What is Proxy DB?
A simple directory that helps you find and explore proxy providers worldwide.
Problem
Users previously had to manually search and evaluate numerous proxy providers individually. Finding, filtering, and comparing providers based on specific requirements like location, price, and type was time-consuming and inefficient.
Solution
A proxy directory tool where users can filter providers by type (residential, datacenter), location, pricing model, and features. Centralizes global proxy providers into one searchable platform with comparison capabilities (e.g., view pricing tiers, geolocations, and API support side-by-side).
Customers
Data engineers, web scraping specialists, and e-commerce automation teams requiring proxies for data extraction, ad verification, or inventory monitoring.
Unique Features
Aggregates niche proxy providers (including lesser-known regional services) and provides real-time metrics like uptime statistics and API reliability scores directly in listings.
