Cybersecurity Testing proxies for business teams
Datacenter proxies for security teams and consultancies running authorised tests on systems they own or are permitted to test, from varied source IPs.
What teams use Cybersecurity Testing proxies for
Search, research and data teams use them to load public pages from the right location at the volume a report needs, from rankings and ads to prices, competitor pages and QA runs, within each site's terms.
Security assessments your team schedules
Security teams need to view their own applications from outside the network and from more than one source address, so firewall, WAF and geo-blocking rules can be checked rather than assumed. Datacenter proxies give authorised assessments speed and concurrency, pointed only at systems the organisation owns or is permitted to test, under clear written authorisation.
Set the scope and sign-off first
Agree in writing which systems are in scope and who approved the test. A documented authorisation protects the team and keeps the assessment on the right side of the law before any traffic is ever sent.
Validate the perimeter per region
Schedule runs from datacenter exits in the regions you serve to confirm geo-blocking, WAF rules and firewalls respond correctly from each. Problems found this way reach the owning team as specific, regional findings.
Choose the plan for scanning
Datacenter, billed per GB, suits authorised scans of your own systems, with exits chosen by country. Assessment traffic can be heavier than expected, so start with a modest order, measure what a full run uses, then size the next order from that figure.
Keep a clean audit trail
Record what was tested, from where and under whose authorisation, so the assessment stands up to internal review. Tidy records matter as much as the findings when security work is signed off.
The plan we suggest for Cybersecurity Testing
We suggest Datacenter here. It costs less per GB than our other plans and loads public pages quickly wherever a site accepts datacenter traffic. Firewall, geo-blocking and WAF rules only prove themselves against traffic from outside, so security teams test their own applications from several external source IPs. Datacenter proxies supply the speed and concurrency that authorised scans and penetration tests need, pointed only at systems you own or are permitted to test.
Authorised testing only
Scope comes first. Before any traffic is sent, list the applications and infrastructure your organisation owns or holds explicit written permission to test; nothing outside that list is a target.
External perspective
Rules tested from inside the office prove little. Sending requests from outside IPs in several regions shows the team how the perimeter, WAF and geo-blocking really respond.
High throughput
Assessment windows are often short. With 1Gbps speed and high concurrency, authorised vulnerability scans and load-related checks finish inside the slot that was agreed.
Tooling compatible
The team keeps its usual toolkit: scanners and in-house scripts point at the proxy over HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5, and the assessment workflow stays the same.
Matching each job to a plan
Most teams run more than one kind of job. Data is bought per plan, so volume checks can sit on a lower-cost plan while the jobs that need a household or carrier connection get one.
Datacenter
Suggested hereOur entry-level rate per GB. Suits high-volume checks on your own sites and on public pages that accept datacenter traffic, such as rank tracking and catalogue sweeps.
Datacenter plan details →Residential
Household IPs whose owners consented to share their bandwidth. Use it when a report must show what local customers are shown, or when a site serves datacenter visitors something else.
Residential plan details →Residential Premium
Premium-grade residential IPs for demanding work. Shift any job that keeps failing on standard residential here, plus brand-protection sweeps and checks a client's reputation depends on.
Residential Premium plan details →Mobile 4G/5G
IPs from 4G/5G carrier networks, for apps, social platforms and mobile ad placements that need to be seen the way phone users see them.
Mobile 4G/5G plan details →Several markets, one order
MIX packages are ready-made residential pools covering several countries at once, so a multi-market report can run from a single order.

The reseller programme is free to join. Once approved, you create a login for each client through the REST API and set your own client prices.

Getting the team set up
Four steps take a team from order to first check, using the browsers and tools it already works with.
Size the order
Start on Datacenter, the plan suggested above, and choose how many gigabytes the work needs. The proxy calculator shows the total first.
Pay by card or crypto
Stripe handles card payments and Cryptomus handles crypto. Each order is a one-off, valid for 30 days, with no subscription to cancel.
Set the market
Pick the country on the order form, together with the protocol and sign-in method, so agree which market the work covers before checkout.
Give the team access
The dashboard shows the login details once the payment has gone through. Pass them to the colleagues who need them, or whitelist the office IP so nobody has to type a password.
Rotation or a sticky session?
- ▸Per-request rotation moves every request to a different IP. Use it for wide, read-only sweeps of public pages, such as price lists or search results.
- ▸Sticky sessions hold one IP for a window you choose, typically 1-30 minutes, for signed-in or multi-step tasks such as stepping through a client's checkout.
Both are switched in the dashboard, and the options on offer depend on the plan. Keep request rates modest either way.
Signing in
- ▸Username and password in the
host:port:user:passformat that browsers, browser-profile tools and monitoring software accept. - ▸IP whitelist: add your office or server address in the dashboard, and anything connecting from it gets in without credentials, which suits shared office lines and scheduled jobs.
Both work over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, and the protocol can be changed later in the dashboard at no extra charge.
Match the IP to the market you report on
Search rankings, prices, ads and even which products appear can change with the visitor's country. Set the IP to the market your client or campaign targets, and the screenshots and figures your team files will line up with what customers there are shown.
- ✓55+ countries to choose from.
- ✓City-level targeting where the network supports it.
- ✓One country per check keeps month-on-month results comparable.
Major markets on the network
When a report doesn't match what the client sees on the ground, the IP's country is one of the first things to check.
How the four plans compare
Every plan bills per GB. The highlighted row is the plan we suggest for this work.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Datacenter Suggested | Standard | ★★★★★ | $ | $3.50 | Bulk page checks, rank tracking and QA on your own sites |
| Residential | High | ★★★ | $$ | $3.99 | Local prices, search results, ads and marketplaces |
| Residential Premium | Very high | ★★★★ | $$$ | $6.50 | Demanding sites, brand protection and client work |
| Mobile 4G/5G | Very high | ★★★ | $$$$ | $4.50 | Apps built for phones and ads served on mobile networks |

Keeping Cybersecurity Testing work within the rules
We sell these proxies for legitimate business work: market and price research, ad verification, SEO, brand protection, QA and compliant automation, including running your own accounts inside each platform's rules. Whatever your team does through them has to stay within the terms of service of every site involved and the law that applies to you and your clients.
- ✓Collect only publicly available information, and pace requests so the site isn't put under strain.
- ✓No proxy can promise that an account escapes action by the platform. That depends mostly on how the account is used and whether it follows the terms.
- ✓Personal details in collected pages, such as names, contact details or reviews, bring data-protection duties with them. Agree with your legal team what you keep and for how long.
The full rules are in our acceptable use policy.
