Scrapebox and YourPrivateProxy.com Question

It is unfortunate that you had a bad experience with Alex and private proxy. I however wanted to tell you that he is a very good guy who will go out of his way to help you out. When I had a problem with my proxies, he offered to help me with my computer with remote assistance. The problem was not even related to the proxies but he still offered to help.

I really doubt if you will get service like that anywhere. I completely believe him when he says that he wasn't at his computer for three days. I am sure you will be satisfied if you sign up for his service again.

As for the original post here, I guess you can sign up for 20 proxies and see how it goes. Worst case scenario would be that your burn out too quickly and get a 501 error message. It is only temporary when the proxies have too much abnormal activity. If it happens very frequently, sign up for the next package and spread out your posts and searches over more proxies to keep it smooth.

Stop wasting your money with YourPrivateProxy.Com. I am really disappointed with their service. I ordered the 10 proxies for SB, it took about a day to have my account active and be able to download my proxies from their so-called VIP section but their proxies aren't working with SB. I emailed the provider many times but I didn't get any respond.

After 3 days, I sent my last email and I told the guy that I am going to cancel my subscription and open a dispute on my order. Right after that he responded and explain how to save my IP in VIP section but I knew all those stuffs and they didn't work. I sent another email 3 days ago but still I haven't received any email back from that guy.

No, worst case scenario in this context is that your assigned proxies get burnt into the memory banks of aki$met (among others) and banned as spam sources. Once they're burnt like that they stay burnt for a long time.

No offence intended to any proxy provider, that's just the reality of proxies.

I'm another unhappy customer with YPP. Everything worked fine first 24hrs once I sorted out the IP thingie on their site. Now I keep getting 404's when testing in SB and no answers from support latest 24hrs...

How many blogs is a good amt to scrape per day...just to keep under the radar?

i highly recommend this service also...after i paid i received an automated email saying my account will be approved after 24 hours because of first payment and avoiding scamming payments unless we decide to approve your account earlier which i thought they wouldnt but a few hours later (1-3hrs) i was approved and started using the proxies immediately. Not all the proxies works however..but at least 80% works all the time and are fast.

@mikie66: did you go through their instructions on setting up the proxies? you needed to enable your own ip on your account for your proxies to work

Try to delete all the IPs that you have saved for authorization, then log out, log back in, and save your IP in the control panel. That should help. If not, ill be on the support in some hours, and will find the problem/solution for you.

If you have non-working proxies in Scrapebox you just have to write a mail to support, and we will replace them in some hours or a day max. Sadly there is no feature to see if the proxies are known by akismet.

My problem has been solved - and I'm back to happy again!

I hope this was a unusual glitch...

their support not replying to any question their proxies are not working
