The latest guides, research, and updates from the Proxidize team.
Zeid Abughazaleh on Aug 4, 2026Websites block web scrapers by layering technical signals with behavioral signals so that no single fix clears every check on its own. According to Akamai's 2024 State of the Internet report, bots make up 42% of all web traffic, and roughly two-thirds of that traffic is malicious rather than legitimate (Akamai, 2024).

Yazan Sharawi on Jul 30, 2026The best proxy for an AI agent is Proxidize when the agent already has an HTTP client or browser and needs direct, auditable control of the proxy layer. Choose Bright Data when the agent should call one managed platform for search, scrape, crawl, extraction, and browser actions. Choose Decodo for a lower-cost managed scraping MCP, Oxylabs for enterprise Playwright sessions, ScraperAPI for simple fetch requests, Browserless for browser-first automation, Apify for reusable Actors, or Firecrawl for LLM-ready web content.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Jul 29, 2026The best rotating mobile proxy provider depends on what you are actually buying. For a shared 4G/5G pool billed by traffic, Mobile proxies from Proxidize combines a flat $2/GB rate with city, ASN, and IP provider targeting in the US, UK, Canada, India, and Germany. It also offers an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets compatible AI clients help rotate IPs, switch locations, check usage, and manage access points. DataImpulse is the easiest low-cost global starting point, Decodo offers a strong mid-market feature set, and Bright Data provides the broadest enterprise control surface. IPRoyal publishes the longest configurable pooled-session duration, while SOAX has the clearest native UDP and QUIC support. There is no honest universal winner. A traffic-priced gateway into a shared mobile pool and a monthly dedicated mobile connection have different capacity, location, rotation, and session characteristics. Putting them in one price column without explaining those differences creates a misleading ranking.

The summary below highlights the strongest options before the article compares each one in detail.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Jul 13, 2026MCP is becoming one of the most important standards in AI infrastructure because it gives AI applications a consistent way to connect with tools, data, and workflows. Instead of building a separate integration for every model, app, or backend system, developers can use Model Context Protocol to expose capabilities once and make them available to compatible AI clients.
