Scraping Tools: These include tools like Scrapebox, Octoparse, Import.io, and ParseHub. Proxies are often used in web scraping to avoid IP blocking or bans from the target sites.
SEO Tools: Tools like SEMRush, Ahrefs, or Moz may require proxies to run multiple queries in a short period without getting flagged or banned.
Social Media Bots: Tools that manage multiple social media accounts, such as Jarvee or Followliker, often require proxies to avoid triggering anti-spam measures.
Ad Verification Tools: Services like GeoEdge or PubMatic use proxies to verify ads' correct display in different regions.
E-Commerce Bots: Tools for automated shopping or price comparison like Sneaker bots (ANB AIO, Nike Shoe Bot) or price scrapers need proxies to bypass rate limits and regional restrictions.
Market Research Tools: Services like NetBase or Brandwatch use proxies to gather global insights without geographical bias.
VPN Services: While not a tool per se, VPN services like NordVPN or ExpressVPN use server proxies to route traffic and provide anonymity and location spoofing.
Email verification tools: Services like Hunter.io, Snov.io or Voila Norbert may require proxies for high volume email validation.
