New User's Guide Star: How to Choose the Right Proxy List
Not sure where to start? Match your scenario with the recommendation below. Each link jumps directly to the best fitting list.
Scenario 1: "I just want to bypass geo‑restrictions to watch news or videos..."
Begin with the HTTP Proxy List — largest pool & simplest usage. For encrypted sites, prefer entries that also appear within our HTTPS Proxy List for SSL security. This works perfectly for accessing BBC iPlayer, Netflix regional content, or YouTube videos blocked in your region. Most browsers support HTTP proxy configuration natively, making setup effortless.
Scenario 2: "I need it for gaming, specific software, or P2P transfers..."
Choose the SOCKS5 Proxy List. It supports broader protocol handling (including UDP in many clients) and offers better versatility for desktop applications, game launchers, and mixed traffic. SOCKS5 is ideal for Steam downloads, Discord voice chat, BitTorrent clients, or any software that requires flexible port handling. Look for proxies with sub-100ms latency for gaming applications.
Scenario 3: "I need to access a website from a specific country (e.g., Hulu in the US)..."
Use a region‑matched proxy. Head to our country pages like the US Proxy List, UK Proxy List, or German Proxy List. Each lists only IPs geolocated in that region. This is essential for services like Hulu (US-only), BBC iPlayer (UK-only), or accessing regional Amazon Prime catalogs. Check the proxy's city location if you need to appear from a specific metropolitan area.
Scenario 4: "My top priority is protecting my privacy and leaving no trace..."
Pick from the Elite Proxy List. Elite (high anonymity) proxies remove identifying headers and avoid exposing that a proxy is in use—ideal for sensitive browsing and account activities. These are perfect for managing multiple social media accounts, conducting market research, or accessing websites that aggressively detect and block proxy traffic. Elite proxies completely mask your original IP and browser fingerprint.
⭐ Expert Tip: Combining Proxies for Maximum Power
Advanced Strategy: The most experienced users combine proxies from different countries and anonymity levels to create powerful workflows. For example, you might use a US proxy to access American content, then switch to an elite proxy for sensitive account management, and finally rotate through anonymous proxies for web scraping tasks.
Pro technique: Keep a backup list of 3-5 proxies from different countries in your browser settings. When one becomes slow or blocked, quickly switch to another. This rotation strategy significantly improves success rates for complex tasks like automated data collection or managing multiple online accounts across different platforms.
Advanced tip: For businesses or power users, consider pairing country-specific proxies with protocol diversity. Use SOCKS5 for applications requiring UDP support, HTTPS proxies for secure web browsing, and HTTP proxies for high-speed data transfers. This multi-layer approach provides both flexibility and redundancy.
