Five questions to narrow down the proxy type your job actually calls for, then the providers matched on recorded evidence for that use.
A large pool of consumer IPs, changing per request. The default for collecting data at volume from sites that push back.
8 matched providersThe cheapest and fastest option, and enough for targets that do not scrutinise where traffic comes from.
8 matched providersDatacentre speed with consumer ownership, held for as long as you need it. What you want when an identity has to keep one address.
8 matched providersCarrier IPs shared with real handset traffic. The most trusted and the most expensive, and what mobile-first platforms expect.
8 matched providersSomeone else owns the retries, rotation and unblocking. Costs more per request and removes most of the work.
8 matched providersThe quiz narrows down a proxy type, then hands you the providers matched on recorded evidence for that job. It does not rank by commission, and answering differently changes the recommendation because the criteria change — not because a different advertiser is due a turn.
Most people arrive at this decision with the wrong question — “which proxy is best?” — when the useful question is which kind of address the job needs. A rotating residential pool and a static ISP address are not competitors; they solve different problems, and buying the wrong one costs far more than picking the second-best provider within the right category.
So the quiz asks about the job, about whether anything has actually blocked you, about whether an identity needs to keep one address, about volume, and about whether you want to own the retry logic. Those five answers settle the type. The provider list that follows comes from the same evidence-driven matching the rest of the site uses.
It will not tell you a single winner. It narrows the field to a type and hands you the providers whose own recorded specifications fit, ordered by how well they match and how much of their data is documented. Which of those you pick is a judgement about budget and support that a quiz has no business making for you.
