compatibility with the resource you need before paying for anything dearer.

The term is fixed at 30 days with no auto-renewal. If Basic does not give you enough performance headroom, move to Dedicated — the connection procedure does not change.

Dedicated is built for scenarios where speed, connection stability and freedom from other people’s load come first. The address is sourced from a partner for a specific order, the term is chosen at checkout, and the same address is renewed with the "Extend" button in your account.

Before buying a large number of Dedicated proxies, test a few IPs directly in the software you will use. That is the only way to learn the actual result for your particular program-site-connection combination, and it is cheaper than finding out at volume.

A Private plan exists in the service model but is not currently on sale, so it is neither offered nor priced on this page.

It makes little difference to the choice: there is no intermediate step between Basic and Dedicated in the current catalog, and exclusivity is identical on both plans on sale.

Pick a plan, a location, a protocol and the number of addresses — the total recalculates immediately, before you place the order.

Throughput is how much data a connection carries per unit of time. It matters most when loading pages full of images, files and other heavy elements.

But high throughput does not guarantee an instant response if latency between you and the server is high: these are two independent parameters.

Ping is the time it takes for a request to reach the server and the answer to come back. The lower the latency, the faster sites, browsers, applications, APIs, SEO services and automated systems feel.

For workloads made of many short requests, low ping matters more than maximum channel speed. If you are walking thousands of URLs weighing tens of kilobytes each, latency is your ceiling, not bandwidth.

The longer the network route between you, the proxy and the target site, the higher the latency can be. Consider not only the country of the IP but where the resource you will work with sits.

Current locations with prices are in the country catalog. Russia, Kazakhstan and Germany have pages of their own.

If the server or the channel is congested, speed drops even when the advertised throughput is high. An advertised figure is a ceiling, not a guarantee at every moment.

For regular professional work, a plan with channel headroom and more predictable load is the better fit.

A proxy cannot make a third-party site answer faster than its own infrastructure allows. Slow loading can come from the target site’s server, its own restrictions, heavy pages, the network route, regional nodes or temporary load.

A practical tell: if one site opens quickly through a proxy and another slowly, the proxy is almost certainly not the problem.

The final speed cannot exceed what your local connection, hardware and software allow. A proxy adds a leg to the route; it does not widen your channel.

So when testing, measure the connection without the proxy first and only then compare it with the result through one. The procedure is in How to test speed.

HTTP and SOCKS5 behave differently in particular programs. The outcome depends on the connection method, authentication settings, the number of threads and the quirks of the software itself.

Before buying, make sure the protocol you choose is supported by your program: an incompatibility looks exactly like a "slow proxy" while the cause is somewhere else entirely.

Fast proxies suit lawful collection of publicly available data, checking page availability, analysing regional results and running SEO tools.

A stable connection matters most during regular checks across many queries and URLs: what shows there is not peak speed but the share of successful responses.

When collecting publicly available information, speed affects how long jobs take and how efficiently computing resources are used.

You still have to account for the target sites’ limits, legal requirements and each resource’s terms of use — proxy speed does not override any of that.

Proxies connect to programs, scripts and internal services that need their own static IPv4 or a particular location.

For parallel processes, consider not only channel speed but the acceptable number of connections. Managing a large pool is easier through the Proxy Soxy API.

Proxies help check sites, applications and user journeys from different locations. A team can test:

Proxies are used in browsers and compatible software when a separate IP, a stable session or a connection from a chosen region is needed.

On mobile devices the system settings come with their own limits — covered on the proxy for Android page.

Write down in advance:

Pick the country for the task and for where the target resource sits. The nearest location usually shortens the route, but regional testing may require an IP in a specific country.

If you specifically need a foreign location, start from the proxies by country catalog.

The final choice is dictated by your software’s requirements, not by general reasoning.

If budget is the deciding factor, see cheap proxies — it covers picking the minimum sufficient plan.

Before buying at scale, test one or several IPs. That verifies compatibility with the specific site, program, browser and your own local connection — exactly what no description can tell you.

If the test result meets your requirements, increase the number of proxies and re-check the system under real load: behaviour across ten parallel threads differs from behaviour across one.
