We put proxy types, session models, geo targeting, and use cases side by side. Open any article for the full write-up.
Guide
Proxy Error Codes Guide: How to Fix 407, 403, 429, 502 and Timeouts
407 is about credentials, 403 and 429 are the target site's decision, and 502 and 504 are the path between the proxy and the target. Tie each error to the right layer and fix it with cURL and Python.
Guide
DNS Leak Guide: How to Close WebRTC, Header, and DNS Leaks
A DNS leak, a WebRTC candidate, or a header leak can expose the real address before the exit IP matters. Close the channel with socks5h, an ICE dump, and an echo test.
Guide
UDP Proxy Guide: SOCKS5 UDP Support for Speed and Real-Time Applications
HTTP proxies only build TCP tunnels. Games, VoIP, QUIC and UDP DNS need SOCKS5 UDP ASSOCIATE; we explain the flow, the NAT impact and how to test UDP through a proxy.
Guide
Organic Traffic Simulation with Hit Bots: The Key Is the Right Proxy Stack
The proxy layer decides whether hit bot sessions look consistent: IP type, geography, sticky sessions and browser settings. Setup, testing, bandwidth and risks in one guide.
Comparison
Residential, mobile, datacenter or ISP proxy: what is the difference?
We separate the four proxy types by IP source and ASN, compare them in one table and show step by step which type fits your target site.
Guide
Sticky vs rotating proxy: how to choose an IP model for your sessions?
A sticky proxy keeps the IP for the whole session, a rotating proxy changes it on every request. We explain which one fits which job, with a scenario table and a Python example.
Guide
What are proxies used for? SEO, scraping, ads, social media and gaming
Proxy type, sticky or rotating session, the most common failure and the metric to track for six use cases, with one summary table.
Guide
Proxy geo-targeting: how to target by country, city and ASN in TR, the EU and the US
What country, city and ASN targeting select, why geo databases disagree, and how to align your exit location with timezone, language and DNS.
Comparison
What is an ISP proxy and how is it different from a datacenter proxy?
An ISP proxy offers a static IP registered to a consumer ISP's ASN at datacenter speed. We separate the two types by ASN check, use cases and cost model.
Comparison
Residential vs Datacenter Proxy: How to Choose by Target Site
How sites detect datacenter IPs, how to compare cost per successful request, and a decision table by target type: datacenter first, residential when needed.
Comparison
Mobile vs Residential Proxy: Which One Fits Which Job?
We compare mobile and residential proxies by trust level, rotation, latency and cost model, and show which to pick for social media, app testing, scraping and SEO.
Comparison
HTTP or SOCKS5: how do you choose a proxy protocol?
We compare HTTP proxies and SOCKS5 at the wire level: the CONNECT tunnel, the SOCKS5 handshake, DNS, UDP, headers, performance and tool support.
Comparison
IPv4 or IPv6 proxy? Address space, cost and compatibility
IPv6 proxies offer a vast address space and quota-free plans but only work on targets with an AAAA record. Decide with a dig check and a success-rate test.
