Proxies
HTTP and SOCKS5 you bring yourself. Exits, leaks, sticky time, and the clock that has to follow.

What we refuse to log about proxies
Credentials live in encrypted profiles.json. This page lists what we refuse to log about your exits, because a local tool should not become a proxy diary.

What residential proxies are
A definition of residential exits, without a provider top-10. Learn what the label claims, what a pool actually is, and why we will not sell you the line.
2026-08-08 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
What proxies are
A beginner definition of a proxy as an exit, not a fingerprint tool. Keep provider upsells out. The how-to for attaching one lives on the sibling page.
2026-08-05 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
What mobile proxies are
Mobile proxies are carrier exits, 4G and 5G included. One definition page, not a provider list. Desktop browsers can use them. That does not make a phone.

Sticky sessions and why they matter
Sticky sessions keep a login on one exit. This page covers residential sticky time for rooms that need continuity. A second sticky URL is not required.

SOCKS5 versus HTTP proxies
Product parses http, https, and socks5. This comparison is protocol behavior, not a SOCKS5 vendor list. Pick the handshake that matches the line you bought.
2026-07-28 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Shared residential subnets
Shared subnets mean you inherit neighbors. This adjacent note covers tired residential space, a topic their blogs skip because it makes the pool look worse.
2026-07-24 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Rotating proxies break logins
A rotating exit breaks cookies that expected one address. This is hygiene for authorized logins, not a tip for surviving a ban you earned. Authorized work only.
2026-07-21 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Residential proxies versus a VPN
A residential exit is not a VPN app, and a VPN is not a residential pool. Distinct from antidetect-versus-VPN. This page compares exit types only.
2026-07-18 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Residential versus datacenter proxies
Refresh the comparison without a vendor table. Residential looks like a household. Datacenter looks like a machine. Pick for the job, not for a blog rank.
2026-07-15 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Residential proxy ethics
Consent matters. Malware-kit exits exist. This ethics page covers what their residential blogs skip, because a cheap pool is not automatically a clean pool.
2026-07-13 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
We do not sell residential proxies
They sell or rank providers. We do not broker traffic. This commercial query gets a refusal and a pointer to evaluation criteria, not a checkout link.

A new exit does not clean an old cookie jar
A new exit does not clean an old cookie jar. They treat this as warmup. We treat it as hygiene. Swap the line and the room still remembers the last site.
2026-07-07 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Proxy username and password formats
host:port:user:pass and URL forms, plus HTTP auth versus a SOCKS5 handshake. A formats page so the line you bought actually attaches to the room.
2026-07-03 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Mobile versus residential proxies
Carrier versus household-looking exits. Distinct from ISP versus residential. Pick the exit type for the job, and keep the desktop browser honest.
2026-07-01 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Mobile proxy versus cloud phone
A carrier exit on your desktop is not a rented Android. This comparison keeps mobile proxies apart from cloud phones. We will not review the phone farms.
2026-06-27 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
A mobile ASN on a desktop browser
A mobile ASN on a desktop UA is a coherence problem. Product is desktop only. This page explains the mismatch so a carrier exit is not treated as a phone.
2026-06-24 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
ISP proxies versus residential proxies
ISP versus residential is a different cut than residential versus datacenter. Use this page for ASN-assigned lines versus household-looking pools.
2026-06-22 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
What ISP proxies are
ISP proxies are assigned to a provider ASN, not a random household. A definition page, not a top-10 list, for operators attaching a line to a local room.
2026-06-19 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
IPv6 leaks we still see
IPv6 still leaks on Windows setups that only wrapped IPv4. This page covers the paths we still see, without pretending every leak is a WebRTC story.
2026-06-16 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
HTTPS proxies versus an HTTP forwarder
Product parses https as an HTTP forwarder. TLS-to-proxy is not implemented. This honesty page stops an https:// proxy URL from being sold as end-to-end TLS.
2026-06-13 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
How websites detect proxies
Mechanism, not a hide-the-proxy guide. Learn the signals sites use to label an exit, then decide whether that line still fits authorized work.
2026-06-12 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
How to use a proxy server in a profile
Per-profile proxy setup, not a system-wide Windows change. Learn the fields, the check, and why the exit belongs to one room instead of the whole PC.

How to test a residential exit
Exit, ASN, sticky time, and leak checks. Product geo check is TCP plus ip-api. This how-to is how you verify the line before a login, not how you hide it.
2026-06-09 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
How to evaluate a proxy provider
Replaces ten vendor reviews. Evaluation criteria only: sticky time, protocol, logs, and ethics. We will not rank a top-10 you can checkout through us.
2026-06-07 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Match the fingerprint to the exit geo
Geo, timezone, and language should follow the exit. Product does this on start. This how-to is alignment, not a hide-the-mismatch guide. Authorized work only.
2026-06-04 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Free proxy lists are a trap
Free lists are someone else's traffic, already burned. This commercial query gets a warning, not a scraped listicle of open ports. Local Windows notes only.
2026-06-03 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
DNS leaks on Windows with a proxy
Windows resolvers and IPv6 adjacent paths can skip the proxy. The definition lives on the fingerprinting sibling. This page is the Windows how-to.
2026-06-02 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Check the exit IP before launch
Check the exit before you open work. Product uses ip-api.com for that lookup. This is a short operational habit, not a 2019 vendor review. Authorized work only.

Carrier-grade NAT and shared exits
CGNAT means many subscribers share an address. This adjacent note explains shared mobile exits, a topic with no dedicated crawl page and a lot of confusion.
2026-05-29 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Bring your own proxy
Credentials stay local. We do not sell traffic. This ethic page is the opposite of a broker blog: you bring the line, and the vault does not phone it home.
2026-05-17 · Sam Okonkwo · Proxies
Proxies in an antidetect browser
Bring your own HTTP or SOCKS5. No bundled exits. This pillar covers how a local profile uses a line you already pay for, and what the app will not broker.
