Hello,

I'm searching for a good proxy for mass account registration. I started with PacketStream.io and sticky IPs (each thread needs a stable IP until the account registration is finished). It works fine but due the high traffic (you pay per GB) it's getting very expensive. Actual 60-70% accounts are working, 30-40% are getting flagged.

I already tested a few providers but with the most proxy providers my accounts are getting flagged (90-100%). I also tested a 4G proxy but with 5min rotation and my registration process takes only 1-2 minutes.

Proxy Providers I already tested:
PacketStream.io (30-40% flagged)
RSocks 1000 Datacenter IPs (95% flagged)
RSocks Rotating Proxy Package (95% flagged)
RSocks Mobile Proxy (rate limited and rotation too slow).
Proxy-Spider Rotating Proxies (99% flagged)
Proxy-Spider Pubic Proxies 2000pcs (50% flagged - but very slow, 50 accounts vs 500 accounts per hour)
Storm Proxies Backconnect Rotating Proxies (98% flagged)
Geonode Residential Proxies (99% flagged)
Webshare.io - Mixed Proxies (80% flagged)

So currently I'm thinking about to test some more expensive providers like:
Shifter.io - Basic or Special Backconnect Proxies (has min. 5min rotation but I would by 100 threads and just run with 25 threads)
Proxyrack.com - Residential Proxies with Sticky IPs
Privateproxy.me - Residential or Backconnect Proxies (paid by requests)

Or would you recommend a mobile proxy provider with multiple ports/threads?

Thanks for your help!
 
I tested shifter.io, their pool was much smaller than advertised. The speed was also very slow.
Stormproxies (residentials) : very very bad quality
I went with smartproxy. They're expensive but they're clean, the proxy pools are large and their speed is good.

Yeah, I checked them also but they have GB traffic plans. Currently I'm testing a service where I bought 15.000 proxies. It's slow but actually with a 50% flagged rate.
That's not bad. So maybe I would just run more threads to speed up.

how do u check for flagged rate?
 
It all depends on your budget and scope of work, in my opinion 4G mobile dedicated proxies are the best for my scope of work. Take into consideration also the internet provider and the location. See in the proxies for sale section the options available. Best of luck!

Thanks for your reply. I already considered to take mobile proxies. But the most one is 1 proxy = 1 thread? And IP rotation is often min. 5min. Ich have 100 Threads and would need 250 different IPs at the same time.

He’s been in the business since before I even knew what IM was. He’d be your best bet to ask.

@PHPInjected to be fair i got into I.M. late by today's standards
im just turned 52 and i started into I.M proxys and proxysites in 2003
i would have been 33, and i retired selling my own proxys in 2019 at 49
now i just hang around like a bumb, offering tips / advice
 
Guys, what do you think of these rotating proxiews that you mention, for use in submit forms with GSA website contact?
I need rotating proxies, because when I use private proxies, after making 400 submissions the antispam servers block me and my submit forms are no longer sent... (I've checked several times). But I need to make sure the best proxiews for this action... thanks!
 
When selecting a proxy provider, it's crucial to assess various factors like reliability, speed, location coverage, and customer support to ensure you choose the best fit for your needs.

Here are a few reputable proxy providers worth considering:

Luminati: Renowned for its extensive proxy network and high reliability, making it suitable for various use cases.
Smartproxy: Offers both residential and data center proxies with excellent performance and geographical coverage.
ProxyRack: Provides a diverse range of proxy types, including residential, data center, and rotating proxies, catering to different requirements.
Storm Proxies: Specializes in rotating residential proxies, ideal for tasks requiring frequent IP changes at affordable rates.
Proxy-Cheap: Known for its flexibility with residential and data center proxies, offering customizable pricing plans to suit different budgets and needs.
Carefully evaluate these providers based on your specific requirements and preferences to make an informed decision.
 
Mobile proxies are usually said to have many threads but each thread will still lead to the same IP. IP is changed only after rotation. Technically it's possible to have a mobile proxy that has many threads and each thread will have its own unique IP but these mobile proxies would cost a fortune and would be billed by GB used.

I believe these proxies are beaten badly by bot owners that create accs so these mobile proxy IP pool need some time to recover. That's why it's best to buy mobile proxies from providers that have small proxy farms spread across large cities, this way IP quality is much better and if the IP pool becomes too saturated and quantity falls u can ask the provider to change your city/isp or even just different proxy farm from the same city.

On the other hand mobile IPs are much more resistant to getting dirty compared to residential so even if the provider gets a high flag rate for accs it could be temporary and after a week or two things might become better or maybe there is a problem with your registration setup and somehow it's leaking something.
