Q1 2026 has been one of our biggest quarters yet. We shipped two brand-new proxy products, launched a full suite of free proxy tools, and completely rebuilt our IP Lookup and Proxy Checker from the ground up. Here is everything that changed.
New Products
Rotating Datacenter Proxies
We launched Rotating Datacenter Proxies for customers who need the fastest possible speeds at scale. Every request gets a fresh datacenter IP automatically -- no manual rotation needed. Key highlights:
- Auto-rotating IPs on every request or at custom intervals
- 40+ countries with country, state, and city-level geo-targeting
- Sub-300ms response times -- the fastest proxy type we offer
- Unlimited bandwidth on all plans
- HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocol support
- Starting at $1.00/GB with volume discounts down to $0.82/GB
Rotating datacenter proxies are ideal for web scraping, price monitoring, SEO rank tracking, and any high-volume data collection where speed is the priority.
Rotating Mobile Proxies
We also launched Rotating Mobile Proxies -- real 4G/5G carrier IPs with automatic rotation. Mobile IPs carry the highest trust score of any proxy type because they are shared by thousands of real smartphone users on carrier networks via CGNAT. Key highlights:
- Real 4G/5G carrier IPs from AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, and 100+ carriers worldwide
- 120+ countries with carrier-level targeting
- Auto-rotation per request or sticky sessions up to 30 minutes
- Virtually undetectable -- platforms rarely block mobile IPs because it would affect thousands of legitimate users
- Starting at $3.50/GB with volume discounts down to $2.45/GB
Rotating mobile proxies are the best choice for social media management, account creation, ad verification, and any task where the highest level of IP trust is required.
Free Proxy Tools Suite
We built and launched a complete suite of 7 free proxy and privacy tools, all available without signup:
IP Lookup Tool -- Completely Rebuilt
Our IP Lookup Tool was rebuilt from scratch. It now goes far beyond basic geolocation:
- VPN detection -- identifies whether an IP is behind a VPN service
- Proxy detection -- flags IPs routing through proxy servers
- Datacenter detection -- identifies IPs originating from data centers rather than residential ISPs
- Risk scoring -- assigns a Low, Medium, or High fraud risk rating with color-coded badges
- VPN provider identification -- tells you which VPN service is being used
- Proxy type classification -- identifies the type of proxy (HTTP, SOCKS, etc.)
- Dual-provider geolocation with automatic fallback for maximum reliability
Proxy Checker -- Rebuilt with Multi-Protocol Support
The Proxy Checker was completely rewritten to support all major proxy protocols without false flagging:
- HTTP Forward proxy detection
- HTTP CONNECT tunnel detection
- SOCKS5 with full handshake and authentication support
- Smart port detection -- SOCKS ports (1080, 9050) try SOCKS5 first
- Three proxy input formats: ip:port, ip:port:user:pass, and user:pass@ip:port
- Bulk checking -- test up to 100 proxies at once
- Real-time results with speed, country, protocol type, anonymity level, and exit IP
Additional Free Tools
Each tool page includes detailed feature explanations, step-by-step usage guides, and comprehensive FAQs to help users understand what they are testing and why it matters.
