How to choose a proxy, advantages and disadvantages of types

There are several types of proxies:

IPv4 is the first widely used version supported by any site, service and program. Has a worldwide quantity limit. Good price, stability and high level of anonymity. With illegitimate actions, it is easy to get a block on an entire subnet or even a network that owns an IP.

IPv6, a new type of proxy that will eventually replace IPv4, is not supported by every site or program. You need to check this before buying. Low cost and anonymity. Services are skeptical about this type of proxy, so they can often automatically block access from this type of IP for some period.

Mobile proxies are a kind of residential proxies, the same as IPv4, except that any site, service or program identifies as a real live user, because IP is assigned to real mobile operators and they simply cannot resort to any type of blocking. The same IPs are used by real users, in a certain country and by a mobile operator. Compared with the previous types, they have a high cost, stable operation and high anonymity. The peculiarity of this type is that with each reboot of the device / time or request via a link, the ip changes, that is, by buying only 1 IP, you will have a whole pool of a mobile operator at your disposal. When buying such proxies, you should not restart your phone or computer, this is done automatically by the system once in the nth time or when accessing the link (selection of rotation when purchasing).

All types support HTTP(s) and Socks protocols.

 

Recommendations:

Depending on the scope of the proxy, social networks, bookmakers, crypto-exchanges or price parsing - 1 account > 1 IP. This is the easiest thing to “catch”, because it is strange to perform automatic actions with several profiles under one IP.

The proxy location must match the profile used wherever it is used. This guarantees, first of all, a long life of the profile.

Any service, site or program easily identifies a large number of requests from one IP for a certain period of time. Use fine-tuning of threads and timeouts, this will allow you to emulate the actions of a “human” as much as possible.

In the case of using a proxy in the browser, do not be too lazy to create a profile in the browser for each individual browser, before setting it, the cache and cookies must be cleared, the form autofill must be removed.

If you are using a proxy, such as proxifier, set each proxy to a separate rule. 1 IP - 1 rule for 1 application.

Let's summarize

Based on the information above, you should define several criteria for yourself:

 

from under which geographical point the work will be performed;

The required number, based on the amount of work being done (number of simultaneous threads, process timeout);

budget for a proxy server, not always what is cheaper is better.
