CONTEXT BEFORE
CONCLUSIONS.

Provider intelligence with a source, a scope, and a timestamp.

Where does the data come from?

Provider profiles use company websites, company-published LinkedIn pages, and product documentation. Each profile links to its sources. Headquarters are included when a company source identifies them; a proxy server location or registered address alone is not treated as headquarters.

How is uptime reported?

We collect the percentages published on official status pages. Each percentage names the service it covers and preserves the source’s reporting window. These are provider-reported figures. We do not combine them into a global provider score or turn uptime guarantees into measured results.

Sources use different definitions for partial outages, maintenance, and availability. A service can report 100% uptime while its history includes degraded performance. Check the original page before comparing two percentages.

What does service status mean?

Status describes the provider’s report at the displayed check time. A historical uptime percentage and a current operational status answer different questions. Dashboard, website, API, and proxy network components remain separate. An unavailable source does not mean the provider is down.

How fresh is the information?

Every status snapshot shows when it was checked. Sources are reviewed and refreshed with site updates; the page does not continuously poll providers. Follow the official status link for changes since the recorded check. Missing percentages are left blank.

What about speed and request success?

We do not currently publish independent latency or request-success benchmarks. A meaningful comparison needs consistent destinations, runner and exit locations, request counts, timeout and retry rules, and content validation. Public status reports cannot supply those measurements.

How were providers selected?

The 55-provider directory includes international networks, specialists, and managed proxy APIs. Its order is curated. There are no affiliate links or paid placements, and a listing does not imply partnership or endorsement.

What does signup do?

Sign up for detailed analytics and tell us which providers and metrics matter to you. The form records your request for follow-up; it does not create a login. See our privacy notice for submission handling.
