In their own words
HProxy
HProxy provides residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile proxies, as well as web scraper APIs. Its homepage states that its network includes more than 30 million IPs. Proxy products use a shared prepaid balance rather than a subscription, and the balance does not expire. Its scraper API returns structured JSON from a REST call and includes proxies, retries, and parsing. Free tools—a public proxy list, proxy checker, and IP lookup—are available without an account. Setup guides cover Python Requests, cURL, Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, Scrapy, Axios, browser extensions, and profile managers. Supported protocols are HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5. Listed prices include IPv6 proxies at $0.10 a month, IPv4 at $1.34 a month, Residential Lite at $0.50 a month, and rotating ISP proxies at $0.65 a month. Mobile proxies have a 1 GB minimum; web scrapers are billed per successful call from the prepaid balance. HProxy describes scraping, market research, and ad verification as use cases and prohibits activities including unauthorized access, payment fraud, and denial-of-service activity. It says its team replies the same day.
