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.
Been using Databay for a few weeks and I'm real impressed so far. The mobile proxies tackle even the toughest sites to scrape, and it's priced better than other providers I tested. Support replies fast too for any questions or issues. Databay is an essential part of my tech stack.
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.
I have to say it pleasantly surprised me. What I like most is that the proxies rotate with every request. The geolocation isn't always perfectly precise, but I tested it with HttpClient and overall the experience has been good.
An elite (high-anonymity) proxy sends your request carrying nothing that identifies it as proxied: no Via header, no X-Forwarded-For, no Forwarded. The destination sees a TCP connection from the proxy's address and headers that could have come from any ordinary browser at that address. That is header-level anonymity, and it is exactly what "elite" promises, nothing more. The destination can still evaluate the exit IP itself (hosting ASN, shared-abuse history, reputation lists) and can still fingerprint your TLS stack and browser; elite removes one class of signal, the loudest one. Choose elite when proxy disclosure would change the response: price-comparison targets that alter numbers for detected proxies, ad-verification work, competitive research where a Via header gets you served a sanitized page. One structural note: SOCKS proxies classify elite by construction, since the SOCKS protocol carries no HTTP headers to leak, which is why this filter is consistently the deepest of the three anonymity tiers. Compare the anonymous and transparent tiers, or open the full free proxy list.
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.
