Zeid Abughazaleh on Oct 30, 2026Use a proxy in Node.js through an Undici `ProxyAgent`, an Axios `proxy` object, or `undici.request()` with a dispatcher. Keep credentials outside source code, set a timeout, and validate the returned data. Test the observed exit IP before running the client against its intended destination.

Zeid Abughazaleh on Nov 22, 2024Python can make the same HTTP requests as a cURL command in three practical ways: translate the command into the Requests library, call libcurl through PycURL, or execute the installed curl program with subprocess.run(). The best method depends on whether you want a Python-native API, libcurl features, or exact compatibility with an existing cURL command.

Omar Rifai on Nov 15, 2024HTTP/3 will not make proxies obsolete. HTTP/3 runs over QUIC, which uses UDP instead of TCP, but that does not prevent proxying. SOCKS5 supports UDP relay through the UDP ASSOCIATE command, and the HTTP/3 standard recommends falling back to TCP-based HTTP when a QUIC connection cannot be established.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Nov 1, 2024Geolocation testing is the process of testing applications, websites, and digital services on different geographical IP addresses. Doing this is vital to ensure all programs run efficiently and effectively on international servers.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Oct 25, 2024To test proxies, confirm that the client can connect to and authenticate with each proxy endpoint. Verify the expected public IP address, then measure location accuracy, session behavior, latency, and valid-result rates. Finish with a controlled target test because an IP-check result alone cannot prove production suitability.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Oct 18, 2024Having someone send you your IP can be a scary interaction. It’s invasive and feels inherently threatening. Fears and worst-case scenarios might come to mind of what someone can do with your IP: they can figure out who you are, where you live, and do all sorts of hacking things.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Oct 11, 2024A virtual machine creates a separate guest operating system with its own kernel, processes, disk, and virtual hardware. An antidetect browser typically creates persistent browser profiles with separate cookies, storage, proxy settings, and configurable fingerprint-related signals while still running on the host OS. Choose a VM for operating-system separation and an antidetect browser for browser-profile management. Neither automatically changes your public IP.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Oct 4, 2024A virtual machine is a software-defined computer that runs a guest operating system through a hypervisor while using the host's physical CPU, memory, storage, and networking. Use one when a task needs a separate OS or reproducible test environment. A VM does not automatically change the public IP websites see; that depends on its network path and any proxy configured for the application.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Sep 27, 2024When one website refuses a request, it is tempting to call the problem an IP ban. The actual cause may instead be a rate limit, account restriction, authentication failure, geographic policy, web application firewall rule, service outage, or application error. Diagnose the restriction before trying to change the network path.
Read postOmar Rifai on Sep 25, 2024An IP score is a vendor-specific estimate of risk, reputation, or another property associated with an IP address. It is not one standardized Internet rating. A score may summarize abuse reports, blocklist data, network ownership, proxy or VPN classification, location consistency, or signals from the current request.

Abed Elez on Sep 18, 2024Update (September 2026): This post documents a temporary support extension announced during the 2024 Cloud Platform beta. It should not be read as the current support-plan policy. For current assistance, use the Proxidize Help Center, contact Support, or check the service status page.
