FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using proxies from South Africa.

What is a proxy?

A proxy server sits between your computer and the internet, routing your traffic through a different IP address. Proxies - whether residential proxies, datacenter proxies, or mobile proxies - mask your real location and help you access geo-restricted content, avoid blocks, and automate web scraping.

What do I get by buying?

You get access to our pool of millions of residential, datacenter, and mobile proxy IPs. When you connect, we assign you a new IP per request (rotating proxies) or keep the same IP for your session (sticky proxies). You choose the location - country, city, or carrier - and we handle the rest.

What types of proxies do you support?

We offer residential proxies, datacenter proxies, and mobile proxies. All support HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols. You can access HTTP and HTTPS websites through our proxies. Connect via username:password or IP whitelist.

Almost all sites, except some that are blocked because they are known to be targets of fraudulent attacks. Contact us to get the list.
