High quality and fast proxies?

[Xeferen]

I am looking for high quality and fast proxies for parsing. I am wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on where I could purchase a good list of private proxies at a reasonable price?

KProxy: This seems to be the single most frequently recommended free proxy server

[rlirpa]

Note though that KProxy does have some limitations:

...you can only browse freely for three hours at a stretch, or until you’ve reached your 300MB data cap. Once you hit this limit, you might see a tab prompting you to purchase a premium account, but this isn’t mandatory – you can reconnect again free after taking a breather for 30 minutes.

When it comes to KProxy’s privacy policy, the firm notes: “You also understand that despite our best efforts this service may not provide a 100% guarantee of privacy and anonymity. In accordance with our privacy policy, KProxy reserves the right to turn over the IP addresses of users who abuse our system either to the appropriate legal authorities, or to those against whom abuse has been perpetrated.”...

I often need European and American proxies for different tasks. Most of all I like service proxy servers. If I buy a proxy package, I am sure that they will work for the entire period. By the way, proxies are updated every 8 days. If you need, you can do it manually.

For using proxies for commercial purposes and when using a large amount of traffic, can the service stop providing me such proxies?

No, the service does not ban. Even if you use such proxies for torrents.

As an example of what is and is not allowed by many proxies, see the "Prohibited Activites" and "Limited License Grant" sections of SmartProxy's License Agreement here: https://smartproxy.com/legal/license-agreement

The speed they offer is insane, like, blink-and-you'll-miss-it fast. Plus, the quality is top-notch, no glitches or hiccups so far. As for the question on the thread, if you're wondering whether these proxies are worth it, my two cents would be: heck yeah! I mean, if you're into anything that requires proxies, be it scraping data or just staying anonymous online, having reliable, speedy ones like these can be a game-changer. Saves you the headache of dealing with laggy connections or getting busted by some sneaky firewall. And no, this ain't some sponsored spiel or anything. Just a satisfied user sharing some love for a service that's made my online life a whole lot smoother. So yeah, if you're on the lookout for proxies that actually deliver what they promise, lightningproxies.net might just be your new best friend. xx
