How to Buy Proxies: Compare Residential, Datacenter & Mobile

# Mobile:      zone-mobile

# Switch network instantly - same code:
# proxies = {'http': f'http://{username}-zone-datacenter:{password}@{proxy}', ...}
# proxies = {'http': f'http://{username}-zone-mobile:{password}@{proxy}', ...}

# Residential proxy
curl -x "http://USER-zone-residential:PASS@gw.databay.co:8888" \
     "https://example.com"

# Datacenter proxy - swap zone only
curl -x "http://USER-zone-datacenter:PASS@gw.databay.co:8888" \
     "https://example.com"

# Mobile proxy - same endpoint, different zone
curl -x "http://USER-zone-mobile:PASS@gw.databay.co:8888" \
     "https://example.com"

# Geo-targeting: add -countryCode-us to any zone
curl -x "http://USER-zone-residential-countryCode-us:PASS@gw.databay.co:8888" \
