squidproxies problems lately?

semilar said:
I'm having problems as well. I had trouble with some seo tools using these proxies but I blamed it on the software, but today I used the proxies for surfing, and I get timeouts, no connection to google, ezine tells me that I am abusing their website and need to verify that I am not a bot... there is definitely going some stuff on here. In addition their network graph is not reliable, it shows only aprox 40% traffic for most of their servers, while its slow as hell for me. totally unreliable, speed and no private proxies... I have to switch :(

any reliable and affordable alternatives?

I can help you out with affordable proxies, but they won't work with Twitter. They are shared, but only with 15 users max (avg. is 10 or less). Most of my users are running SB or XR without issues.

I just missed to cancel as my rebill said 22. but was billed today. So i guess ill cancel after this month if you guys get better success rates with other providers. I just chose them because of the price $36 for 25 proxies but I guess you get what you pay for.
 
The problem with squidproxies.com is that they have the same ips since 1 year and they Ips are banned almost everywhere
 
I shall definitely be cancelling my subscription. I got 10 proxies, I've had to change them 3 times and they're currently down. In fact, they're down pretty much every night around this time - very frustrating as I want to leave SB to do some tasks overnight. Oh well, only 2 more weeks with them... It's a shame, when they work they work great!
 
Hi all! Squid proxies owner here.

I'd like to get an understanding of the specific issues you guys have been experiencing and see if we can fix these things. If you get a chance, I strongly recommend that you guys file a ticket with support with the details of (a) what your main purpose for the proxy are and (b) the issue you are experiencing. If possible, include screenshots of your manual tests in browsers. Include as much detail as possible.

We have a lot of experience debugging connection issues, banned IP issues, authentication issues, threading issues, etc. And in the vast majority of cases, with some help from you, we are able to help identify the root cause. In the cases where we cannot solve this root cause, we usually offer a full refund of your last payment.
 
im curious .. they say they change the ips monthly if you need right? .. so what do they do with the rejects? trash them or give them to someone else?

i ask cause i was thinking of the 10 or 25 pack but i was worried about getting some recycled ones and getting accounts banned...?

just curious

No, we don't trash them (and any provider that says they do is lying). When you request new IP addresses, you may be getting IPs that someone else has used before, though we do our best to track what purpose they have been used for. For example, a proxy banned from ticketmaster can still access twitter, CL, google, etc., and most bans expire after a certain time.

We are confident that we have enough ranges that we always have some range that works for your purpose, which is why we offer a money back guarantee-- if we can't find proxies that work for you, we don't make money from you.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I have not had any issues but I just use tools and do not surf. But it has 0 issues when I use my mail check program to auto log and click the email in gmail and hotmail and there has been no issues.

But this is GOOD to know that the owner is willing to make sure his service works as good as he says!

I have used a LOT of proxy services over the past 8 years and most turn into garbage, but this has not been the case with them.

Thanks for the compliments! :) Appreciate it.

If (when) they are down again this evening I shall screenshot SB results, browser results and whatever else I can think of it. Thanks for your seeming willingness to fix these issues...
 
@faster yeah I just ordered a test run with a 10 pack of test proxies and none of them worked :(

Just put in a support ticket and I'm waiting to hear back from you guys.

My apologies for the inconvenience. What's your ticket number?
 
I have been using a pack of 25 private proxies for a few days on senuke, but havent touched them for at least 2 days, today i tried to create a few twitter accounts with these private proxies, i got the standard message

"Sorry.. but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now."

Aka, banned from recaptcha.net, i'm like hmm, that's weird, haven't used them for 2 days or so.

Then i bought a brand new pack of 100 private proxies 10 minutes ago now, guess what?

"Sorry.. but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now."

Tried to set the proxies manually in browser, same stuff, recaptcha image not showing....so blocked.

Never ever touched the pack of 100 private proxies yet all are banned from recaptcha.

Something smells.
 
never had a problem with them so far so good and issues ive had have been resolved fast but im not liking that they are recycled :(
 
I have also face the Blocked IP Issue.. After Registering with them I get 25 Proxies and Multiple Get Blocked at the 1st Check.. After 2 Days I receive new List and those have the Still Problem... Id the IP's can be share on Multiple Computer and IP's are usinging for Harvesting Google Band them.. I think they are Providing those IP to Multiple Customer.. Not Only One or Two...
 
they suck, always down or blocked. dying for a new provider
 
They Really Suck.... I have found a New One... it's Much Cheap than any Other Dedicated Private Proxy....
 
I've just canceled mine.. Out of 10 proxies only 3-4 are fast. The others almost always time out and they seem to get banned really quickly.

I've got scrapebox lists where I can get 60-70% success rate with public scraped proxies and yet achieve only about a 10% success rate with squid proxies.

Anyway, I'm now looking for an alternative provider.

Any suggestions?
 
Just a friendly reminder here from Squid proxies: if you're experiencing problems with
our service, I strongly recommend opening a support ticket with details about your
problem (error message, screenshots of testing manually in a browser, and list of
websites you need access to). If you are willing to work with us to debug the problem
(e.g., sending screenshots and trying proxies from a few different ranges), we are
more than willing to help. If we're not able to solve your problem after understanding
it, then you qualify for a full refund of your last payment. Simple as that.
 
I will add a couple of comments here as I am one if the longer squid proxy users here on the board. I have used them over a year and I will say that you get good and bad. First of all since this ownership group took over customer services has been top notch. I currently have a ticket in Ticket ID: 567490 and I know it will be resolved soon. I have had some DOA proxies and the issues have been resolved quickly. My biggest complaint is if 95 proxies are doing well and 5 are bad you can't in my experience just swap out those 5 you have to be issues a new set. At then end though these guys as you can see by there responses here are by far the best customer services and really are interested in the success of their users and good luck finding that out there outside of them I give a big thumbs up from a long term review.
