About Proxy Index.

Proxy Index is a quarterly benchmark publication for buyers of residential, mobile and datacenter proxy services. We measure, we publish the methodology, and we disclose the caveats. We do not take provider funding.

Quick facts
  • Benchmarking since May 2026
  • 12 issues published
  • 0 provider sponsorships
  • Every issue is public in full

How we're funded

Proxy Index is independent and self-funded. No provider advertises, sponsors, or pays for placement, and we run no affiliate links. We buy the plans we test on the open market, like any other buyer, and take no gifts of credit or access from providers.

Editorial independence

No provider receives advance access to a benchmark issue or to its own score before publication. Any correction made after an issue goes out is handled in the open, with the change noted.

What we don't do

Provider reviews are published only inside the benchmark framework, scored against the same public methodology as every other line — there are no standalone endorsements or "best of" lists. No sponsored placements, no affiliate links, no referral program.

UpdatesEvery issue is published here in full — raw response logs and check timestamps included. Email updates are coming; there's no mailing list to join yet.

The work is in the methodology and the receipts.

Independence only counts if the evidence is public. Read how every score is built, then check it against the latest published issue.
