We now offer IPv4 datacenter proxies The sidebar on our website now has separate sections for different types of proxies. Static IPv4 datacenter proxies have been added alongside our dynamic residential proxies. 🏠 Residential proxies are charged by traffic — so you can buy as little as one gigabyte and get access to an unlimited number of IP addresses that can be used within your purchased traffic allowance. 🖥 Datacenter proxies are rented by time. You choose the GEO and the number of IP addresses in advance — from 1 to 1,000 — and get them at your disposal for a period ranging from one month to one year. 📞 These proxies have static IP addresses. They are assigned to you for the entire rental period and do not change. There are also no traffic volume limits for datacenter proxies. These proxies offer high speed and stable connections. However, websites and anti-bot systems generally trust them much less. Therefore, they should be used for tasks where a high IP reputation is not important.

🪙 Payment in rubles is now available in the bot! You can now pay for proxies in the bot using Russian bank cards and SBP. Simply select the corresponding option in the “Buy Traffic” section. The amount will be converted from US dollars to rubles using the current exchange rate.

📱 How to use our proxies on iOS? 💙 To connect to a proxy on an iPhone, you can use any app that supports this function. In this post, we will cover Potatso and Anywhere. Both apps are available for free on the App Store. First, you need to create a proxy list on our website or in our bot. If you encounter any difficulties at this stage, check out our post, where we explained in detail how to work with proxy lists. 1️⃣ Connecting with Potatso: On the main page, tap “Add Servers” → “Import Link”. Paste a link in the format “http://api[username]:[password]@gate.node-proxy. com:10000” into the field that appears. Then tap “Connect” on the main page. 2️⃣ Connecting with Anywhere: Tap “Add” and select “Manual”. Enter any name and select the SOCKS5 protocol. In the address field, enter “gate.node-proxy.com”, then enter the port (for example, 10000), username (starting with api), and password. After that, tap “Connect”. ⚙️ In both cases, your iPhone will ask you to confirm adding a new connection and enter your passcode. After successfully connecting, a VPN icon should appear at the top of the screen. You can check whether the proxy is working on websites such as 2ip.ru or 2ip.io.

How to Bypass Yandex SmartCaptcha 📈 According to statistics, around 14% of Russian websites that use CAPTCHA have implemented Yandex SmartCaptcha. In the Russian web segment, it is second only to Google reCAPTCHA. 🔨 The way this anti-bot system works is very similar to its international counterparts. When a user visits a website, the system may suspect that they are a bot and present a CAPTCHA to verify that they are human. To make this decision, SmartCaptcha analyzes numerous factors, including user behavior on the website, the browser fingerprint, request frequency, and many other signals. 🪖 Among all these "humanity" indicators, there's one we can help with — the IP address. If your task involves automated interaction with a website, using a proxy is usually essential. However, datacenter proxies are not the best choice, as the system tends to trust them less from the very beginning. Residential proxies are a much better option. Each IP address belongs to a real user, making the traffic appear much more natural to anti-bot systems. As a result, you're far less likely to encounter CAPTCHAs and other additional verification checks.

Why Can't Any Proxy Guarantee Complete Protection from Blocks? 🌐 A high-quality residential proxy really does help you encounter CAPTCHAs, restrictions, and blocks much less often. However, you shouldn't think of a proxy as a cure-all that can protect you from every possible issue. 🤖 Modern anti-bot systems no longer rely on the IP address alone. They analyze how a user behaves on a website, the request rate, the browser fingerprint, cookies, and many other signals. 💻 So if you send hundreds of requests to the same website every minute, the system will eventually block or restrict you regardless of how good your proxy is. A proxy does not make you invisible to anti-bot systems, but it significantly reduces the chances of your activity being flagged as suspicious. ⚙️ To minimize the risk of blocks, it's important not only to choose the right proxy, but also to configure an appropriate rotation strategy, use a reasonable request rate, set up a proper anti-detect browser, and optimize the rest of your workflow.

How to Choose a Proxy GEO Location 📋 When creating a new proxy list, you need to choose the location your proxies will belong to. We offer more than 195 locations across different countries and regions worldwide. On the website, you can simply select the desired location from the list, while in the bot, GEO is specified using a two-letter country code (for example: RU, KZ, DE). 🤩 The most important factor is the country from which the target website should see your connection. For example, if you need to collect search results shown to users in Russia, you should use a Russian proxy. Depending on the IP address, a website may display different prices, advertisements, search results, product availability, and other content. 🔑 It is also worth considering that the farther the selected location is from your actual location, the higher the connection latency will be. However, when browsing websites, working with accounts, or collecting data, this difference is usually barely noticeable. Ping only becomes important in situations where latency is a critical factor, such as gaming, streaming, and other real-time services.

👩‍💻 How to Use Our Proxies on Android? 🎮 To connect to a proxy on Android, you can install either Super Proxy or V2Box. Both apps are free and available on Google Play. First, create a proxy list on our website or through our bot. If you're having trouble with this step, check our guide on working with proxy lists. 1️⃣ How to Set Up Super Proxy: Tap "Add Proxy" and enter the following details: username (starts with "api"), password, server address (gate.node-proxy.com), and port (for example, 10000). Also select the protocol you want to use — SOCKS5 or HTTPS. Then tap "Start". 2️⃣ How to Set Up V2Box: Open the "Configurations" tab, tap the turquoise "+" icon, and select "Add Manual Configuration". Choose the SOCKS5 format and fill in the required details: username, password, server address, port, and other fields. Tap "Save", then select the created configuration and press "Auto-connect". ✅ Android may ask you to confirm the connection. Once connected successfully, a VPN icon should appear in the status bar. You can verify that the proxy is working by visiting 2ip.

Why Is Traffic-Based Pricing Beneficial? 💰 Our residential proxies are available only with traffic-based pricing rather than pricing based on the number of IP addresses. At first glance, this may seem less convenient, but in practice it’s quite the opposite. 🗂 When you purchase traffic, you get access to the entire IP pool rather than a fixed set of addresses. You can create as many proxy lists as you need, using any GEO location and any rotation strategy. 💻 There’s no need to estimate in advance whether one thousand or ten thousand IP addresses will be enough for your task. On top of that, you won’t end up paying for addresses that you never actually use. 🔒 At the same time, you’re free to stick to a single IP address if that’s what your task requires by using the Sticky rotation strategy.

How to Stop Constantly Looking for Traffic Lights in Google CAPTCHAs? 🔍 When scraping Google search results, you'll often run into Google reCAPTCHA — a protection system that may question whether you're a real person and throw a few verification challenges your way. To be fair, reCAPTCHA isn't limited to Google services; it's one of the most widely used anti-bot systems on the internet. 🚦 The reason it keeps asking you to find cars, motorcycles, and fire hydrants is that it doesn't fully trust your traffic. reCAPTCHA analyzes various signals and makes a decision based on them. One of the factors it pays attention to is the IP address you're sending requests from. If that IP has previously been used for automation or other large-scale activity, Google may assume it's being used for similar purposes again. 🔏 These kinds of IPs often come from data centers, which are frequently subject to additional scrutiny and restrictions. Residential proxies are a different story. They use IP addresses assigned to regular internet users, making the traffic appear more natural to reCAPTCHA. As a result, Google's protection systems — and other anti-bot solutions as well — are far less likely to require additional verification.

Update: Proxy Checker Is Now Available on the Website 🔍 You can now check whether your proxies are working directly on our website. 📝Simply open the "Proxy Checker" section in the left-hand sidebar menu. In the window that appears, you can paste up to 100 proxies in any of the supported formats. The checker will test each proxy and show which ones are working and which are not responding. In addition, the proxy lists section now includes the ability to check a random proxy from any selected list.

Working with Proxy Lists and Export Settings Before you can start using residential proxies, you need to create a proxy list. If you're using our website, go to the "Proxies" section and click the "Create" button in the "Proxy Groups" column. If you're using our bot, open the main menu, select "Proxy Lists", and then choose either "Create List" or "Create Multiple Lists" if needed. 📋Next, you'll need to choose: • A name for the list • The number of sheets (1 sheet = 1,000 IP addresses). You can create up to 20 sheets at once • A GEO location. Choose from 195+ locations. On the website, simply select a location from the list. In the bot, locations are specified using a two-letter country code (for example: RU, KZ, DE). • A rotation strategy: time-based, per-request, or sticky. 🔧After that, you can export the proxy list in any format that suits your needs: • Choose a protocol: HTTP or SOCKS5. It's important to understand that our proxies support both protocols simultaneously. This option exists only because some programs require a specific protocol format. • Export format. Most applications work perfectly with proxies formatted as {user}:{pass}@{host}:{port} or {user}:{pass}:{host}:{port}. However, if necessary, the format can be fully customized to meet the requirements of a specific application. 📥 Once the export settings are configured, you can download the list as a .txt file.

How IP Rotation Works and When You Need It IP rotation switches your IP to the next proxy from the list whenever needed. There are three rotation strategies available: per-request, time-based, and sticky. 🎉 With the first strategy, the proxy changes after every new request. With the second, the IP changes at a specified interval. You choose the interval yourself — anywhere from 1 second to 1 hour. With the sticky strategy, the address does not change and remains attached to the same IP for as long as possible. 🌐 Rotation helps distribute activity across multiple IP addresses. As a result, websites are much less likely to treat your requests as suspicious activity. This makes it especially useful when sending a large number of similar requests to the same resource, such as web scraping, price monitoring, search query analysis, and similar tasks. ⚙️ Setting up rotation is incredibly simple. On our website, just select the option you need when creating a new proxy list. In the bot, the process is similar, except the strategy is selected by specifying a time value: entering "-1" enables the sticky strategy, entering "0" enables per-request rotation. Values from "1" to "3600" select the time-based strategy and define the IP rotation interval in seconds.

How Our Proxies Help Reduce Cloudflare Checks 💬 According to some sources, Cloudflare protection systems are used by around 20% of all websites. This means that when visiting roughly every fifth website, you may potentially encounter a "Verify you are human" check. ☁️ Cloudflare analyzes a user's network traffic, behavior on the website, browser fingerprint, and other signals before deciding whether to grant access immediately or require additional verification. 🌐 One of the most important factors Cloudflare considers is the IP address. If an IP belongs to a data center, there's a good chance it has previously been used for automation. As a result, Cloudflare may trust it less and be more likely to present a CAPTCHA challenge. Residential proxies are an excellent solution to this issue. Each IP address belongs to a real user, which means Cloudflare and other anti-bot systems generally view such traffic as more trustworthy and are far less likely to ask you to "verify that you are human."

What Are the Advantages of Residential Proxies? ⌨️ Residential proxies use real IP addresses assigned to actual users. To the website you're visiting, traffic coming through a residential proxy looks the same as if the request were sent from a regular computer or smartphone connected to a home network. 🖥 Data center IP addresses are often used for automation, which is why they tend to attract extra attention from anti-bot systems. Residential proxy IPs, on the other hand, are much less likely to encounter CAPTCHAs, blocks, and other restrictions. That's why residential proxies are ideal for tasks where it's important to appear as a real user and avoid additional verification checks from websites.

HTTP or SOCKS5 — Which One Should You Choose? Our proxies support both protocols simultaneously. There is no need to use different ports or different proxies for HTTP and SOCKS5. Whichever protocol your application uses for the connection is the protocol the proxy will work with. 📄 When exporting a proxy list from our website, you can still choose between the “http://” and “socks5://” formats. These are simply prefixes required by some applications (for example, they help the software immediately identify which protocol you want to use). They do not affect how the proxies themselves operate — the proxies will work in either mode regardless. However, if the software you’re using allows you to choose a protocol, here are the key differences: 💊 SOCKS5 proxies are far more versatile. This protocol supports a wider range of network connections and is suitable for more use cases. Whenever possible, use SOCKS5 — it’s usually the safest choice. 💊 HTTP proxies should be used when SOCKS5 is not suitable for your specific task. For example, if you’re working with software that only supports HTTP proxies. Node Proxy — link in our bio #proxy #http #socks5

What Are Sticky Sessions? 📌If your IP address changes frequently during a session on the same website, the platform may start to see that as suspicious behavior. After all, a real user is unlikely to switch IP addresses every few seconds. That’s exactly what sticky sessions are for. With a sticky session, you essentially “stick” to the same IP address for an extended period of time. The IP doesn’t change with every new request and will be retained for as long as possible — up to 24 hours. So, if your tasks require staying logged into a website with the same account, sticky sessions are the way to go. Otherwise, you can use request-based or time-based rotation strategies. ✅ Enabling sticky sessions is very easy. When creating a new proxy list on our website, simply select the “Sticky” rotation strategy. If you’re using a tg-bot, set the rotation time to “-1”. 🌐 Try best residential proxy on the whole planet — Link in bio
