Changelog

What we shipped, improved and fixed, with the date it went live. We release most days, so this page moves.

    • New

      A guide to running Scrapy through Node4

      A new page covers what a Scrapy crawl actually turns on: how to tell whether your target accepts datacenter addresses before you pay for them, where proxy assignment belongs in the middleware chain, and when a paginated run needs to hold one address. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Your credentials are on screen the moment the page opens

      The connection card shows your proxy password straight away instead of behind a reveal, with a control to hide it while you are sharing a screen. Code examples now sit at the end of the page, so your credentials and your endpoint list come first.

    • Improved

      A clearer answer to who can reach your proxies

      The access card now names both ways in, then tells you which one the machine you are on is using. Refused connections are listed underneath, each with the reason it was turned away.

    • Improved

      Dedicated and rotating plans explain how each one is billed

      The dedicated datacenter page now leads with the fact that traffic on those plans is not metered, and the rotating page sets out why rotation is priced per gigabyte instead, so the cheaper plan for your workload is obvious before you buy. Take a look.

    • Improved

      One set of proxy credentials for the whole account

      Your proxy username and password now work across every proxy you hold, whatever mix of products that is. Rotate them once and every endpoint follows.

    • New

      A bigger monthly allowance on the free tier

      Free accounts now include 1 GB of bandwidth a month, up from the earlier allowance. Still no card on file and no countdown to a trial expiry. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Shared plans spell out how the pooled bandwidth works

      Shared bandwidth is pooled across the proxies on your plan rather than allotted per proxy, and the pricing page now says so with the figure you actually get. Take a look.

    • Fixed

      SOCKS5 is labeled everywhere it works

      The protocol column on your proxy list now names SOCKS5 on the gateway products as well as the dedicated ones, so you can see what an endpoint accepts without testing it.

    • New

      Free tools that answer the question before you buy

      A set of tools that need no account: replay a request that got blocked, see the fingerprint your client presents, size a plan against your own volumes, and one that will tell you when you do not need proxies at all. Take a look.

    • New

      A published OpenAPI description of the API

      The REST API now ships a machine-readable spec, so you can generate a client in your language instead of hand-writing one from the docs.

    • New

      SOCKS5 setup guides for aiohttp and axios

      Two popular clients will not take a SOCKS5 proxy URL on their own. Both now have a guide showing the package to add and the exact code that works. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Checkout says what you are buying

      The order summary now names the product, the billing term and any discount applied, before you hand off to a payment provider.

    • New

      Residential proxies are on sale again

      Residential plans are back in the catalog, served by rebuilt gateways with country selection and sticky sessions. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Your cart follows you across the dashboard

      An unfinished order now rides along on a bar at the foot of every dashboard page, so it stays one click from checkout instead of stranded on the page you left it.

    • Improved

      Products we cannot deliver say so up front

      A product that is withdrawn or out of stock now shows as temporarily unavailable in the catalog, rather than presenting a buy button that stops working at checkout. Take a look.

    • New

      Analytics is one readout with a range you choose

      Usage, spend and bandwidth by proxy type now sit on a single page, and the charts take a date range you pick rather than one window fixed for you.

    • New

      An authorization panel on the dashboard

      One place to see which IP addresses are allowed, which credential is live, and to restore access when a connection comes back refused.

    • Improved

      Higher contrast throughout the dashboard

      Buttons, links and status chips across the dashboard were re-toned for stronger contrast against their backgrounds, in both the light and the dark theme.

    • Improved

      Bandwidth alerts warn you before the cap

      Alerts fire as you approach your limit, in every billing period, so the first you hear of a heavy month is not a stopped scrape.

    • New

      A redesigned public site, navbar to footer

      New palette, a navbar built around five top-level destinations, and a home page whose hero panel draws from the live pool rather than stock photography. Take a look.

    • New

      A rebuilt dashboard

      Overview, proxies, plans, analytics and settings were redrawn around one control-room language, with a command palette on Ctrl+K and skeletons instead of spinners.

    • New

      Bandwidth runway on shared plans

      The dashboard projects how long the bandwidth left in your pool will last at the rate you are currently using it, so a busy week is visible before it becomes a stoppage.

    • Improved

      A support form worth filling in

      The ticket form now asks for what an answer actually needs, and suggests a matching help article while you type. Take a look.

    • New

      Automatic top-ups before you run out

      Set a threshold and an amount, and bandwidth is added when you approach the cap instead of after traffic has already stopped. The rate is derived from your own plan, not a flat pack price. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Every product repriced against real cost

      The whole ladder was rebuilt from what the underlying capacity costs, tier by tier, and every rung on it carries its price on the page instead of a form to fill in. Take a look.

    • New

      A proper library of guides

      The help center and the blog grew into a real reference: language-by-language setup, rotation and session behavior, and troubleshooting for the errors people actually hit. Take a look.

    • New

      A machine-readable summary of the site

      Assistants that read llms.txt now get an accurate description of the products and the guides, generated from the live corpus rather than typed once and forgotten.

    • New

      Plans and bandwidth add-ons share one cart

      Put a plan and any bandwidth add-ons in the same cart and settle the lot in one pass. PayPal takes either on its own, and Bitcoin takes them together. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Your plan choice survives sign-up

      Choose a plan while signed out and it is still waiting in your cart once the account is created, instead of dropping you on an empty dashboard.

    • New

      A welcome email that gets you connected

      New accounts get a message that points straight at the credentials, the endpoint and the first setup guide.

    • New

      Onboarding starts with a checklist

      New accounts land on a getting-started page that walks through verifying your email, claiming your free proxies and making the first request. Take a look.

    • Improved

      Closing an account does the whole job

      Closing an account now revokes proxy access and cancels auto-renewal at your payment provider in one step, so nothing keeps billing after you have gone.

    • New

      Usage broken down by proxy type and country

      Analytics now shows where your traffic went as well as how much of it there was, which is the view you need when one destination starts refusing you.

    • New

      A second plan of the same type now stacks

      Buying more of a product you already hold adds to what you have instead of being refused as a duplicate. Take a look.

    • Improved

      A plans page that recommends at most one thing

      The plans page reads your own usage and suggests a single change, and only when a real limit is binding. No wall of upsells. Take a look.

Try it on the free tier

Free proxies and a monthly bandwidth allowance, with no card on file. If you would rather read first, the help center has the setup guides and the free tools need no account at all.
