See what proxy users say about Databay's proxy infrastructure.
I tested many proxy providers, and none beat this one on quality and price. The datacenter pool has plenty of proxies and residential works flawlessly - I only use US proxies. Their support is the best I've ever had - their technical knowledge is strong, and they even helped me fix an issue that wasn't caused by their proxies.
Implementing Databay residential proxies was easy for me, thanks to their well-documented API docs. The standout feature was the support team - their quick response and effective assistance helped me resolve issues promptly.
The proxy success rate for scraping blew me away - it's really more than 96%. Databay delivers excellent service quality for business, and the price is much lower than other services. Definitely worth trying their residential proxies.
Being a proxy newbie I needed more help than most users. Their support runs through Discord and it's top-notch. They answer quick and truly seem committed to giving the best experience - usually a reply within a couple of hours. I never once felt like I had to wait.
Talking about prices, it's the ideal and safe choice for work. Quality is top-notch, and I can recommend Databay for its stability and work speed.
Been using Databay for a while now and I've got nothing but good things to say. The proxies run smooth, rarely drop, and setup was pretty easy. All in all, really happy with it and wouldn't hesitate to point others their way.
The dashboard is simple and easy to navigate, though it's missing a few proxy locations - adding more options would definitely make it better. Overall, I'd personally recommend it.
A dependable service for various online tasks. The IP rotates with each request. Would recommend.
Found them while looking for proxies. They're good and easy to use, and the support is nice. A bit slow for Brazil, but overall I recommend them for most uses.
A complete guide to proxy servers, protocols, use cases, and how to use them effectively.
A proxy server is an intermediary computer that sits between your device and the internet. When you send a request through a proxy, the proxy forwards it to the destination server using its own IP address. The destination server sees the proxy's IP, not yours.
This masks your real location, allows you to appear in a different country, and can bypass restrictions imposed by networks or websites. Free proxies work exactly the same way, the only difference is that they are operated by third parties and shared among many users simultaneously.
HTTP proxies handle standard web traffic and work well for basic browsing and data collection from HTTP websites. They operate at the application layer and can interpret web requests directly.
HTTPS proxies (also called SSL proxies) support encrypted connections. When you access a site over HTTPS through one of these proxies, the connection between your browser and the proxy is tunneled, so the proxy cannot read the encrypted payload. Use these for any site that requires a secure connection.
SOCKS4 proxies tunnel raw TCP at the transport layer with a minimal handshake. They do not support authentication, UDP, or remote DNS resolution, but they remain useful for legacy clients and cases where the simpler protocol is enough. SOCKS4a is a backwards-compatible extension that adds remote hostname resolution.
SOCKS5 proxies are the most versatile. They operate at a lower network layer and are protocol-agnostic, they can tunnel any TCP or UDP traffic including web, FTP, SMTP, and game traffic. SOCKS5 also supports authentication and IPv6. For anything beyond basic web browsing, SOCKS5 is the preferred choice.
For any production workload, price monitoring, ad verification, market research, or large-scale scraping, premium proxies are the only reliable option.
Most tools accept a proxy in the format host:port or host:port:username:password. Copy the IP and port from this list, then configure:
curl -x http://IP:PORT https://target.comimport requests
proxies = {"http": "http://IP:PORT"}
requests.get("https://target.com", proxies=proxies)Settings > Network > Proxy Configuration
Enter IP, Port, and select HTTP, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5For premium rotating proxies from Databay, the endpoint is gw.databay.co:8888 with your credentials using the format countryCode-XX:sessionId-YY.
An open look at how Databay discovers, probes and scores every entry in this list.
Every proxy on this page is an IP and port harvested from publicly known proxy sources and then put through a continuous verification loop. Fresh batches land on this page within seconds of being re-probed, and every candidate is re-verified on a rolling 5-minute window. Any proxy whose most recent check is older than 6 hours is dropped from this list entirely, stale entries never appear, regardless of how the upstream feed behaves.
For each probe we open a real connection, issue a lightweight HTTP request and a targeted HTTPS request, and measure the end-to-end round-trip. The result drives three public columns:
HTTPS support is reported in three states, full (valid certificate chain), loose (works only with SSL verification disabled), and unsupported (HTTP destinations only).
Dead proxies are not kept on the page to inflate the count: if an entry stops responding, it disappears on the next cycle. That is why the list size shifts throughout the day. Machine-readable copies of this dataset (with the same fields) are available at /api/v1/proxy-list in json, csv and plain-text formats.
Via or X-Forwarded-For. Transparent proxies forward your real IP address to the destination server, they provide no anonymity and are mainly used for caching. Dedicated lists: elite, anonymous and transparent.curl -x http://IP:PORT https://example.com. For Python, use requests.get(url, proxies={"http": "http://IP:PORT", "https": "http://IP:PORT"}). In your browser, go to Settings > Network > Proxy and enter the IP and Port. Proxies marked “HTTPS” work with secure websites. Proxies marked “HTTP” only work with non-secure (http://) websites, if a proxy doesn’t seem to work, check whether you’re connecting to an HTTPS site with an HTTP-only proxy.
