When selecting a proxy from our service, choosing the correct purpose from the list in the shopping cart is vital for ensuring that the proxies you receive meet your specific needs. Here’s why this is important:

  • Tailored Compatibility: Our custom checker verifies each proxy's compatibility with various websites. When you select a purpose like “Amazon” or “Facebook,” you are ensuring that the proxies you receive have been tested and proven to work seamlessly with that particular site. This means you won’t encounter issues with connectivity or functionality related to site-specific restrictions or requirements.

  • Optimized Performance: Proxies assigned with a specific purpose are optimized for performance on that site. For example, proxies labeled for “Google Scraping” are configured to handle large-scale data extraction tasks without getting blocked, while those for “Google Account Creation” are optimized to avoid issues with account verifications and limits.

  • Reduced Risk of Detection and Blocks: By choosing proxies that are specifically tested and approved for your desired site, you reduce the risk of getting blocked or flagged. Our system ensures that only proxies that have been confirmed to work with a given site are assigned that purpose, thereby minimizing the chances of detection.

  • Focused Support: If you encounter any issues or need support, selecting a specific purpose helps us understand your exact requirements. This way, we can offer more precise assistance and troubleshooting based on the particular website and task you're working with.

  • Efficiency: Selecting the correct purpose helps you avoid wasting time and resources on proxies that might not perform as needed for your task. By receiving proxies vetted for your specific use case, you ensure that every proxy you use is effective and reliable.

How to Choose the Right Purpose:

  1. Identify Your Task: Determine what you need the proxy for—whether it's scraping data from Google, managing accounts on Amazon, or any other specific function.

  2. Select the Appropriate Purpose: From the list, choose the purpose that matches your requirements. This will ensure that the proxies you receive are tested and optimized for that specific site or task.

  3. Trust in Our Verification: Our custom checker does the hard work of ensuring compatibility. By choosing the designated purpose, you leverage our expertise and validation to get proxies that work as expected.

  4. Don't Select "Other" If a More Suitable Purpose Is Available: "Other" purpose means that the proxies that fall under this category were not tested by any specific purpose checker. Although all our proxies are high quality, the risks of such proxies being incompatible with your target or software are higher.

  5. Discuss Your Use Case with Support: If you don't see your target in the list of "Purposes", it's a good idea to discuss this with our 24/7 Chat Support before or after the purchase. Our managers will do their best to provide you with the most appropriate proxies for your Use Case.

By selecting the right purpose for your proxy, you ensure optimal performance, reduced risk of issues, and more efficient use of your resources. If you have any questions or need assistance in choosing the right purpose, our team is here to help!
