I've seen these newbie accounts here talking how good the smartproxy is (fake feedback by the company probably) but I decided to give it a shot today with their smallest plan.

The support told me over chat that their proxies are undetectable, thus Elite Anonymous Proxies and as soon as I paid the plan and ran a few tests then all the sites detected these proxies as transparent proxies and far from "Elite" as they advertise.

The proxies are passing identifying headers : X-Forwarded-For

How many of you non-newbie accounts here are actually using Smartproxy as their service provider? I'm pretty pissed to be honest.. When I took the issue to the support and told them that you just said to me that these proxies are undetectable, why are all the tests picking it up as transparent proxy? They just doubled down and told me to put their proxies to test... Yeah I will test your proxies with risking to lose all my work.

Any feedback? Advice? Good provider for Elite proxies who actually sells them?

Thanks.
 
It's very difficult to find a good proxy provider nowedays,also faking stuff is done by a lot of companies here.

It really is pissing lol why newbies fall for these shit services which are useless and a total waste of money.

It's not like newbies are falling for this. It's that the company has created these newbie accounts to promote their services here. I reported some but there are clearly more accounts doing this.
 
X-Forwarded-For is a big oof jesus christ. How are they even comfortable selling that

They are such fucking clowns..

Hey report these accounts/ posts please and we'll look into this and if this is the case, remove the shills and take action against the sellers, if this is proven.

How can it be proved if the newbie accounts are promoting or faking stuff?

Probably this question was asked by you itself that there is no proof about this?

Oh my. I hope that's just a random support guy that's trying his best (even though he should just redirect you to someone more knowledgeable).

Man thats embarrassing though...
 
I tested smartproxy last year, as I was considering migrating from my usual proxy provider.

I was thoroughly disappointed. The network was slow and most of the IPs could not access my target site.

The discussion above.... support staff doesn't know 'terminology' of HTTP headers? Wow. That's the backbone of your business! Terrible.

They knew perfectly well. I had another discussion with the support before I paid for their services but unfortunately it was deleted few hours later.

They knew whats up and that they sell crap but he just didn't want to talk about it anymore. Can't find a decent proxy provider without going through all the last pages on bing and Google :D

Yeah I feel your pain! I try to buy my proxies from BHW but even the Proxies for Sale forum is super saturated. It's kind of a nightmare sorting through all the different service offerings, especially as each one has slightly different capabilities+pricing structure so it's difficult to make apples to apples comparisons. I got lazy and just posted what I need in WTB forum, so maybe try that :)
