HighProxies

HighProxies is a US-based datacenter proxy provider that has been quietly serving SEO professionals, social media marketers, and ScrapeBox users since 2015. They sit firmly in the old-school "buy private proxies by the IP, not by the gigabyte" camp — which is exactly why a specific class of buyer still chooses them over the residential giants. If you run keyword research at scale, manage multiple Instagram or Facebook accounts, or hammer Google with rank-tracking tools, HighProxies is built around your workflow rather than around modern e-commerce scraping.

The network is datacenter-only and split into four product lines: shared proxies, private (dedicated) proxies, classified ad proxies (for Craigslist and similar), and social media proxies tuned for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter. There are no residential, mobile, or ISP IPs in the mix, and no peer-sourced network — every IP comes from datacenter ranges in the US, UK, and selected European and Asian locations. HighProxies advertises city-level subnet selection and multi-subnet allocation, which matters for SEO buyers who need IP diversity across rank-tracking tasks. The provider quotes 1 Gbps datacenter speeds, unlimited bandwidth, and a 99% uptime target.

Pricing is per-IP and per-month rather than per-GB, which is unusual in 2026 and is the main reason HighProxies still has a loyal base. Shared proxies start around $0.57/month, private dedicated proxies from roughly $1.20/month, and social media proxies from around $2.34/month, with bulk discounts as you scale into larger packages. There is no monthly bandwidth meter to worry about — once you own the IPs, you can push as much traffic as you want. They offer a 3-day refund window rather than a true free trial, and they do not accept credit cards directly, which has been a recurring complaint; PayPal and crypto are the main payment paths.

On the product side, HighProxies is HTTP/HTTPS only — there is no SOCKS5 support, which immediately rules them out for a chunk of scraping and bot use cases. Authentication is by IP whitelist or username/password, activation is instant after payment, and they support up to 100 concurrent connections per IP. The dashboard is minimal and dated compared with Decodo or Webshare, but it does the job: download proxy lists, swap IPs on a monthly refresh cycle, file support tickets. Support is ticket-based and generally responsive, though not 24/7 live chat in the way bigger providers run it.

HighProxies makes sense for SEO agencies running ScrapeBox, GSA Search Engine Ranker, SENuke, or Sape; for affiliate marketers managing fleets of social accounts; and for anyone who wants flat-rate datacenter IPs without metered GB billing. It does not make sense if you need residential IPs for sneaker copping, mobile carrier ASNs for ad verification, JA3-resilient scraping against Cloudflare-protected sites, or a modern API with sticky session controls. Compared to BrightData or Oxylabs, HighProxies is a fraction of the price but a fraction of the capability — they are a focused datacenter shop, not a full data collection platform.

The trade-offs are worth flagging up front. The IP pool is small relative to residential providers, the same subnets get reused across customers on the shared tier, and some social platforms have learned to flag known HighProxies ranges — so freshness is not guaranteed on aggressive accounts. The no-SOCKS5 limitation and the awkward payment options are the most common deal-breakers buyers report. Treat HighProxies as a cheap, specialised tool for SEO and social media workflows where datacenter IPs are still good enough, rather than as a general-purpose proxy network.
