Hi,

We use Bright Data proxies and have been for some time now. Some months back, we detected a leak when testing it via browserleaks.com, but they resolved it after a few weeks. Now, the issue is back again. We reached out to support, and they said that they rate-limit external IP lookup websites, meaning that all of these types of websites will show leaks if your proxies are visiting the site more than a few times. They showed us the logs, and the error message actually shows "Requests rate to browserleaks.com is too high". So having said this - how do we know the proxies do not leak on other websites since we cannot really test them? They gave us access to all of my logs from recent days, but we're still concerned.

Any info or light you can shed on this situation is greatly appreciated!

i guess if you setup your own hardware and create your own proxy servers, you will get the best quality of proxies and it will be almost half cost for you.
 
Switching to socks is probably a good idea but yeah it's a good bet to think these browser leak websites are honey pots themselves as most of the people using the sites are using proxies
