Buying proxies shouldn’t feel like gambling
We buy proxies, load real sites like Amazon and Google through them, and let you know how each one did.

All ISP results →Recently reviewed by us
Unreliable on most sites. About 3 in 4 Amazon and Walmart pages loaded and half of Instagram, and some of its IPs have been down every day since Oct 11.
Good for Walmart and Instagram, where it got through about as often as a normal home connection. Zillow loaded about half the time, and Google blocked every visit.
How we test
We run the same checks on every provider. In the last 30 days that was 10,149 page loads on real sites and 135,514 uptime checks across 75 IPs under test.

We also load every page from my normal home connection. A visit counts against the proxy only when the home connection loaded the page. If home was blocked too, the visit is left out.
Home loaded the real page, so the block counts against the proxy.

Each site through the proxy, Oct 8 to Nov 6. We load every site from a normal home connection too. On days it was blocked, the proxy’s visits don’t count.

Why I made this site
I kept buying proxies that looked great on the sales page and would fail when I actually used them at scale. I want to save you the pain that I went through, so now I've created this system to check every provider out there and tell you what works. Every result has my honest metrics associated with it. If anything looks wrong, email me and I'll take a look!
I pay the listed price with my own account.
